7/16/2023 1 Comment End of Camp![]() Rom. 8:1 – There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. What a positive verse! In today’s world there is so much negativity that it’s easy to get discouraged. So to see this verse and realize – hey, rejoice! We’re free. We have been forgiven. Forget the past and look forward to the future! – That’s a verse that we need to remind ourselves of. However, there is a condition to it – now that we’re forgiven, we need to walk after the Spirit. So we can’t just stay in our lazy chair and do nothing, we need to be active and walking in a way that shows the difference Christ has made in our lives. What a challenge! The week at camp went quickly; I have one more day here, then I'll say my goodbyes to the mighty Peace country and head for home. I'd appreciate prayers for safety as I travel, and again for these Canadian fires to stop. We desperately need the air to clear up. It's so easy to take that for granted until you have to live in a constant haze.

The lack of condemnation is really hard to imagine in a world such as we live in. It is the promise of God and he is a god of his word.

What a week! As a teacher on a Hutterite colony for grade 5-12, life is non-stop from 9:00-3:30. This coming Friday is the end of quarter, so report cards will be due. So that always makes one extra busy.
But I had 2 highlights in this week. The first: I came home and stumbled over something on my step. When I picked it up and entered, I found out I was holding MY copy of my book! I felt like a mother receiving her first child. The awe and wonder of holding something I'd created and labored over for - yes, about nine months- well, that is quite the feeling. The second: Last night the doorbell rang. I answered and a man stood there with a floral arrangement. I was sure he'd come to the wrong house, but he had the right name. Imagine my amazement when I saw that friends from the States had arranged these lovely roses to be delivered to celebrate this milestone in my life. In today's Covid restrictions, such a thoughtful, kind gesture means SO much! I never get flowers, so I'm still just smiling over it. |

How many of you make New Year's Resolutions? How many of you don't because you know you won't keep them?
As I look at 2021 and wonder what this year will bring, I've decided to try a couple resolutions.
A poet once said, "It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all." I feel that can be applied to resolutions too. As I start this year as a new author, I'm scrambling to figure out what I'm doing! This has definitely pulled me out of my comfort zone. I've asked the Lord, "What have I done? Am I stepping off this cliff to float or fly?"
So my New Year's Resolution is to have a website and put a blog on it. Will this last? It will be interesting to look back in December 2021 to see what has happened here! Tech stuff is NOT my thing. But as a teacher, I always tell my students, "Just try. You never know what might happen." So how can I do less than I preach? I will try this. No guarantees, but I've made a start! Happy New Year to you all!
