disappearance and new beginnings

I know that it has been a long time since I have written here. It's not for lack of desire, or time, or material. I've had something rather large that seems to have been consuming a lot of my thought time and for several reasons, I am unable to write about it here at this time. Soon perhaps, just not yet. So, if you have been checking my blog and wondering if perhaps I've quit, don't fear... soon I shall return to writing more regularly.
The new year has brought with it many exciting opportunities. I was reflecting on my job as the coordinator of women's ministry the other day, and found myself excited about upcoming projects. In March, I will be facilitating a retreat for women's ministry leaders in Ontario, in April there will be another SisterServe conference where women will serve the community of Welland together in a one-day blitz, and throughout that time a new resource that I've been developing will continue to be tested in churches across Canada. And so the year begins...
Thankfully, for me the new year has also brought greater health. This three weeks of coughing is finally beginning to draw to a close. Unfortunately, Ken and I still must sleep in separate rooms because he has contracted this nasty bug too. Hopefully in the next few days Ken will also feel better and he also will have restored health.
At church, there have been new opportunities for ministry. New relationships are established and growing, new Bible studies are beginning, and a new elder and deacon will be ordained tomorrow.
God is at work in this new year, may I (and you) continue to see Him around us.
