 It feels good to have a car that we can call our own. We just recently bought a used 98 Corolla and so far so good. She drives pretty smoothly! This Easter was one of those ‘cute little family Easters’ that you miss when you’re away from home. Our niece Malone had her first birthday and we celebrated with a party on Easter Sunday, and then Josh’s mom hosted an Easter dinner on Monday. I know that this is far off from what Easter is about but I have to say that I really do like seeing all of the bunny stuff in the stores though it makes me miss my fuzzy little friends at the Double H Happy barn.

I’ve been making an effort lately to try and slow down and learn to relax. I’ve been very much the kind of person who feels a great sense of worth from what I do, and I feel terrible inside when I don’t feel like I’m doing enough. This year I feel like God has been speaking to me about learning to rest and to feel valued because I’m His child and He loves me, not because of things that I do. I’ve felt the tender longing to just sit and cherish His presence, and get in touch with the things I enjoy doing. I’ve received a few house plants and I’m surprised by how much I really like them and enjoy taking care of them. Though I was at the library reading a book on houseplants and was nodding off between every page turn, so I’m not sure what that says about my interest level!

My job at Subway is continuing to go well and weirdly enough, I think its fun to make the sandwiches and I like making the ‘hinge cut’ on the breads. Also, there’s something kind of cozy, homey and ‘under doggish’ about this Subway since it’s in a small, quiet town-but I like that!

It’s also looking like we’re going to have some good times coming up at a nursing home in Charlottetown. Please pray for us that we’d just simply allow God to do whatever He wants with us!
