From Ministry to Motherhood

Game 7

It’s game 7 tonight. Go Leafs Go! My family right now is going nuts. My brother, a life long Leafs fan who has for years cheered a team that was floundering is beyond excited. My Dad is feeling the same way. Together they have tried desperately to make a fan out of my husband by [...]

We need to notice.

Last week I was horrified as I read about the collapse of a garment factory in Bangladesh. As I read of the tragedy and saw the horror in pictures my heart broke for those who’d lost their lives, for the family left behind and I tried to make sense of it all. Why do these [...]

Roots matter.

I spent the afternoon with my hands in the dirt. It was marvellous. I’m preparing my garden for growth. Getting the soil just right so that when the plants are ready to sink in they will be met with a wonderful environment. As I had my hands in the dirt I found myself transplanting the [...]

A dangerous thing.

As I’ve told you, it looks like my time of regular supply is coming to an end and I was doing well with this information until I realized how much time I am going to have on my hands when it happens. The thing is I love crafting services for Sunday. Digging into the word [...]

My Keurig and I have an understanding. It will work for me provided I put a little effort in. I need to buy the coffee and fill the reservoir. The last part is what gets me every time. More mornings than I might care to admit have involved me waiting for my coffee to brew [...]

We need a holistic approach

Last weekend I attended a two day event about young people and their engagement in the church. It specifically looked at the Hemorrhaging Faith report which looks for the reason behind the mass exodus we the church in Canada are experiencing. I say mass exodus and I’m not joking. According to the report, 70% of [...]

We begin here…

My son is laying in his room complaining to his Dad about bed time. He’s not ready to go. There are more books to be read and he’s sure he can convince Dad to do so. He had a good day filled with crayons and cars, food and books. He had a good day and [...]

We don’t need to know the hows or the whys…

My husband is amazing and discovered iTunes Match this week which lets me stream my entire collection of music anywhere I go. I’m not entirely certain how it works but it does and I love it. I’ve discovered music from my past and I think he may be regretting that as the music of my [...]

It takes a village.

Becky — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 01:00:02 +0000

Every night before bed my son and I read together. He dives under the covers and we read stories that take us to far away places like Little Critter Land and the Island of Sodor. We also read the classics from my youth like Robert Munsch and The Berenstain Bears. When we were at Costco [...]

The surprises of spring

Becky — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 10:00:13 +0000

It’s spring time. The chives have returned and life is springing forth into the world. I think because Easter was so early this year I am noticing it more. There are signs of resurrection all around me and I am reminded daily that we are a resurrection people. We’ve survived the winter and are now [...]
