Though we live and work in Europe, we’re still Canadian and Canada is close to our hearts. Sometimes we have a thought about Canada; sometime we’re even in Canada.
One week ago today was our farewell Sunday at Mozaika. Amber delivered a power solo and Matthew got to speak. We were so thoroughly encouraged by the show of support and appreciation in the form of gifts, prayer and kind words. It was affirming and life giving…and tearful. We’ve been in Canada just less than… Read More Hello Canada
It has been an intense few weeks and we’ll share further about them shortly, but for now, we just wanted you to know that we are safely back in Canada.
2010 – sounds quite futuristic and yet here we are. December was a blogless month for us – sorry about that – but still a full one. There were some great personal highlights for us as we were able to spend time with some of Amber’s cousins as they visited a nearby part of Europe,… Read More The End of a Decade
Today, Matthew’s sisters will graduate from college. They have worked hard, contributed to student and community life and had fun while doing it. We honestly could not be more proud.
