Snowing in Nanaimo



Well Kristin and I have started a few long journeys here in Nanaimo. The first being decorating for Christmas... I seem to think each year that it will only take a few hours and then 4 days later when our house is still in shambles i'm reminded that no project for Kristin and I takes a few hours. Especially when you live with Martha Stewarts protege.

The Second is Christmas shopping... my favorite... shopping... ok not really but Kristin sure loves shopping. She just got back from her shopping trip in Minnesota, oh yeah and I think she saw her parents in between shopping trips, but I can't complain because I am always more stylin when Kristin comes home. Kristin had a great time going back to MN with her friends and family.. little did she know she would be coming home to -5 weather and a foot of snow. I love it!!!

The third is the longest and most exciting journey. I am now Pastor Jamie... yup thats right im a Pastor now. It is so amazing to see the hand of God work in our lives. God has been so patient with me. I feel that he has been preparing me for a long time specifically to this job. Its funny how people in the church still see me as the immature teenager, and maybe some of that is still there but God has brought me a long way in so many ways. i only hope that I can be faithful to the journey that God has set me on. Thank you to all my family and friends for helping me along and shaping me into the man that I am today... you have all had a profound effect on my journey to this day....

Life is full of journeys that are always going on.... may the journey that God is taking you on bless you as he has blessed Kristin and I

Grace and Peace,
Jamie & Kristin
