It's been a while

I'm sorry, I apologise for being lazy, and not bothering to keep this up to date.

Anyways, we are busy packing ready to move, and also with christmas preparations for here in Saskatoon, as well as Teesside...very exciting!

Winter this year has been surprisingly nice compared with what I remember of last year, it still hasn't been down to -20, but I can see ice floating down the river from where I sit. And there has barely been any snow yet, but I am under no illusion that we won't get any, it'll come...soon.

I would still appreciate prayer concerning the YFC job, I really would love to do this job, but would like to feel Gods approval....I'll keep you posted.

Another stunner by Allison 

Northern Lights

I finally saw them. I was singing away to "Light of the World' and thinking about how amazing that God made the stars, when I saw them!!!! I love how God makes stuff just because it is beautiful. Isn't he AWESOME! I am super excited right now, I just love the world God has blessed us with, it is truly beautiful. It blows me away that God made everything, and knows each little part intimately, and truly loves all of it. And above all treasures us...I love Jesus...how beautiful.

Prayer request

I would really like it if you all would pray for me, as I may have an oppotunity to work for Youth For Christ. If I did the job would mainly be admin in the office, organising meetings for the Director and helping to organise events. I had a meeting with him last week, and it was fairly positive. As it is a non profit charity, it would mean fund raising my salary, which would be definately challenging. So please could you pray for wisdom for the Director (Gil Klassen), that he would know the right decision to make, and for me if I have to fund raise, that I would trust God to provide for our needs. THANK YOU (in advance)

Blogs

I changed my template (as you can tell), and stupidly forgot that I would lose my links, so let me know your blog address's so I can re do my links...cheers!

Linds playing XBox (again!!!) 

24/7 prayer

Our church started it's 24/7 prayer week last night. It's really exciting, I love knowing that christians all over the world are praying without ceasing ....it is encouraging and inspiring. We are encouraging the Snr High youth group to go in shifts and pray all night, so let us know if you have any prayer requests, we would be more than happy to pray for you!

On a completely different note, Lindsay got his Christmas present early. I bought him an X Box, and he is definately pleased with it. We took it over to Wes and Dianes on Saturday afternoon, so they played all afternoon, then we went over to Allison and Ryans where, surprise surprise, they played more XBox. Anyways, he's happy, so I'm happy.

Date night

We actually had a proper date night last night, I wore a dress (!!!), and we went to a nice restaurant called The Keg. It specialises in steak, so you know that I had no choice but to have steak. It was great, I loved the food (Chris you were SO right about the garlic mash...hmmm). So good food, good wine, good company, super! So thank you to L's parents who gave us gift vouchers for the Keg, it would not have been possible otherwise, it is a little expensive.

Congratulations Grandpa and Grandma Unger on 60 years of marriage! 

Nice mask Jana 

Busy days

We seem to be going non stop right now, but I think we're beginning to catch up with ourselves now.

We celebrated Grandpa and Grandma Ungers 60th wedding anniversary on Sunday and had a program consisting of different people telling stories about Grandma & Grandpa, the grandchildren (including us) singing the doxology and 'Here I am to worship', the children singing some hymns, and then 'faspa' or afternoon tea I guess we (the english) would say, so bread buns, sandwich meat, cheese. It was really nice, especially seeing family who live further away.

Unfortunately I had to leave as soon as we had finished eating to go to the Pumpkin Smash, which is organised by YFC and supporting churches. They use the local indoor football centre, which has 4 pitches. We used 3 of those pitches/halls for the pumpkin smash. We had a worship hall, and 2 fun halls. There was a battle of the bands, a huge jousting tower (like off Gladiators), go carts, dance mat competitions, huge inflatables, car smash (taking a sledge hammer to a knackered old car), and pumpkin smash (sledgehammer again).

The whole eveing was really fun. Dan King & Tim Redekopp DJ'ed during worship, there was a word station, art station, all to be utilised during the worship, it was awesome!
