It has been a long time since I have written a blog. Things have changed dramatically since I last blogged. Where do I begin? I will start with the present. I have an awesome teaching position at Mountain Christian School in Dawson Creek B.C. I love this school and I am already attached to the students that are in my care this year. The staff and administration are awesome!
Yes we have moved to Dawson Creek. It is an adjustment but there is no doubt that this is where God has led us. We have a beautiful two-bedroom apartment and I am only a couple of minutes from the school. B.C. is beautiful. The people in DC are very friendly.
Nelson is happy to be a little closer to his brothers. He has already taken a trip to Fort Nelson for a camping/hunting trip. We have also gone camping with Ted and Ophie. I would love to be a little closer to my brother in Abbortsford but I plan to make a trip out there on the first extra long weekend.
My mom and dad are doing well. Mom is pretty much the same over the past year. Her Alzheimer's is progressing much more slowly, which is good. Dad is able to cope better as he has learned how to handle her. I really miss them though, I am not sure when I will make it home again.
The past two years have been both crazy and good. Unfortunately Angela had to move back to Thompson as things did not work out for her to move to Macgregor. I do miss Conal and Victoria like crazy but it is what it is and we all have to adjust. "Sigh" I wish things could have been different but I believe God is in control and He knows whats best for all.
We are really enjoying Bethel Pentecostal Church in DC. We feel really blessed to be in close proximity to the church. We had to drive an hour every Sunday for church in Manitoba and as a result could not get plugged in the way we wanted to. However we had to leave behind some wonderful friends and an awesome church family but we feel completely at home at Bethel.
Pastor Gordon has been preaching on the "Seasons" of our lives. Very applicable for us right now. We are looking forward with excitement and anticipation for what God has in store for us here. My favorite verse is found in Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. We are looking forward to our "season" in Dawson Creek.
Happy teacher signing out:)
