Last Days

So, I keep meaning to blog and then I never get around to it and well here it is and it's been ages since I blogged.

It is down to the last little while here at CFOT. We have finished our assignments, seminars and formal training sessions and are down to commissioning rehearsals (very important), doctrine rehearsals (We Believe) and of course the unending packing. The good bye's have even started and that's just crazy. I had my last Sunday at the corps I've been at this year and it was very sad to say good bye to the people who have helped me and guided me along my second year.

At this point there are only 15 or 16 days until we leave for Toronto to begin what will be an amazing weekend I'm sure, but admittedly all I can see is the endless row of boxes :). I am apparently not a motivated packer which could present some problems in future years. However, I will get it all done, inventoried and ready to ship in time. I believe!

Packing Demonstration Leads Down Memory Lane

Who knew that a packing demonstration would get me as excited as it did? Now, it's not really the packing demonstration of course but what it represents. That the classes are done, things are slowly wrapping up and commissioning is right around the corner. I've been doing a lot of reminiscing lately and even during this demonstration I found myself thinking about the past two years and how I came to the point that I am packing.

It has been the most amazing almost two years. Since I arrived here in September of 2009 I have been privileged to participate in ministry all across this country and even outside of it. I've been looking through all my pictures lately and enjoying all the good times that I see in them and laughing over some of the funny stories that I remember surrounding them. I'm actually going to try and scrapbook my two years here as best I can to try and capture some of those amazing experiences.

I'm taking a brief break now from packing away all my things again for the move to Fernie and wondering what new memories I'll form there. Maybe I'll make scrapbooking a hobby and make a big collection for all my appointments...we'll see. In the mean time I better be good and get back to those boxes.

Well, for some reason this post disappeared off my blog so here it is again...not sure what happened there.
