GrEightful

We survived a crazy week, and have embarked on another crazy week! Still so much to be grateful for in the midst of the craziness! :o)

This week I am grateful for:

1. A day with my kiddos! I was supposed to have two interviews on Wednesday, but due to the crazy snow storm, they were both canceled. Actually one was supposed to be with the RCMP and they called me and told me not to come in as the road conditions were pretty bad. Who can argue with the RCMP. So I stayed home and kept the kids home with me. We played a lot and we even all took naps.

2. Modular classes. John had a modular class, which is a class in a week. He loved it! It was so challenging, revealing and discerning. It was so awesome to come home and find him completely on fire for the Lord and to hear about the ways that God has been working, moving and speaking to him. He also had an amazing Prof. who was full of spiritual discernment and who seemed to know more about his heart than most people who are supposed to. He also offered to be a reference for John on any Ministry positions in the future that he may look at.

3. New recipes. My Mom and Bill brought up a whole bunch of veggies for us. We had a bunch of beets that needed to be used up and then our neighbours also gave us some beets from their garden. I made Borscht for the first time and we LOVED it! I made so much, we have bags of it in the freezer for later.

4. Challenging messages and amazing testimonies at Church. We are doing a series at our church called 'Do Something'. I will share more on it later.

5. 1 Terabyte Hard Drives. Yup, we bought one and I backed all of my pictures, scrap book layouts, resumes, cover letters up and I can sleep a little easier! I love that Hard Drive that we got too as it is compatible with both PC and Mac and does not require re-formatting. YAY! Not to mention it will handle the new USB 3.0. (does that sound a little techy---I had a customer ask me if I was a geek--I am not there yet, but the learning curve on computers and technology is incredible).

6. New possibilities and opportunities that are on the horizon. Even if they do not go through, it is nice to know that they are out there.

7. The end of October and that Halloween is over with, so that now we can focus on Christmas.

8. New ideas and ways that God has been speaking to me on. Check out my blog tomorrow for a new announcement regarding this. I will give you a hint---it will be my first give-away ever!!

And I couldn't resist posting a few picks of my incredibly adorable kids. See what happens when I spend the day hanging out with them----I have more time to bring out the camera! :o)
