Good weather, LOTS of fun, Great friends!!

This has been a great week of work, friends and fun.  I am not sure if many of you know this but I took a maternity leave position at the school until December.  Rachel has been going to Kindergarten and so far we all love going to work together!!  This week has had many ups and a few downs but we are thankful to serve a God who loves us and listens to our prayers.
Blessings,
Kylie, Jocelyn and Rachel

"I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me, so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting men may know there is none besides me. I am the LORD, and there is no other."

Isaiah 45:5-6

I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me -- the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

Matthew 7:24-27
