i'm back...and moving west

to all of my faithful readers (yes, all 3 of you...), my apologies for how late this post is in coming. please forgive me.
so, what's new with me? um...nothing much except that I'M MOVING TO VANCOUVER NEXT WEEK!!! yeah, crazy, eh? Vancouver (also affectionately called "Hongkouver," because of the approximately 52% -well, at least more than half- of Asian people that populate the city), British Columbia will be my new place of residence for the next two years. as of Tuesday, January 23, 2007, i will be working with the Youth With a Mission Vancouver base as a member of their Discipleship Training School staff!
i am pretty excited to be moving back to the west coast at this point in my life. i truly enjoy the people at the YWAM base and am really looking forward to serving them and with them in the Commercial Drive community. (however, i will REALLY miss the girls who were with me in this fine city last year, as you can see in the picture at the bottom)
my first week will involve some moving in and getting settled and training and hanging out with a good friend before she leaves for home in AB, where she is getting married soon. then i'll be heading off to the Vancouver Missions Fest where we will be spreading the news about the greatness of our God and subsequently, YWAM.
after the weekend, a bunch of us are heading out for a YWAM promo road tour. i know that we are hitting up the Winnipeg Missions Fest, and i'm sure some other fests and maybe churches along the way in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
but that's about all i know for now, amongst some possibilities for the summer and fall. please continue to pray with and for me as i head westward. as there is some uncertainty pertaining to tasks and living situations, pray that i will find peace in God and trust in Him and His direction.
well, readers, please stay tuned here for updates and pictures. i know that this will be an intersting time in my life, to say the least, and it is comforting to know that there are people who care about what this all entails. even if there are only 3 of you...
love you and thanks for reading...

Hey Rebecca,

I took a break here at work and perused your blog. I was taken aback. You've done a lot of processing and it's good to see how God's been working in your heart and mind. It's a thing of beauty. I especially appreciated the blog about staying in Shubie for awhile. Sometime God is moving the chess pieces around and we have to set still for a bit while he's working on us and others. Tough to do. Keep in there girl, God bless your service for Him. I think what you're doing is fantastic.
