the life of PIE!
really this blog has nothing to do with pie.... and has every thing to do with something just a wonderful if not more... ME... i was going to put the life of Michelle but then decided not to because that just didn't sound as funny as pie.
Well this may be long I'm not sure.. it has been on my heart to blog for a time... i was on the road so it was not really possible...well it was at times but i didn't really want to walk in to some ones house and say HI i'll just be on your computer for like ever! so let the games begin!
I my friends have been on the road for like ever now!.. i just got home (to my parents house) on the 28th, and i am leaving on the 1st, i'm not sure if i have been in one place for longer then 3 days for the past well since i got home from camp!!! So on the 1st Sheri and I are moving in to our new yellow walled,red counter topped basement sweet. don't worry you will see pictures.. we will some how make it beautiful lol.
Sheri and I had a meeting with our youth leaders on Friday and discussed the year that is to come. What came out of it was this, Sheri and I are now the new youth leaders of Lake Cowatchan Baptist Church. Matt and Coral and taking a much needed brake and having some much needed family time. Although they will still be there the youth group is now in Sheri and I's hands. Knowing this my heart doesn't know what to do, I'm scared and excited all at once, parts of me think that I'm not able to do this, and not qualified to do this at all. Both are true, I know i can not do this on my own strength, and God does not call the qualified He qualifies the called. I am still scared but trying not to be. I have no idea what God has in store for this year but i know it is going to be big! please keep that broke town in your prayers, and that Sheri and I would have wisdom and strength. We have our big youth kick off on Friday so keep us in your prayers that night... We do need them!!
On Sunday I got to meet our K6 crew that will be at lake cow for the next year.. the other John lafave (but spelt crazy different) is one of them .. i just find that funny.. that even though jonny you are not with us, some one with our name is. CRAZY!
So the road trip, Well it was so wonderful to get to see every one in there homes or new homes for this year. With every house we stoped at i was blessed in so many ways. First stop Briercrest....Going to Briercrest first and seeing 4 wonderful boys and getting to stay with Nicki was beautiful and re-lit the flame in my heart that has been getting dimmer and dimmer with each passing day. (stop # 2) Being able to spend time with Joel and His family was so wonderful! We went to his cabin in OT. for a few nights ... I love that place, it is so beautiful! (#4) Seeing Stevey K at his camp was sweet! You my friend are some one who bring change where ever you go, you are doing wonderful things there and they are so blessed to have you! (#5) Seeing Frew before he left was wonderful! I'm praying for you Andrew, may God bless you in that place! (#6) Seeing Kelsy's beautiful face was .... Beautiful! we made cookies, and had beautiful conversation late into the night witch lifted my heart. Kels May the spirit of Wisdom and Discernment be upon you. (7&8) The last 2 stops were my sisters seeing them was wonderful! Dayle and Andrew are trying to get there new house together witch is taking a long time, but getting there. Cara and Bob are expecting any day now, I will soon have a niece. She is due on the 6th. Well at Dayle's we got to talk about alot of stuff, about growing up and about my life before kaleo. My family finds if vary hard to talk about things so this is a big step. It was a blessing to grow closer to her.
Ok so you can yell at me if you like .. but thought out this trip we did not take lots of picures... I KNOW I KNOW.. its not like me at all... and it's horrible! but i will post some soon.. because i did take some ... but not a lot.
So my family that is the life of Pie... pie being ME.
I love you and miss you all! My heart longs to see you beautiful faces some times soon! I have a goal for the next few years... That every one of you will sing my year book ... some have already.. but lots have not... and you need to ... But you have to come see me .. or i you to do that. Or i could send it around... But that is not a fun ... / lets just forget i ever said that, thats stupid.. i would rather get to see you.
May God bless you this year and the years to come.
your sister

Meesh! Man I loved reading this...put a big smile on my face. This is a huge year you're heading into and I'm so stoked for you and Sheri...and know that we're all behind you, praying for you guys!! What an awesome blessing you are being to that town and sounds like to Matt and Coral as well!!!! Sounds like some sweet times on the road too!! Take care!
My beeeauuutiifull roomy! how I love thee :o) may I first comment on the fact that your writing was fantabulous in your post? like the content of course but also the sentence structure, etc. haha, kay sorry. I'm glad you finally got to post. And I'm more glad that I got to see you. It was the highlight of Sept. (along with Kurt coming to visit too). You are an amazing woman of God. And I think we should have many more talks into the night! I will pray for you and Sher, especially this friday as I sit at home, alone, doing hmwk, haha. Love you tonnes!
wait a sec, isn't Life of Pie a book...? but without the e, so life of Pi? I think I read it in high school...
Michelle! I want to join in your goal of having everyone sign my yearbook too! I also have a dream of traveling across Canada. But first I need a car... and my license... but one day! You coming down for Road tour this weekend?
Oh wonderful, wonderful Michelle! What a joy and blessing to be given the privilege of taking over the youth. You and Sheri are so obviously anointed to this position which means you have nothing to fear. As God anoints, He equips and remember that even the mistakes you make this year are mistakes that need to happen.
Oh and the first chance I get I would visit you guys in a heartbeat! If I do find myself up there, count on my knocking on your door!
