Super Heroes

Why is life always so busy?! If you're anything like me, this thought crosses your mind frequently. Even in this seamingly quiet season of my life, with no official job, no schooling, no official responsibilities at the church etc, I find myself busy. Its true that my time is moreso filled with things that I've dreamed of having time for for years, like helping a friend pack up her house to move, having new people from the community over for dinner, being there for a friend when they need someone to talk to....just having time to be available to people. I love that! ButYour results:
still why is it so hard to find a quiet space in my day to sit and "be still"? I've often felt like I need super powers to accomplish all that's on my plate. Like being able to fly from here to there, 'zap' supper into existance in a moments time, or have super hearing and eyesight to see into others hearts and souls and see what they're truly needing me to be or hear as a friend. "If only I were a Super Hero" I think to myself, " then I could accomplish everything that needs to be done". Yet two truths remain:
1- I somehow know with certainty that if I were a super hero, I would just hear more cries for help, and feel more responsibility to achieve greater things.
2- I actually DO have access to super natural powers if I only tap into the power source. How often I forget in the midst of business the power I have access to if only I ask. If only I prioritize my day to tap into God's mighty powers through His spirit, rather than try and survive on my strength alone. 'Cause with His power and strength I can achieve so much more, and hear and discern the cries that I am to attend to.

Mission: to be a super hero through God's stength, not my own, and therein find peace that passes all understanding.

Alright, so these really aren't the best photos of me, but I said that I'd post some shots of my belly as its growing, and its certainly growing! I'm not really sure of the most flattering ways to take these types of photos, but I'm sure I'll learn. The bottom picture is from this Saturday when Ronnie and I popped in at the German Christmas Market, eating our German sausages. Yummy!! Super cute christmas boths with crafts, foods, hot ciders and great christmas decorations. I love the environment and christmas feel! I'll have to post a picture of our tree next.

Back in Jolly Ol' England.

After what seems like two days solid of sleep and laundry, it hit me today that we're indeed back in England (after a brilliant time visiting in Canada-man, we love you all soo much!!!). After the realization that there was absolutely nothing in our fridge this afternoon other than some Ketchup and Soya Sauce (and some other varying condiments) it was apparent that a quick trip to the village centre was inevitable to at least pick up a few staples before the big Tesco grocery shop to replenish our shelves. So I threw on a hoody and a scarf and out the door I went (Notice I didn't say my big winter parka and boots!). As I continued out our front door onto the sidewalk, a friendly smile and wave caught my attention before I could get too far. (Our block of row housing all faces inward towards a park, creating a nice neighborly feel. This also means that you pass all your neighbors front kitchen windows as you pass along the sidewalk, at a much closer proximity than your typical sidewalk. Therefore I always recieve plenty of waves and smiles and visits on my strolls into town.) Anyways, so my lovely neighbor Fran quickly openend her kitchen window to facilitate some nice neighborly british chatter. Of course she had noticed that I had been gone and guessed that I might have returned home for a visit. And since I hadn't had the chance to tell her our exciting news yet, I quickly proceeded to gush out that I was pregnant, as I'm sure only a newly expectant mother does... Hence proceeded from Fran's mouth my realization that I was indeed back in England...but sorry, I can't repeat what she said! No, not because it was foul, course language that a missionary should never repeat, but beacuse I had no idea what 3/4 of the words were!!! Seriously, I know that she was excited for me, and that they were good things that she was saying, but who knows what she actually said?! Jolly well...and bonny were the only ones I caught. She can't wait for me to start looking bonny...or something to that affect. Hopefully I'll look good "bonny"?! Will someone let me know when and if I start looking "bonny" and if I should be doing something about it?!

Come join us!!

If you're not in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, or have never heard of this place before and are wondering if I'm even speaking English, then this probably won't apply to you. However, if you live in Saskatoon or would like to visit, we'd love to see you this Saturday night!!! We're having a desert evening where we'll be sharing a little of what has been happening in Europe, what the future holds, and having fun while we do it. If you're interested in missions or in Europe particularly it will be a great night for you to come out. And if by chance you're just interested in Ronnie and I and want to come see us and chat, we'd still love to see you there, and bring a friend if you like...Hope to see you there!!!!
