Didn't mean to disappear...




















Hey everyone!

Sorry if it seemed like I disappeared for a bit...my ability to use the internet has been a bit sporadic the past few weeks...

Anyway, it has been so good to read through your blogs and hear what you have been up to! I just spent an incredible morning playing hard for about an hour and a half with Brady (7 month old) and then he fell asleep on me as I sat on the couch. I wish I had a picture...soooo cute!!!

So I just spent the last couple weeks driving across Canada...okay part way across Canada as we decided to end in Saskatchewan and leave Nicki's car at Briercrest. My apologies to all of you in Manitoba and Ontario; I was hoping to see you guys and catch up a bit in person, but the Lord had different plans for our trip. It took us about a week to get to Alberta...can you imagine?? We had such a blast taking our time and praising the Lord through the mountains and visiting with people along the way. God directed our trip so well and placed us at just the right place at the right time more times than we could count. I wish I could share all the stories, but that would take some time! I decided to leave you with a video that should give you a wonderful glimpse into our trip.

I am beginning to dream again as my heart continues to be restored by our Father. As I think about the past few years and the places and people I have met, I am overjoyed at the opportunity God has placed in my lap. I pray you all will receive the same joy as the Father continues to guide you along the path that He has designed for you. May you find peace as He has the future in His hands. What better place to be than resting in the knowledge that your Father in Heaven, ruler of the nations, has a plan for you and requires only that you listen for His leading. Hope the pictures make you smile!!!

Oh and I may not be on facebook...but I certainly love email! So don't be shy!

Much love,
Amanda

That Video reminds me of me and Steve (and Kelsey)! But instead of singing, we're listening to Odyssey or smacking the roof. But there definetely is a pile of crap in the back.

Seattle right now...planned to go to Idaho today actually but Carson (3 yr. old) gave me a sad face when I started to pack and Brady (7 months) asked me to stay for a couple more days...who could argue with that?
