monday

On Monday, I woke up at 6:30am and I headed out of Edmonton. I had no tears...just a smile from ear to ear. I was so excited! I think that the smile lasted all the way to Fox Lake.

The roads were great, hardly any traffic. My car gave me a smooth and comfortable ride.

I didn't stop until I got to Peace River, where I got a snack and headed up to High Level. At High Level, I called Fox Lake and then drove to John D'Or Prairie to meet Gloria, the woman who hired me. We went to her home for a quick visit and then headed into Fox Lake.

Ummm...how do I tell you about my drive into Fox Lake. It was like nothing that I could have ever imagined. We drove into a world like no other. The road...it was pitch black night...was barely drivable, but gorgeous from what I could see. I seemed to go on forever, with trees towering high up into the night sky on either side of the road for miles. We drove over so many fallen trees, with snow built up so our cars could make it.

Then the river. We drove across the river! Can I even begin to tell you how cool that was! I prayed the whole way across, so excited and in awe that I was actually experiencing what I was. There is nothing more beautiful than to be completely submerged in this untouched world that God created. Everywhere I look I see his touch. I am absolutely giddy with joy! I am very happy to be here!!!!!!
