What a Holy time tonight!

It was so good to gather together, and just learn more about God and His word. We discussed five portraits of peace featuring Jesus, and learned we can have peace in ALONENESS, peace in PROVISION, peace in STORMS, peace in WAITING and in TEARS, even peace in the face of DEATH.
So good to have the support of a beautiful group of women to pray with during storms and times of waiting and tears.
Hope everyone has a great week.

Onya, (May the joy of the Lord be upon you (onya))

Hoping to Share News with my Best Buddies

Hi there, all you sistahs,

I'm hoping to use this blog as a place to share stuff: talk about the Bible Study, public prayer concerns, fun stuff that God makes happen, updates about church or weddings or stuff like that.
Everyone is welcome to comment.
Tuesday nights are so great. Can't wait to see everyone tonight at the Cafe.

Lots has happened since the last post!

Wowee! I can't believe I haven't added to this blog since Nov. of 2008. Since then, my divorce from Arunas came through (July, 2009). Then, amazingly, since I was determined to remain single, God through his Spirit brought an epiphany experience in my life, and I was so surprised to learn that he wanted me to experience a new marriage.
So, yes, this July, the 31st to be exact Peter Giokas and I will be married. And thus, my new life will start as the wife of a Baptist minister. Much more to share, but that is the beginning for now.

My son Justin

That's Justin on the left, ready for the Reach for the
Top tournament 2 weeks ago. His school, Westdale,
won all of their games


Such a popular boy, that Justin!

My youngest son, Justin, is 17 and in Grade 12 at Westdale High School, where he is the Student Council Vice President second year in a row. He hopes to go to University of Toronto next year. He is interested in English, Law, and that kind of stuff.
Justin is a great guitar player, and regularly plays with the Worship team at our church. He also strums on the ole banjo. Not too bad on the electric guitar either.
Its hard to believe that my boys are growing up soo fast!

My Study and Living Room

This is one corner of my study, which is waiting
for the desk, so kindly donated by Canadian Martyrs
School. A former principal's desk, he was a man who
truly loved kids, so I am honored to get it.



My living room, still in a state of disarray as
I am still putting things in one place, then changing

my mind.

Amazingly, I was able to pick out the sofa, love
seat and chair, along with the fabric in half an
hour at Bad Boy for their opening sale. The colour
matches the walls perfectly.


It is a working fireplace, yet have not used it
yet.

I have already enjoyed many wonderful visits
in this room with close friends, and am hoping
for many more. This house had a full blessing
from my home group, and I am definitely ex-
periencing God's goodness here!
