Well, it sure has been a while since I last logged in and posted anything on here. I should start doing this more often... Where should I begin? Logging on and reading "Box of Butterflies" has reminded me of a ladies  retreat, thing, that was held in Grenfell Apostolic Church a few months ago. We talked and prayed about freedom that night, being free in the Spirit. My mom shared a vision she had. There were butterflies locked in cages and then someone came and put the key in the locks and set them all free. I don't remember it all exactly, but it did create a beautiful picture in my head. That's just a bit of randomness I thought of. 

This summer as definitely not been the easiest for me. First of all, I had the whole summer off, because I work at a school, and I decided to take advantage of having a free summer. I applied for EI, but there were some complications and I didn't receive the money until just a few days ago. That added a lot of stress on my part. And some family issues arose just a couple of weeks ago too, which added a little more stress to not only me but my whole family. I did however get the chance to go away a few times this summer, which was fun even if I didn't have money to spend. I went to Family Camp at Springside with a friend. We were the only campers there for a few days. It was a nice little getaway, quiet, fun, etc. It was good time spent well with God. I learned a lot, some of which I hope to share with the church some day through worship. After Family Camp, my friend and I went up to Saskatoon for a few days to visit and reconnect with old friends. I had a good time there, I got to spend time with my close Saskatoon friends, all together in one night!

My next trip happened in August, I flew to BC with my brother. We stayed with our pregnant sister, Melissa, and her husband, Cavan. It was the nicest holiday this summer (sorry Saskatoon and camp). We went hiking, went to the zoo, and went to White Rock. We also got to go to Red Robin (best food ever). And even though I got grouchy sometimes, it was nice to spend time with my sister before she has her baby, and to get away once more before I started work. Speaking of work, I started full-time again at Grenfell High School! That's exciting because in June I had been laid off, so I had applied at some other schools and got half-time at Wolseley High School and half-time here in Grenfell, but then a full-time opened here again and now I got that! 

Well that's my life the past few months. I don't really have much more to say except, to those who have been praying for me thank you so much, I really appreciate it! And anyone new to reading this, I would really appreciate your prayers as well. God bless you all, and again thank you so much!
