| Not lasts - but FIRSTS! |
| Sooo... this week (today I officially left) was a week of saying good-bye to a place that has become so very dear to my heart: that of Hepburn, Saskatchewan. Many out there would scoff that I would come to love a place in SASKATCHEWAN of all places; but I can't even explain it - my heart feels at home there. However; I have made the conscious decision in my 5 hour drive from S'toon to Edmonton that I will NOT look back on these weeks as those filled with "lasts," but I will instead look forward to a time of "firsts." While I am sad to say good-bye to those I have come to love and cherish, I am equally (if not more) excited to be able to say hello to those people that I will come to know and cherish... God has gifted and equipped me for this good work, and I am ready to grab hold of the promise that He is with me and able to do all things and go. Thank you to all who have been in my life these last few years; be excited with me as God gets ready to do even more in and through me! |

| Two Weeks to Take Off |
| So. Today marks a couple different count-downs. Firstly; 5 more days of work at Bethany. Secondly; Exactly 2 weeks or 14 days to take off. Of the former; I'm alright with that - it's kind of strange that my 10 months here is done already, I feel like just yesterday that I started... like Michelle J should be extension 246 on my phone - ready and available to slack off with for "5 minutes" here and there... Alas, she is not. Of the latter; I feel weird about the whole 'going to Colombia' thing. I've talked about it for so long, that now that the time is here I feel like I've already been there. Weird weird weird. I know that given a few days I'll probably be so stoked to go that my family will want to be rid of me, but for now; I'm almost regretting the good-byes before they've happened. I am not one to love change a whole lot; so pray for me in this next while - God has called me, I will go - Life Is Beautiful. |

| Quote of the Week |
The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.
