Transitions 2017/2018.

It’s been longer then intended since my last post. In fact I missed a whole year of my life.  What happened in 2018. Well since my las post we had a healthy baby boy Named Asher James Young. He was born 10/10/2017. Life became busier then atecapted with two boys. I was getting worn out working at the youth centre and trying to keep up with family life. In March of 2018 I finished my time at Joes Place after working  there for 9 years. I took the opportunity to take 3 months of parental leave and during that time began to transition my life into adulthood, fatherhood and deeping my faith and relationship with God.

I started by first packing up my wii and canceling Netflix and Crave. I blocked Facebook on my phone and began to spend time with my family. We took a trip to a cabin and enjoyed time together. I read some books on spiritual disciples and went through Soul Care by Rob Reimer. Which helped Myers to discover who I am in Jesus and worked through some sin issues and forgiveness as well as some healing and deliverance. I also got my Truck license and in July started working in a farm which I am still currently doing. Also in July we moved into a house with a yard and garage and for the for the first time since moving out of my own house didn’t share a wall with neighbours.

We are still in alittle bit of free fall as a family. We are hoping to move to Ontario next year and hopefully buy a home and settle in, closer to family and in a place that feels more like home. For that to happen we are waiting and starting to save what we can to make the move as cost effective as possible. There are many challenges ahead. But we will get through and see where God leads us.

I forgot to mention that Leanne also started a business with Roden and Feilds and is coming up on one year into this venture. She has been doing well at it and hopefully will be able to make enough to be a stay at home mom and work her skin care business full time. I am not planning on driving truck
For the rest of my life but it was a goal to be able to drive a truck and keep my licence as a backup job when needed. I am considering going back to school for a child and youth worker diploma and working in the social services field as a mentor or something along those lines. Until the. I am enjoying having the time and space to think through the future and pray and learn while I work.
