Team Canada

Over the weekend, we headed to Corolla, NC, for a few days of bonding time with our very own Team Canada! I don't believe I've yet shared any of our future plans, but our goal is to get out to Vancouver, BC, and serve the Lord by working in a church-planting setting. Since we've dreamed of this for years (it's so strange typing that it's been years since our college days), it is so exciting to see how God is leading us along in this adventure. There are days when it seems we will never get there, but those days are getting fewer and fewer. We've watched "what-if's" turn into "somehow's," and now they're turning into "when's" before our eyes. It's so exciting to watch God open and shut doors for his glory as they pertain to our future (some parts of that are more exciting than others). Our team started as four friends and has now morphed into six friends and a few additional tag-a-long's (5 very cute ones, I might add). While we were there, the guys were able to spend lots of time planning, and we girls were able to spend lots of time talking as we cared for the kiddos. We even put up with each other through a nasty bout of flu that threatened to ruin our perfect weekend :) We beat it, though, and even had fun despite the major inconvenience. Yes, the flu inspires bonding at its best! There's nothing like a kick of reality to bring a new dimension to plans for ministry. Ha! SO, now we're home with lots of food for thought, work to do, plans to make and good memories. Here are some pictures of our fun time away. (No, I have no pictures of any major inconveniences...)
