Out of the boat

Sitting at home messing around with geotagging of posts on different apps.

Check out all the trees surrounding our driveway here in Salmon Arm.

EDIT: geotagging isn’t working… guessing it’s my theme. I’ll have to check it out.

Well, what has been on our hearts for a number of years is finally a reality. We’re moving out of the Lower Mainland and into a small town.

Our house in Surrey has sold and we have purchased a home on a treed 5 acres in Salmon Arm, the largest town in the Shuswap.

I will continue to work for http://www.thewellspringfoundation.com and am so thankful for that!

My role will pretty much stay the same as the Communications Manager, with one addition: I will start to make new connections and nurture existing one in the Okanagan/Shuswap.

We are really excited to start the next chapter in our lives.

Matty is officially a BIG boy! I took his training wheels off on Sunday night. Check out his smile.

Finally found a template I liked, did a few tweaks and decided to rename the blog at the same time. Why well… I’ve realized in the last few months of doing this that:

1. blogging is time consuming
2. it causes you to think a lot
3. I want it to be more than just about work and fundraising and philanthropy
4. I want this to be personal and all encompassing

That said, I was really struggling to find a name or title that reflected what I was wanting to do with this whole blogging thing. I wanted a name that reflected my walk with Christ and motivated me to live my life surrendered to Him – so I don’t sink back into familiar safe places and try to do ‘it’ on my own, or with my own knowledge, skill and strength.

Out of the boat – stretching, being challenged, growing, out of my comfort zone, trying to follow Jesus wherever he leads, relying on Him
