Mother's Day Project

Every year the weekend before Mother's Day I try and get a shot of each of us siblings to "change" mom's wall in her dining room - it's something I started about 5 years ago...
it has become something she has really looks forward to!
(this is not my picture)
Chris & Jenelle
These two very special people have moved to Swaziland - a very small, landlocked country within Africa, and very close to South Africa. They had been there since October 2014, but were able to make it back for a little over a week during Aaron &  Hannah's Wedding!
It was so nice to see them again, but it was such a busy time that we really didn't get much time together.
They are loving married life and are happy to be serving God in this capacity!
Can't wait to visit them over Christmas!
 Aaron & Hannah
These two got married July 18th, 2015 and as well been loving married life! Their dating relationship was a quick one, but voila - here they are!
They live in Kitchener, so nice and close, yet we still don't see much of them...newlyweds I tell you!
They are heavily involved at MZAK and enjoy being able to serve together!
 Rachel
This is me - not many changes, but subtle ones I suppose! 
I am still a nanny of 5 beautiful children and though sometimes prove to be growing my character, these dear ones definitely have a very special place in my heart!
This past summer was terribly busy at Rach's Cakes - too busy in fact for just one person to run solo! Filled with weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays - oh and a few of those adorable baby showers thrown in there too!
The summer has gone too quickly - but we're so ready for whatever comes next!
 Daniel
My long lost brother - this chap has been interning with Child Evangelism Fellowship this summer and found himself in Warrenton, Missouri where he has been taking a few courses to further 
his knowledge and heart as to how to reach children for Christ better!
So excited as to what God has in store for this guy
Faith
This gal turned 18 this summer and although still finishing up highschool inspires me as she's working towards going to Conestoga next year for their nursing program! It was hard to keep track of her this summer as she is quite the social gal and was busy with many different things!
James
This handsome dude has grown into quite the young man! So appreciate his tender heart for the Lord and sensitivity towards others! He worked so much this summer and has been saving up for a farm of his own! He loves being around animals (cows in particular) and hopes to one day have a place of his own!
                           
 
Micah
Our dear dramatic 12 year old! Some say he takes after me, but in all fairness he has his own unique personality! He was a huge help on the farm this summer - as most of us were working or busy elsewhere - he was very faithful with mowing the lawns and doing whatever needed to be done! He loves being around people and LOVES to make you laugh!
 Jonathan
The baby of the family - was quite content to stay close to mom all summer! This guy loves being around people as well as long as he can give you lots of hugs and sit on your lap! A hard worker this one is as well!
                     
That's a wrap folks - now you're caught up on my family... or were! It's a quick pace type of life and changes happen quickly and abundantly in bigger families like these!
So thankful for our parents and the values and legacy they have instilled in us!

I Am Your Shield

This is a song that has been a great encouragement to me and so I wanted to share it with all of you, hoping that it will minister to you and encourage you on... even during the dark times! May He give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of those secret places!  I Am Your Shield Rachel Wissman My child are you discouraged  By the sorrows of the day Does it seem like life is crumbing The skies have turned to grey Don’t forget I gave you promises to guide you every hour In the moment of your heartbreak Let me show you my great power   And I will be your shield When the battle rages on And I will be your light when the way ahead is dark I will be your strong tower And guide you every hour Just place your life completely in my hand I know it won’t be easy I never said it would But my grace will always be there My plans for you are good Remember that your weaknesses are perfect in my sight Only when you yield them to ...

2017 seemed to be a year full of new adventures and "firsts"! I hadn't been home for all the hustle and bustle of Christmas for 5 years and boy did I ever miss it! Starbucks and studying for finals filled my December Experiencing and practicing out skills out in the "field" - preparing us for our final practical Something I've really missed doing - hanging the Christmas lights out at the farm!

South Africa 2016

This is a super overdue post and I struggled to find the pictures I wanted to add, but here is what I came up with...ENJOY! I surprised my younger brother by purchasing an airline ticket months in advance, but waited to tell him he was coming with me till a week or so before. He had been talking about wanting to travel with me to South Africa, and I was so glad that it worked out! You're never too young to experience these things in life! James (and clan) dropped us off at the airport - So appreciated this, as parking and flying wasn't the most ideal for a four week trip. I booked our layover for Switzerland as I had a friend I wanted to visit, as well as Switzerland had been on my bucket list of places to explore! My friend picked us up from the airport and brought us back to her place for breakfast and a quick shower! She had the whole day planned out so well. We visited the Carma Chocolate Academy  which is where they make and produce the chocolate for all...
