Prayer Please...

Hey, just a quick note and request for prayer to my friends...Karla Yoder and I are getting together this weekend to prepare for a workshop that we were asked to hold at Borderland Ladies Retreat in Fort Frances, ON. We're going to be sharing about purity...beauty...modesty - so we're VERY excited about it -- nervous too though, to get two individuals' minds to get together on one topic! Please pray that we would be sensitive to the Spirit - would have soft hearts to know what the girls will need and respond to. Thanks so much!!

GASP!! She's updating!! : )

Yes, I am...and I'm quite excited about the new addition to my life!! I BOUGHT A CAR!! Ok...I'm in the process of buying a car. Pretty crazy feeling - I'm pretty sure I'm closer to being grown up now...whether I like it or not. No, I like it - it's worth it I believe.

Here 'tis!

And again...its a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am SE

And here are some other pics...cause I like pics...and I don't have anything else to write tonight

Jess and I's adorable puppy, Bailey...

...who is depressed right now because Jess is gone for the weekend!

Some pretty amazing kids!

My wonderful family...

...don't ask me what's up with Meg??!!

Some people I really miss...

Be blessed and filled with the truth that God cares about what you're going through...I've been blessed this week by the knowledge that God is in charge - of everything...He sees and knows and IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE to cry out to Him. God be with you all - let Him be Lord of ALL...

How often do you stop in the middle a moment and realize that it's wonderful? I had a moment like that this weekend - I actually stopped and thought about where I was and realized that given the choice, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else on the entire planet. It was extremely...filling. Want to know where I was? I was laying on my roof. Two wonderful people I'm blessed to call my friends were on either side of me...we were laying on a blanket and covered by a blanket (well, I was covered, being in the middle - they were only mostly covered!) - looking at the stars. Yes, it is still winter here. It was prolly about -10*C. But it was perfect...and cold...but so beautiful! The stars were glorious...even through some clouds...everything was quiet...and I knew it was a perfectly safe place for me - between my two friends. No expectations...demands...just being right there, right then...

Here's to Jess and Lesley for helping me have a wonderful weekend...thanks for making me feel cared for and not alone (hey, Sioux Lookout is kinda far from everywhere!). Guitar Hero...deep conversations...ice cream & strawberries (you're so bossy, Jess!)...time on the roof...deep conversations. ..scaring young girls...spontaneous moments...climbing trees...deep conversations...small amounts of sleep...getting stuck on the roof (still don't know who locked that window)...almost missing the bus...did I mention lots of good deep conversations and not a lot of sleep? I loved it - felt so blessed - and I'm so grateful to you guys for being here and just hanging out.

This is me...thanking God for my friends....these two...and all you others who so know who you are...

...and here's a picture I wasn't sure if I wanted to post on xanga, but since I look the worst of the three...
guess who...LOL

I'm an Auntie!!

Ok, so I'm not really an auntie...but I'm pretty close - I "feel" like an auntie. (not that I know how it feels) Anyways, my dear almost-sister, Delilah Yoder, had her precious baby boy on Thursday, January 17. His name is Bryson Cole - he's the first boy in a very long line of girls in the Schrock/Yoder families...but somehow I think he'll hold his own just fine - I know his proud Daddy will be a big help in that area! I'm REALLY far away from Virginia...really far away, but so goes life - and I still feel like a proud auntie!
for some pics go to her real aunties site... www.xanga.com/Orioles_fan1
God bless you today...may you delight in His presence.

  VBS was really, really great this year....

We had an excellent group of teachers - they cared so much about the kids and were so committed to making it a wonderful two weeks for them...they did a good job...
..Sweet faces..


..Precious Lives..


It was a very blessed, very beautiful two weeks...praising God for what He did...and praying protection for the seeds of truth that were planted...praying they'll remember the love and safety they felt here..
............................................................................
I cannot praise my Saviour enough for being sovereign...and CARING for me even when I don't like His sovereign will. I don' t have words to describe His faithfulness and love and constancy in our lives the last few weeks - the way He's just held us...and kept us going through each other...Grief doesn't go away...no, it may actually intensify as time goes on...but God doesn't leave when we cry. God doesn't leave when we ask questions...He comes through every time. "It may feel like He's failed you - but He hasn't failed you YET...don't you know there's another chapter in this story of your life?" (-beautiful truth from our pastor's sermon 2 weeks ago) I heard this song by Nicole Nordeman today and it just fit...hope it blesses you...
I believe in the rest of the story.I believe there's still ink in the pen.I have wasted my very last day.Trying to change what happened way back when...I believe it's the human condition.We all need to have answers to why.More than ever, I'm ready to say that I will still sleep peacefully.With answers out of reach from me...until...Someday all that's crazy.All that's unexplained.Will fall into place.And someday all that's hazy through a clouded glass.Will be clear at last.And sometimes we're just waiting.For someday...We are born with a lingering hunger.We are born to be unsatisfied.We are strangers who can't help but wander.And dream about the other side of...Someday all that's crazy.All that's unexplained.Will fall into place.And someday all that's hazy through a clouded glass.Will be clear at last.And sometimes we're just waiting.For someday...Every puzzle's missing piece.Every unsolved mystery.More than half of every whole.Rests in the Hands that hold you for someday
Carrie's sister Caitlin is getting married on Saturday - yes, so much grief and so much joy! Pray for all of us, please, if God brings us to your mind - thanks!
...Live fully...Seek God...
