1. The season finale of LOST on Sunday.
2. The church service I went to on Sunday.
3. The way I am feeling lately!
So for those 3 reasons, I wanted to write a little about being LOST!
The season finale of LOST...let me just say, I'm happy this show is over. Now don't take me the wrong way, but I was lost for most of the last several seasons. I dozed off and on of the season finale...but woke up at the very end to see the final scenes (quite possibly the reason I was so lost??). Either way, the message is that the lost had been found!
Now, we were away this weekend to Moncton. While Jacques golfed, Noah & I shopped. We had to do, what we had to do!!! BUT...I don't really care for shopping that much. Though I did get some cute new clothes, I would have preferred being home setting up our pool for the HOT weather! Either way, we had a great weekend but glad to be home. While in Moncton, we went to the Wesleyan Church for the Sunday morning service....can we say WOW! The service brought me to tears (literally) and the sermon was all about the LOST. The parable of the lost sheep, coin & son (Luke 15). The message was that the sheep, coin and son were lost in different ways but when they were found there was rejoicing. The message is that Jesus wants us to be found and if we ARE found then we are to find the lost. WOW...powerful.
It's hard to believe that the Wesleyan (as we knew it) is the same church we were married in 10 years ago (on July 1). NOW, they have added several additions and it's HUGE! It doesn't even resemble the place we were married in!!
Noah &; I had a great time at a different service with a whole band playing music, the big screens and the little skit.
So #3, with my trip to Haiti being cancelled I've been feeling a little lost lately. I keep wondering if maybe a mission trip is not in my near future, possibly I should direct my focus and energy elsewhere.
Just last week, we met missionaries from Kenya who (get this) just started a jewelry ministry. They have a group of 10 women making pottery beads and necklaces. I bought 3 of these absolutely beautiful necklaces and started to buy a whole bunch of beads to make necklaces to sell. When they realized we were going to make necklaces to sell on their behalf, they just GAVE me a bunch of beads for free. So NOW, we are selling earrings for Haiti and necklaces for Kenya. They also offered us to come and visit them in Kenya...WOW! I would LOVE that, Africa is one of the places I'd love to travel to. That said, it's a VERY expensive trip that I really don't foresee happening anytime in the next few years. So I will wait....
The day we met the Kenny's from Kenyay, Noah & I got to spend the afternoon with their son. He came out for supper with Noah & I and played with Noah around the house before we went to our 'bible study' where the Kenny's gave their presentation. It was fun and Tristan was SO well mannered and polite! What a privilege to spend some time with him.
This post is a couple of weeks old now...and I'm just getting around to posting (shame on me)!
Life since then seems to have taken some shape...looking forward to many changes coming in our family. Keep posted!

I think there are times in our lives when we're 'supposed' to feel lost. It helps us re-discover ourselves and push us possibly in new directions. Just try to listen to that still small voice to see where He wants you to go :)
Be encouraged!!!!
Sometimes God uses us in ways WE don't plan but still fit into HIS will. For example, your jewellry has been a missions outreach in itself, even without the actual trip. Be encouraged, you are allowing yourself to be used by God, and that is always the right path to being found in the place where you belong.
