Last few weeks

Thank you to my dear friends for encouraging me and praying for me as I began this new job. The Lord has answered your prayers and mine and has sustained me through the last 2 weeks. I am feeling more comfortable and confident. The Lord is good! There are harder days, but the Lord gives me rest when I get home :)

Besides work, a lot of craziness has gone on in our home in the past weeks.


First, our newest member, Bibitte, got stuck in a tree and Adam had to climb up to get him out. Bibitte met the neighbours dog and the two did not get along.

I was hoping this incident would make him afraid of returning outside. But no such luck. He runs out the door as soon as it opens. We really have to watch him!!



Then, just last week, Bud got hit by a car. Poor thing has cuts and scraps on his legs, stomach and face. But we are blessed that it was not worst. No broken bones! We were truly thankful.

We've been keeping a close eye on him since then. No more visits to see the neighbours dog!!











On a brighter note, we had a fun time with friends and family at a sugar bush. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I especially LOVE all the sugar!! But it's a good thing that it only happens once a year, because I would gain WAY TOO MUCH weight!!

New job

It's been a while since I've had a few spare moments in front of a computer.
I started a new job on Tuesday. Something totally different. Something scary. Something I never thought I would take. But I did. And I have decided to give it my all.
I am the scheduling assistant to the President of the Treasury Board. You can't get much higher than working for the President... ok, you can if you work for the Prime Minister. But I dont want that kind of job. But I thought that about the job I have now. I had told myself I would NEVER go back to taking care of someone's schedule. And here I am doing only that! It's only day 2 and I can tell it will be a busy job.
But I am blessed. The people working there are great and very helpful. They are very knowledgable and patient with me. And so far, they seem to trust my judgement. :)

And because I am too hard on myself I cry almost every night due to fatigue; because I am so tired from all the pressure I put on myself. I am thankful my Heavenly Father is not as hard on me as I am on myself! He seems me as I really am and loves me just the same! What a blessing!
