Andy & Amy Getaway

Andy surprised me last week with a two night getaway, just for the two of us. We headed up to Cedar Springs (a Christian Retreat Center) in Sumas, WA. We were only an hour away from home, which was great because we didn't use all of our time travelling. We stayed in a little cabin and enjoyed the beautiful gardens. We had time to sit and read for hours at a time, took an amazing 3-4 mile hike, and just relaxed (I got to sleep in, while Andy was of course up at his usual 5am alarm). :)

It felt like we had an extra busy April with Andy finishing his last Theology class, our Young Life Banquet, me finishing up with Women's Bible Study, Andy preparing and giving a sermon at North Bay Christ the King and just all the other regular activities of life. Our two day getaway was planned perfectly (THANK YOU ANDY) between our busy April and Andy's 3 week trip to Israel in May-June.

In the midst of what seems like a crazy life we have such a peace and assurance this is exactly where God would have us. He continues to provide for all of our needs and fulfills our hearts desires. Praise the Lord!

Dinner out



Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or stand in the way of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Psalm 1:1-3
