Highlights from the Homestead

This post is going to be photo heavy and Canada focused, because being back up north for a few weeks was most definitely this month’s highlight!
The trip – which was miraculously paid for! (THANK YOU JESUS) – started off with me running into my parent’s backyard on a beautifully warm, summer evening to my Mom & Dad’s absolute shock!  Thaaaat’s right!  I planned to completely surprise them, and pulled it off with some of my siblings’ help!  They had no idea I was coming, it was extremely fun!

God’s timing was ALL OVER this trip!  The first Sunday I was back happened to be the day HCF prayed blessing over my bro, Kev, who was about to move out West and attend the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry!
.

It was also the service where my good friends Danny & Missy were dedicating their precious daughter!  The sweet part is, I happened to be in Canada in January for Klair’s birth, and was able to visit her in the hospital at the time.  How crazy that the next time I “happened” to be in town was at the same time as her dedication!  I love this family, and am hardcore cheering them on!

I also witnessed Klair’s first swim!

Okay, THIS is something I was extremely joyous about:

THE COTTAGE!

This is a place my family (immediate & extended) has gone to annually for as long as I remember.  It is a beautiful get away to a lake on a private beach with barely enough cottage space to fit the massive number of people that is my wonderful family.  It “just so happened” to be happening within the time I was home (very special since I haven’t been able to go for the past 2 years!).  Honestly, this vacation was very refreshing and relaxing – despising having gotten rather sick the first full day and needing to use some of my time to nap and recover.  I still got in star-gazing, boat rides, morning devos on the paddle board, volleyball, campfires, photoshoots and writing sessions with Angela!

I keep telling people that my visit home was such a:

sweet time!

I had just the right amount of time, with the right people!  There was a couple of close family members that I prayed I’d be able to have quality time and conversation with, and I did!  Sleepovers at the Lincoln’s and Hazelton’s, and a visit to the Cornwall Brinks at a beach I hadn’t been to in ages was so satisfying!  To top it all off, I had some one on one time with my Mom after saying farewell to my brother who moved to California while I was visiting – again, talk about timing!

All in all, I’m SUPER BLESSED!
