Heather Rowe Is Visiting !!!!

Well...my good friend Heather Rowe has been here since Wednesday night and we have been having loads of fun! It's funny how you can not see someone for a long time and then when you see them again it's like you had seen each other yesterday! That's how it felt with Heather...it was like we just picked right back up where we had previously been!

She's been welcomed right back into the life of 614 with me...doing squads, bible study, hanging out with kids that I mentor...it has been great fun!

Today I went and watched some of our kids leaders and kids play sports...and then I decided that I would try when they were playing tackle football. So let's just say that now I am washing grass stains out of my favorite jeans...but I'd say it was worth it...although I did get tackled by a bunch of 10 year old boys ..You'd think I could hold my own!

Now tonight my friend Kathy and I are hosting and "80's pop party" It is going to be so much fun! It all started off as a New Kids On The Block party...but we had to add a bit more of a differnet slant to convice some people to attend! Well...must go...I have to do some shopping for our party tonight! So that's it for now.

Palm Sunday

Today was an amazing day! We had a really great prayer walk during our church service. I was leading a group and when we split into our groups I found myself with about 6 or 7 little girls and 2 adult women. We spent a lot of our prayer walk singing "Dance, dance, everybody dance, everybody sing for joy is in this place, " while the girls danced around Regent and waved the palm branches that they were carrying...it was seriously one of the most beautiful things that I've ever been privileged to be a part of.

It was also really great to pray with the girls as we walked our community and they were answering things such as what causes them to see Jesus in their community...and coming up with such profound answers such as "Kanga..." or "My family..." or "the peace garden". It was just a really humbling experience for me to do the prayer walk with the kids rather than the adults...and I've never had so much fun dancing around the playground singing and worshipping God! It was pretty amazing!

On another note...on Saturday night I decided to drive one of my best friends, Kanga, home to Brampton which is about 45 minutes away from my house...one of my housemates Bethany and I took her home and on the way home my beloved car "smurfette" just died on the highway...I was pushing the gas pedal...but nothing was happening...
So I had to get her towed to my mechanics and come tomorrow morning I will find out what the deal is with her. It was so funny though because Bethany and I were driving Kanga home so that she'd not be on the bus for ages and get home late...and we ended up sitting on the side of the highway for quite awhile...and didn't even end up back at home until 2am...so we found that to be a little bit ironic...don't ya think?!?! (I know...that was a really bad and cheesy joke!)

That's it...for now!
