OAC annual BBQ

Went to the lovely little town of Osgoode to attend the Open Air Campaigner's (http://www.oacottawa.net/)annual BBQ at Layton and Deb's house. It was so nice to see little Layton..he is such a cutie.

Sheryl, Deb and I had so much fun in the kitchen getting stuff ready and cleaning up. Met lots of the street team that meet up on Friday nights.

Layton took out his guitar and we had a great hour or so of worship!! God is good.

Women's Bible study group at the MET

I had a really lovely evening tonight, with the "Crazy Italians" group. I already feel such a connection and intimacy with this women. They are so welcoming and warm. Connie is such a great leader and she read something really special from Max Lucado's book - Next Door Savior!! I was crying by this time as it is quite touching!!

I now need to go buy this book and read it myself!!

Also, today Mike and I celebrate our 3rd Wedding Anniversary. What a joy to be amongst our fellow believers in Christ!

Women's Bible study group at the MET

Tonight we had our first Women's Evening Bible Study which draws women together each week who have a desire to meet other women and study the Scriptures. Our evenings begin with worship with both men and women, followed by gathering together of women around table groups. I am in the "Crazy Italian's" group.
We just spent the evening getting to know each other. It was a really nice evening. I am very thankful to be a part of this group and look forward to next week.

Painting the kitchen red

I am done coat #3 of the red in the kitchen. Hopefully, after tomorrow I will be all finished. You can see in the background the really nice rich red..and of course Mike and his 'green stuff' and showing of his armpit..

and oh yes, the door will be put back on after I paint tomorrow.

Mike missed his appointment with Dr. JM Caudrelier

I got a call today from his receptionist, seems Mike had an appointment today at the Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre with the doctor. I made an other appointment for him on November 14th.
We are still waiting to hear from the neuro-surgeon, Dr. Agbi as he wanted Mike to go for another MRI soon.

We wait and we trust and lean on the Lord.

Winnipeg Transition

Found out today that they are delaying the start date for the Winnipeg training to sometime in January 2009. I was quite relieved about all this. So much going on here at home...then again, the Lord knows this too...and it is in His time.

1st Sunday teaching a class together at the MET

Mike and I had our first class teaching the 2 and 3 years olds today. We had so much fun!! It was so nice to see the kids after what seems like a long summer....there were many new faces, most did okay with the transition though.

We had 2 great helpers, Angela and Sarah. Sarah read the story of baby moses and all 11 little ears were listening to her, it was so cute.

We then helped them all do a little craft and they had lots of fun..especially with the glue (I am hiding the markers)..

We feel so energized after being with the kids, they really are a blessing to us!!

BBQ at Jerry and Joanne's

We really had a good time at the BBQ today. Mostly everyone from the Schwartz family was there and it was good to see them all. I was able to eat so much food, without worrying about wheat/gluten. I am very thankful!
