Catching Up

Folks ~ I've been busy, but can't wait to tell you all about it.

Visiting friends (like Ellen pictured below), 

Internet down, road trips for moose meat for our sled dogs, 

and Amish trips 

have been keeping me busy since I returned from Mackinac Island.  

But before I head out for another day with the Amish, 

***yes, I'm feeling so blessed***

I wanted you to see a farm family, who are friends of mine.

Remember Ang, who is featured in the post below?  

We attended Win-Some Women together last October...

Well, her family appeared on the Anderson Cooper show yesterday.  

We don't have TV, so I was unable to view it.  

But I plan to, once it surfaces online.

However, in the meantime, here's a nice little video about their family:

Matt and Ang, 

and beautiful children 

Abby, Anna, Buddy, Penny, Peter, and Favour 

(who I dubbed "The Special K's").

Check it out HERE.

I'll be back soon, with so many amazing God-filled stories to tell you about.  

I can't wait to reveal how He has been working in our lives, all for His glory!

Until then, God willing.

A Win-Some Adventure

As the sun came up last Wednesday,

I knew it was going to be a special day.

It was going to be a day spent in child-like wonder.

Driving north, boarding a boat and heading to beautiful "horses only" Mackinac Island.

With a beautiful, Godly person, both inside and out. 

Homemaker Ang.

And my "mother-in-love" Sue, who loves the Lord with all her heart.

We saw and heard many beautiful songs and testimonies.

Fernando Ortega, Don Piper, Lauren Winner, Anne Beiler and more...

And reflected on our lives.

The Island will do that to you...

Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.  Isaiah 42:12

The Grand Hotel was the perfect place to do so.

Fellowship of like-minded "win-some" women.

Gourmet meals.

Sue is wearing her Ask Me About Jesus t-shirt, created by my son and his amazing cohorts.

Beautiful views.

Yes, time failed to stand still.

And it was soon time to shove off again and head for the main land.

And carry our memories home.

Back to a simpler, but no less beautiful, place.

For Ang, home is Maple Valley off-grid Farm.

 

Filled with family, hard work, and the love of Jesus.

Led by husband and father, the Gentle Giant.

Until next year...when I return to Win-Some Women again,

for my 13th year.

God willing.
