so that was a nice long break from blogging. okay, so only about 10 days. but it felt long. yay winter! i love christmas, but what i love almost as much is the fact that even though christmas is over and it wasn't quite white, there's still 3 months of winter to go! more hockey, more skating.....ah, the anticipation....
tonight the plan is hockey at winkler bible camp, at seven. i have to call the camp to confirm free ice, however. if that doesn't work out, it'll probably be at 5 at schanzenfeld instead. and my phone line works, so i can actually call people!
i've so enjoyed being able to visit different churches over the last year. i've learned a lot. about people's differences, how we learn, different hearts, and how God speaks to us. i love my church! i love where it's going. i think we are building up to something radical and i want to be a part of it! so much potential!! and i've spent too much of my time criticizing lost potential instead of focussing on the potential there is and encouraging it by becoming an active part of it! so i love my church and i will continue to pour into it as God tells me to!
have a great day everyone, enjoy the weather! oh, and could you pray for my friends sugi & elva? when i last heard from them, they were in indonesia, and i don't know if they had gone back to taiwan by the time these tsunamis hit. pray they'll be alright and if they aren't there, that sugi's family will be safe and protected and able to shine a light of Christ's hope in this tragedy. also, i don't know if cambodia was affected, it's near thailand, and thailand was hit bad, so pray for janelle suderman. if i'm right, she's on her outreach in cambodia. pray for her parents too! pretty much, keep praying!
Lord, may your hand be made visible in all this disaster and protect those we know and love, and others as well. let your light be a hope and comfort, and your truth a strength. we know this hurts your heart as well, so strengthen us to pray for those who are left and do not know you. make us radical for your and your power and truth! blessed be your name!

hey Marce! I've missed your blogging! Good to have you back! Ya hockey! I know how happy it makes you! I can't wait to see you on Monday! Hope your trip home (to our home) is safe and pleasant! Lord, I stand in agreement with Marcia's prayer - would Your grace and love shine through the darkness. Be with everyone who's lost someone...Lord, would you be the one they turn to for comfort because you're the one who comforts the best! God, I pray that you will keep everyone safe and that you will begin your work of healing and bring it to completion! Amen! See you soon!!
