With Thanksgiving

Atlast an update in the land of blog to let you know what we have been doing for the past 3 months.

In some ways it seems like just yesterday since we left camp but in other ways it seems like a lifetime ago. All in all it has been a journey of faith.

Once again we find ourselves in a new place of belonging. We have now been gone from Ontario for over 1 year and during this thanksgiving weekend we've been reflecting.

We are thankful for:
family-they have been our strength
friends-true friends who have prayed, encouraged, and loved us through transition
faith-without God there would be no hope or direction
each other-everyday moments are more precious

We have settled into Camrose, Alberta and are enjoying the beauty of this little city situated about an hour south of Edmonton. We've experienced our first northern lights display and even had wildlife, (deer) right outside our residence.

So what on earth are we doing here??
Well, there comes a time in life when change is inevitable and we hit that time head on. Through much prayer and counsel we decided to leave the camp in Manitoba. It was an important decision for the holistic wellbeing of our existance. So, God provided a new place of rest. We are now living on the campus of Gardner Bible College. The school graciously provided at a reasonable cost, a one bedroom suite for us in their resident dorm and allowed us to move in the end of July. Within a week David was able to find employment at Totem Building Supplies where he does counter sales and customer service.(All indoor work) In September, Sonya started studies to complete her Bachelor of Theology, which she started almost 20 yrs ago, and is already headed into mid-terms next week.

We very much like our new place of belonging and will try to update this new blog on a regular basis. For those who want to follow our updates please mark this in your favourites. We'd love to keep in touch with everyone, so feel free to post a comment, email or even send a letter.
