Busy and Blessed

I’ve been busy this week, but I’ve also been incredibly blessed. I never dreamed in a bazillion years that God’s grace would plant me where I am today. I’m a wife, a mother, a writer, and a servant here at Time-Warp Wife.

Here’s a recap of the last few days:

Candace Cameron Bure and her husband Val came to Winnipeg for a Compassion Canada event, and while they were here, Candace and I were able to promote our book, “Reshaping it All: Motivation for Physical and Spiritual Fitness.”

It started with a book signing at Chapters in St. Vital mall. The event was planned for 7 pm, but people had already started lining up at 5:15! By the time I got there, shortly after six, the line up was phenominal. Over 400 people stood in line to meet Candace and have their book signed. The store quickly sold out.

It was such a blessing to see people lined up for a Christian book, and to be a part of the excitement. Go God!!

Due to the success of the book signing, our story was featured on the news the next day.

After the book signing, Candace and I met up with Val at a restaurant downtown where he was promoting Bure Wine. I had the most incredible piece of prime rib, and was able to visit with Val for a bit too.

The next morning, I met Candace and Val at Trinity Television where she was to be interviewed by Audrey Meisner. We were ushered into the green room before taping, and both Candace and I had a banana. This is the second green room I’ve been to now, and both of them had beautiful fruit platters for their guests. (I could get used to this!)

Once she was prepped for the interview, we walked into the studio. There were about 10 young teenagers there that were staff members kids and their friends. They were sooooo excited! My guess is that they got the day off of school to see “DJ Tanner.”

The set was beautifully decorated, much like a livingroom with a fireplace in the background. There were three or four cameras set up. I sat off to the side with Val and didn’t dare cough or sneeze until the interview was over. Audrey was so on fire for Jesus, it was a blessing to watch the two of them chat! (The show will air at a later date.)

Not used to all of this excitement, I went home for a nap. I slept for about two hours in the afternoon before the kids got back from school, then it was time to get ready for the celebrity dinner with Compassion Canada.

We had an amazing night with Val Bure as our key note speaker. There were so many laughs, and the crowd raised about 27,000 for Compassion Canada. That was awesome!

Now I’m home, unwinding and just about ready to go to bed. It’s been blessed few days, which I can’t thank God enough for!
