new colours

Do you like the new colours on this blog?

I changed them before attending the wedding of Corey and Elly Runnalls.
Perhaps there was something in the air about fuschia and orange!

fairy godmother


When Jaime invited me to be Kara Lynn's godmother,

and I said yes,

mom commented, "A fairy godmother."

How fitting.

My friend Lamb calls me Faye,

my middle name,

which means fairy.

Interestingly, last year at this time,

before I had ever met Lamb,

I wrote a blog post about my name.

What's in a name?

countries I've visited

My friend Shawna's xanga site she posted a map of countries she has visited. Very nice. I have followed suit, but didn't like the way the map displayed here, so put it on another weblog, appropriately named Home Away From Home.

The countries include:

godmother


I became a godmother yesterday -- for my 6-month-old niece, Kara Lynn Brimner.

Kara means "pure one" and Lynn means "a cascade" or waterfall. Isn't that lovely? I'm am blessed and honoured to have this responsibility for Kara Lynn's spiritual formation.

My parents and I attended the dedication service yesterday morning at the Manor Christian Fellowship Centre. For a blessing I sang "Beautiful Little Girl" by Cheri Keaggy.

Beautiful little girl, discovering all the world
I wonder what she'll be
Will she take after her daddy or me?
Careful to hold her hand and help her understand
How much we love her so
And how much we'd like to help her to grow

Chorus:
Into a woman who loves her Maker
And who knows what she's living for
So that nothing can harm or take her from You
For a woman who loves her Maker
Has a quality you can see
That will certainly mold and shape her
Into the woman she's meant to be

Beautiful little child, adorning a lovely smile
Eager to learn to fly
There's almost nothing she wouldn't try
Lord, help us do our part to give her a Godly start
Teach her what she must learn
And guide her until she's ready to turn

Chorus:
Into a woman who loves her Maker
And who knows what she's living for
So that nothing can harm or take her from You
For a woman who loves her Maker
Has a quality you can see
That will certainly mold and shape her
Into the woman she's meant to be

Beautiful little girl, discovering all the world
I wonder what she'll be
Serving her Maker faithfully

I'll post pictures when I receive some.
