Church Sunday School - 10:45am

Today was the last church sunday school for the 2nd service at 10:45am.
I am already missing the kids :)
In the afternoon, Pastor Ron had all the children's ministry leaders/helpers at their home for an 'appreciation' lunch.
It was nice to be there and I connected with so many people.

I received a thank-you note from one of my parents...I was quite touched!!


Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
Matthew 19:14

Doula - Wanna Be...

I attend my 2nd birth today...My friends from Life Group, William and Carole were expecting their 3rd girl.
I got the call at 4am from William to say that they were heading to the hospital. I met them there, along with their Doula Gisele.
As the hours trickled by, I was watching Gisele hard a work to help Carole deliver this baby.
I learned so much today and really feel that this is something I would like to work toward!

Hopefully, I will be attending my first Doula workshop in the Fall or early 2009...this will by one of many that I will have to take. Looking forward to this stage in my life.

It was such an amazing blessing to be there with William and Carole...children are a gift from God.

Ottawa Women's Boot Camp - Kettlebell training #5

We had such an amazing class Tuesday night. Learned a new move called 'the windmill' which is really good to strengthen shoulders, and core.

I was disappointed when the class finished, I was really enjoying this.



I am getting much stronger and have more coordination at this Kettlebell thing.



No class Thursday, or Canada Day.

Welcome to "The MET"

We had our Ministry Orientation meeting last night at our new church site....It is so amazing what the Lord is doing with this church.
Mike and I will have our own 2/3 year old class in September.
We are looking forward to being with His children and showing them God's love.

We are so thankful and blessed!!

Ottawa Women's Boot Camp - Kettlebell training #4

This workout was just amazing...the weather was not too hot, it was actually on the rainy drizzly side and I had a really good workout. Met some new people as we had to switch partners and learn their 'nicknames'..LOL
I am not too sore and feel really energetic!

Ottawa Women's Boot Camp - Kettlebell training #3

Okay, made it through the 3rd class, barely. I inadvertedly pulled a muscle even before we started...:( So I felt like I didn't really give my best to this class.
I am sore though, this time my back and arms as we were cradling the 12kg kettlebell from the ground up to our chins.

Overall, this has really improved my mobility and my joints are not as sore :).

Very thankful for this opportunity.

Ottawa Women's Boot Camp - Kettlebell training #2

Well, we made it through the 2nd training day, not sure how I was able to do any exercises as my legs were very stiff and sore.
Janet and I are having fun though!! It does feel good and I am feeling already more energetic.

This class we were on the beach at Mooney's Bay, barefeet and on the sand. It was a really great workout.
We learned some new moves and I will try to practice them this weekend :)

Ottawa Women's Boot Camp - Kettlebell training #1

Janet and I attended our first Boot camp - Kettlebell training last night.. After a few 'warm up' exercises, we launched right into learning new moves. I must say it is a great work out!! Works so many muscles and hopefully burning fat..LOL
The Kettlebells I was using weight 12 kg and 8 kg. Just walking with them is draining..imaging swinging one up in the air!! The instructors are great though and very encouraging.
My legs are quite sore today, doing lots of "squats" will do that.
Will keep updating after each training session.

Gardening/Landscaping

Mike has been quite busy re-doing a small portion of the front yard landscaping..I must add it looks wonderful already and I haven't planted anything yet.. :)
He has been hard a work, day after day...which is really great since the last couple of weeks he was so tired and completely out of energy.
We are enjoying the sunny, hot weather and are thankful for the gift of another day!

God is good...All the time
