The Weekend and Some Thoughts

What a GREAT weekend. We started it off with the drive-in with a lovely couple, and we had a blast eating sugar snap peas, grapes, strawberries, candy, and caramel corn. We talked we laughed and we posed for pictures.
 This is me and Stephanie, just before the sunset!
Rob and the lovely couple.
Here's Rob being Rob and Stephanie smiling as she watches cute little girls giggle with their mom.

Saturday we spent selling a motorcycle, hanging out with our niece and Rob's brother, and then doing pretty much nothing all evening. Sunday we slept in (skipped church :S) and went for a walk around Conestogo lake...which was fun but not quite the hike we were looking for. 
Sorry about taking so long to do this post! The week gets going and the evenings just fill in so fast! Last night we went to a campfire and the lovely Yantzi farm. SO I am typing this up smelling like stale campfire...mmmmm!

 Today I'm supposed to write about my most embarrassing moment. Maybe the reason why I didn't type this up quickly on Monday was because I'm not really sure what my most embarrassing moment is. Not that I have many, many hugely embarrassing moments but because I can't really pick out a moment that stands out for me. 

There have been a lot of moments that were embarrassing at the time, but now that I look back they don't seem that embarrassing anymore. I don't have anything recently, but there is a funny story from grade 6 that I can tell y'all.

When I was in grade 6 I was hanging out at my friends house. Her parents had left and we were being 12-year-old girls, giggling, talking and thinking we were a lot more mature than we were. We went outside to hang out in her dad's Jeep to pretend that we could drive and be goofy. After hanging outside for a while, saying hi to her dad when he came home, talking about boys, giggling about boys and talking about what movie we were going to watch that evening at our sleepover, we decided to head inside to listen to music and go pee. As we were walking inside I saw this shadow moving up the stairs from the basement. My heart started beating SO quickly, I screeched and then my body responded in the worst way possible...I peed in my pants. 

As soon as I realized that happened I screamed again, threw my hand over my mouth and started running up the stairs to the bathroom, yelling the whole way up the stairs "I can't believe I peed my pants! I can't believe I peed my pants!" I hear her dad laughing from downstairs and my friend is standing there in disbelief. 

I couldn't look at her father later that evening and if I did I felt totally mortified over forgetting that he had come home and that he's allowed to walk up the stairs in his own home without being greeted by a 12- year- old girl screaming bloody murder and peeing in her pants. :S

I hope you all have had a wonderful beginning of the week! I hope to write once or twice before we leave for the cottage this weekend. I LOVE the cottage! I'm so super pumped, I love lying in the sun and going canoeing and chatting with wonderful friends and eating delicious food and just hanging out! Hurray for extra long weekends. :) Hope you all have wonderful plans too.

A Letter Reflecting on Unity

  Dear brothers and sisters, I implore us to seek unity with one another, just as John encouraged us to do through his letters to the early church. Let us not be pulled apart by disagreements that lead to hate and division. Can we show the world what it looks like to disagree with love? Can we show what it looks like to have differences but be united because we have something so incredible connecting us that we can’t be pulled apart? We all have this one major, amazing, life changing thing in common, not only with each other in the church but with those outside the church. We are loved by God, who provides and cares for us so deeply. Within the church we recognize the need we have for God, not only for salvation but for true and abiding hope, for unshakable peace and unspeakable joy. We know as a church family that the only reason we can stand before a loving, perfect, Holy God is because Christ stands besides us and reminds God that we have been pardoned because of His sacrifice. ...

Day 6- Passages that have Impacted/Encouraged Me

 I have to try really hard not to begin these posts with "so". Apparently, that is my go to starter word...which is odd but true. I skipped yesterday due to the cold that was taking each member of our house captive one by one. Why is it never all at once? Sometimes this feels it would be easier than this long, drawn out affair we have been experiencing. Our youngest has had a fever for the past two days and while at first she handled it like a champ she, like all of us, only had so much to give before she just decided the whole being sick things sucks and is now over it. Anyway, I skipped yesterday and considered skipping today as well but then I felt like I wasn't really challenging myself then. So this might be another lighter post but the point was for me to write every day not write something groundbreaking every day (or ever!). So, when I looked at my list of things one that stuck out to me was Bible verses that have impacted me. I think that even if you aren't a...

Day 3- Vulnerable Parenting

 This post is being written much later than I would like but it will have to do...I know I'll be able to get it done in time to post and that's really what I'm aiming for. I had been looking through my list of blog topics and having a hard time with one that I felt I connected with and could easily write about in a shorter time frame.  As I looked through the list with my sleeping daughter laying heavily on my arm I realized the one that was probably most appropriate for my day and the one that would challenge me to really be vulnerable and open...and that's vulnerable parenting.  This idea has two pieces to me...how am I a vulnerable parent to my children and how am I a vulnerable about my parenting or my experience parenting with other people.  Today...this week...okay the last three months in particular have been a bit rough in the parenting department. With my eldest back at school my middle one lost his best friend and playmate. That paired with a kid who really...
