Revival Week in Grimshaw

I only have a few short minutes to post something but I thought I better do it now before the week gets away from me. The weather this weekend was gorgeous which was excellent since the church completed 51 km of highway clean up on Saturday. I didn’t have to work so I volunteered my time and ended up having  a really good time. Who knew picking up garbage could be such a great way to spend a Saturday?

Rebecca, Wanita and I - together we made a great garbage picking team

I’ve also obtained two power walk/running partners! Two of the women I met at church also live in town and were looking for the motivation to start walking. Enter Krisitin. We’ve only gone twice (Friday and today, but to be fair Saturday we did walk many kilometres picking up garbage!) but I can see a great routine starting and the pounds just shedding.

This morning I also got up super early to go and pray at the church. There is prayer every Monday morning at 6 a.m. and Wanita asked if I wanted to pray and then walk. I thought this might be an excellent way to start the week, and so far I think I might have been right. I have to run off to Peace River now to go and do court reporting and later tonight Revival Week starts at the church. There is going to be a church service every night of the week at 7 p.m. and I couldn’t be more excited. I feel God inside of me almost every week on Sunday and know that He is going to be present at the church this week too.

Some family have been concerned that if they call me on my cell they will be using my time and costing me lots of money. It’s not true 🙂 I have unlimited national calling, so I suppose I could call all of you too. Anyways, feel free to call me family – it doesn’t cost me a thing!

Oh! And I cut my hair off – much more successfully this time for those of you who remember the last time my hair was really short. It’s not long enough for a pony tail but it’s going to be great as the weather gets warmer.

Some of the 40 or so volunteers that came out to help on Saturday.
