oh how plans change...

the BIG news!!

In case you haven't been following along:
Since I returned from South Africa in December, I've been working towards getting back there. The original plan was to be back by the end of April . . .

Clearly that hasn't happened.

I talked with Kevin, the minister in SA, and he told me I needed to wait. It seems the timing is off.
So no, I'm not headed to SA anytime soon.

For those of you who blessed me with your financial support - that will remain in a high interest earning savings account - as we're both certain I will get there within the next couple years. He's confident that I'm meant to be there when the church is ready to be opened. The hope is that I will assist with getting a lot of the programs up and running, and of course, work with all the lead worshippers in making some beautiful music!

Those of you who asked for a prayer card to be mailed to you, I will hold on to them until the time is right for you to be reminded to pray for me IN South Africa!! :)


Therefore... MORE BIG news:

I'm headed back out West, for an indeterminate amount of time. I've desired to settle there for some time now, and it seems the Lord sees fit to have me begin that process now. (Yes, you just 'heard' Kristen McMullen use the word settle...)
I'll keep you posted on those details through my blog (and emails if you wish).

For now, I'm packing up Calvin (my car) and heading out of Ontario on Saturday May 16th.

I finally have a cell number again: msg me if you want it!
HOWEVER, the day I arrive in Alberta it will be changed to an Alberta number. So.. maybe don't put it in your contacts lists just yet.
(If you want to call and catch up, after 9pm or the weekend would be best for me! ;)


There it is.
I'm infinitely blessed to have your support and I thank you for sticking with me through all of this.
I'd ask now that you pray for:

- my heart - I'm reeling from the fastest U-turn of my life and there's a lot more change headed my way.
- the details - moving to another province, my summer clothes are all in SA, etc.
- Kevin and the church in SA - that God's hand would remain over that whole process and we would be able to honour Him as we move forward.

Innumerable THANK YOU's to you.. I'm blessed to call you friend.. to call you family.

Get back to me!
Would love to talk!!

much love
many blessings
