First of all I want to say how sad it made me to hear of Todd Bentley's separation from his wife Shonna...here is what Patricia King has to say about it all and I totally agree with her!

And we are now 10 weeks and 2 days pregnant!  Very exciting!  I've been reading lots and researching lots about UP/UC and have yet to decide if I should find a dr. or not...because I have diabetes, I'm tempted to get a bit of prenatal care to see if there is anything new in the diabetic arena...but if there's nothing new I will just continue on my own. 

We were going to start homeschooling Sept 2nd but instead will spend the week helping a new friend pack up and move away...sigh.  It sucks when you find a wonderful friend just in time to help them move! hehe  However, email is a wonderful thing and I look forward to an ongoing friendship with her!  Soooo, we will start school on the 8th instead!  Maybe I'll even be ready by then! hehe  I've so been enjoying summer and time off...and I'm so glad morning sickness is going away already and my energy levels are picking up some. woo hoo!  I was wondering how we were going to get started homeschooling in the first place! lol  I have such admiration for moms of many!

On a sad note, 2 friends of mine, one I just met, both homeschoolers, have had miscarriages this week.  One just had her 5th miscarriage and is done with the heartache of it all, and is making plans to adopt in China!  The other just had her 4th miscarriage and has one adopted Chinese daughter and is in the process of adopting again in China.  My heart aches for both these women, and I also saw how the enemy was trying to use these women's tragedies to create fear in me.  How subtle he is!  I prayed over my baby and my body and commanded it to stay in alignment with God's word and not the words of doubt planted by the enemy. God is so good!  and yet, why?...why are my friends going through this pain?  I don't understand Him at all sometimes...

On a happier note, the man who taught my husband and I in Bible College and led our mission trip and then later married us, has invited us to be a part of his church plant!  At first we were very hesitant, because we just left the traditional church, and I explained this to him, and he said that he wasn't looking for church members, but simply mission minded people who want to share Christ's love! We meet on Sept 9th and I'm so excited to hear their vision!  It may or may not be a match for us, but it will be great to connect with him again!!

Our Faith in Action group (our housechurch) has been bonding over the summer and learning one another's strengths and now we are looking to the Lord to lead us into serving our community!  Unfortunately, Calgary is a large city and it's kinda hard to figure out where to start!! LOL   But we're gearing up to start Christmas baking etc.  I'm thinking we need a bigger deep freeze...

We had a single mom living with us for a couple of months!  What a blessing it was for me to have another woman in the home!  She added an interesting element to our household, that will be missed, but I'm sure her son is happy to have her back!  He's a darling 2 yr old who was staying at his grandparents while his mom looked for work and a good dayhome in the city...but Calgary is an expensive city and she found it to be way to hard to try to save money and make ends meets.  God bless her as she seeks Him and allows Him to guide her life!

I still wonder if we will be moving at the end of January...I can not picture for the life of me another baby in this house...I always picture a large monstrosity...sigh...I'm not overly fond of larger houses...but wonder if we are meant to live in a larger house so we can share it with those who need it!?!  Guide us Lord!  We are your willing servants!
