SOLD!!

YEP! You read that right!! SOLD!!!

HOW AMAZING IS OUR GOD!!! (no question just a full out LOUD PRAISE and HALLELUJAH!! Great are you Lord!!

Our land is sold and in such a time that our heads are still reeling from the faithfulness of God! 





A quick break down of the whole land God story:

~ for a few weeks (possibly months)we decide to list the land after prayerfully time reflecting, waiting and listening
~ Tuesday,  we go to town to speak to real estate agent about listing
~ Thursday, she comes out and we finalize paper work and take photos of land
~ Saturday/Sunday, she comes out and puts up FOR SALE signs
~ Monday, a call with news of interested people with offers
~ Tuesday, comes out with THREE offers - we accept one 
~ as offer sits 'pending' 10 people inquire about land
~ following Tuesday sale is FINAL!!

It was all such an amazing (I know I've used the word already but WOW!) journey! 

Now we will pray about where He wants us to use this money and how we are to use it (once all the "official farm stuff" is out of the way). 

So continued pray  in this area would be wonderful - and that we BOTH hear the same thing from Him. (A side note on this was that we had the sale final on the day before our 26th wedding anniversary! So a double reason to celebrate His faithfulness!)


So yes, we are now working on 27years of marriage and I know I could NOT imagine the travels we have been on in those years. If you were to have told us that we would sell land to working on going to do mission work (even a year ago) we would have thought you were crazy! But here we are! 

Home Sweet Home for 2 nights! 
Dennis and I took time away (as we usually try to do each year around the time of our anniversary) to spend it with each other, reminiscing, looking forward to another year - either hiking, camping or doing something out in Gods creation. Rest and recovery is what we call it in our farming practice and we do the same with our marriage! This year we took 2 nights and stayed in  an Otentik at Lake Audy (in Riding Mountain National Park) and this year we did something different - we took only our bibles and a couple of study books we are each reading and a relaxing read and my camera -no canoe, no kayak, no hikes ... just us and God. That time was spent reading, talking, praying and enjoying the majestic wonder that our Father created! It was beautifully scenic with the lake, flowers, grasses, webs, birds and best of all NO CELL OR INTERNET service!!!

We found that even though we were both reading different books with different authors, different writing styles, He was speaking to us about the same things! It was fascinating to we talking about what we were read and be able to respond with a similar  view but from a different perspective on quite a few topics over the few days! we were able to take this time to also speak about our own journey and what we see and hope to see coming in our future. Overall it was a fantastic time away and oh the growth we see and experience as a couple as we talk, dream and share! God is so 

As we were packing up to come home,  our phones beeped and we both received our "daily text from God" - which is what we call the daily verse from the YOU Verse app:















We always find that the daily verse is exactly what we need when we receive it and that Friday morning did not fail us! (can I get an AMEN!?) How awesome is this!?! Does anyone else find this!?

Thank you again for being a part of or prayer team! We feel your prayers and are so excited to share more of our journey as we go! And again, if you haven't signed up for emails, please check out the top left corner and subscribe to the email to get updates!! (you will be sent a link almost immediately to click on to verify and then your set!) 

Thank you (we can't seem to say that enough and doesn't seem to be enough!)!!! I have some of my favourite photos below from our time away! Please stop to scroll through to enjoy!





Enjoying the evening with a fire, loon calls and each other!
Baby birds that were living under the roof!
Our books we have been reading and studying...
like I said different but so much the same!









Unmatched true beauty
that is found in simplicity!
Beauty is found everywhere!
Even in a "single" flower!
