Song for Sunday: I Will Cast My Cares

Jesus, I’m frail,
I’m so very weak.
My faithfulness fails,
My courage will flee.
But You are my rock,
My shelter and shade.
When I’m burdened down,
You’ll carry the weight.
 
So I will cast my cares on You.
Yes, I will cast my cares on You.
I will rest within Your ars,
Knowing I am safe from harm.
I will cast my cares on You.
 
When I’m overwhelmed
And I cannot stand,
You hear every cry
And You lift my head.
I’m desperate for grace
And mercy anew
I must have Your strength,
Oh, I must have You.
 
~ Stephen Altrogge 

I’m Back!

Not that I was actually gone but after a summer of alternate scheduling it’s good to be getting back into routine.  Much has happened since last I was on here.
 
-I’ve been accepted as a missionary with Canadian Sunday School Mission.
-Two weeks of camp (ages 8-12 and ages 13+) and all the prep before hand.
-A family reunion with close to 90 cousins, aunts and uncles.
-Two weeks of neice and nephew time.
-My brother moved to BC to live and work with my sister and her family.
-Eight day canoe trip in the rugged beauty of North-Western Ontario.
-Weekend CSSM Camp Board Meeting/Retreat.
-Weekend visit with good friend Megaan.
-Started ISCF at the high school.
-Started youth.  
 
All in all it’s been a whirlwind of a summer but filled with many blessings.  I’m so thankful for the relationships that were created and/or deepened, for the laughs, the deep talks, the reminiscing.  I’m also so grateful to God for the energy He has given to carry me through, the creativity and ideas especially with preparing for camp and the doors He has opened for continued ministry in the area.
 
Looking ahead I’m also excited to see what all will be happening this year. The people He will bring into my life, the opportunities He will place in front of me, the challenges He will carry me through, the rough edges He will sand away.
