What We Desire





Some of you have asked how living in our "cozy" suite is suiting us. Well, we do believe that all of us have adjusted well. Our cats, Charity and Chloe at times feel limited on their roaming adventures but they are learning to become better friends. They have also become far more socialable with us too. Quite often all four of us will be sitting on the sofa together and there is no holding back their desires when the alarm goes off in the morning and they want to be fed. Even today it was like waking up to the hallelujah chorus...the two of them on the bed and meowing loud enough so we would hear them. They've got nerve....those spoiled "kids".

This made me think about our relationship with our Heavenly Father. What we may want and desire is not always what He knows is best for us. No matter how loudly or persistantly we "cry" out to Him, He patiently comforts us and continues to protect us and He allows us to come to Him again and again with His arms wide open.

We are experiencing a very long winter here. It warms up for abit and then we get hit with another cold bitter snap, which we are currently in right now. Not much snow, just bitter winds.

Reading


So, what have you been reading lately? It seems like most of Sonya's spare time is spent on reading and David usually reads the daily news off the internet.
It is said that reading keeps the mind sharp but after so much reading is that still true?
The students in the residence have been facing mid-terms this week so there have been alot of late nights, drinking coffee, eating popcorn and laughter which has helped when it comes to releasing tension. There is never a dull moment around here. Although Saturday mornings it is very quiet.

Sunshine

Well we thought in honour of the month we'd have some fun and change the colours up on our blog. If we could have decorated it with little hearts and such we would but that option is not available in the template choices from blogspot. For those who find this hard on the eyes....don't worry it is only temporary.
Thismorning we woke up to a beautiful sun shiny day and it's suppose to be getting warmer too. We've truly been suprized about the weather here and perhaps that's why we write about it so often. It is a constant reminder to us of God's mighty hand and His creative power.
