American Idol

Wow. Did you all see that last night. I was so proud of Mandesah- I wanted to jump through the TV and then the judges made me so mad- especially Simon. I mean they were allowed to pick their favorite songs and everything and they can sing about everything else-- death, sadness, etc. etc...so what is wrong with singing about her life and faith in God. But I was so happy to see her - She is so open about her faith in such a public way. I hope we can all be that bold, and not be too shocked when people may make comments or whatever!

Waiting impatiently

Hey all,
I am so tired of waiting for baby. I am getting increasingly emotional and just so ready to meet this new little one. Jenn and Phil had a new baby--- congratulations to them on baby #4- a little boy who (as of the last time I spoke to them) is still un- named--- They better hurry in case I go into labour and use up one of their names;) I am so happy for the macCormack clan, especially Caleb.
We had a great weekend. Leanne and Eric had the boys for the first part of it , and Winston and Alicia took them the next half. Jacob didn't want to come home. He said he wanted to stay with Uncle Winston, and Auntie Alicia and when I said he had to come home with us- He said could stay with Auntie Leah. Do you think they get spoiled at all????
Then we all met up with Uncle Steve and Auntie Susan in Aulac at the Big stop- I am so blessed to have such awesome family who I love so much and who love my kiddies so much. We need a new battery for our digital camera and have on ordered to come any day, so I will post pics when I can--- hopefully it will come before baby Butler arrives.
Please pray for my cousin Kenny Cann. He is in Pettiwawa training to go to Afghanistan --- crazy. When did we all grow up??
Psalm 81 really struck me this week.... God says "But no, my people would n0t listen. Israel did not want me around, So I let them follow their blind and stubborn way, living according to their blind and stubborn way...... but Oh, that my people would listen to me.....How quickly would I subdue their enemies...." I wonder, how often do I miss out on the victory that God is longing to bring, because I choose to go my own way first. I love it when God's word jumps out at you and really hits home...anyone have any revelations this week??

Grace Youth

I was just thinking the last couple of days since I spent time home hanging with Alicia, corrina and Jackie, about how blessed I have been in my life to have become such wonderful friends with so many wonderful people -- People who when I see again, (or read about through the blogs) feel as close as ever... like no time has passed-- no akwardness, only joy to be together.... there are too many of you to mention-- you know who you are. I think all of us seeking God together (during RIOT) or doing ministry together, really, really made us family. Some margaree kids too!!
I am helping out a bit in the church here and am praying that I can make similar connections. It was so cool to have so many of us young un's serious about God, and open to seeking Him in such an open way with each other.
All this to say, I feel so blessed to have crossed paths with so many wonderful people in my life...so many people I feel so close to and love hearing what God continues to do in your lives, weddings, babies, ministies..... AWESOME. thank you God!!!

 

 

my 2 boys!! 

The Butlers

Hey all,

well I actually started a blog.
I can't believe I am part of this whole world, but when I started reading everyone's ( because Leanne and Susan kept talking about them), I got sucked in--- it is so fun seeing everyone and hearing about everyone---
I just got back from CB and had so much fun. I even went out with Alicia, Corrina, and Jackie and stayed out till 11:30-- big deal for a mother of 2 and 1/2 kids. I get so spoiled when I go home. Mom and Dad get up with the kids and I sleep in, then lie in bed and watch the today show with a cup of tea.
well, I will do something more daring soon--- maybe post a picture or 2 of my beautiful boys, or me and my prego belly or my and my awesome husband who I missed so much. I am hoping to have this baby before too long. I don't want to gain more weight-- argghhhh....... but it is worth it.
