This has been a whirlwind few days. Our mother was admitted to the hospital on Thursday last week and has been diagnosed with leukemia. A breast cancer survivor for seven years we have always breathed a sigh of relief with follow ups with the oncologist. God has been good to bless us with seven wonderful years to share with her since then. This has been very sudden. I pray He reveals to me who He would like me to reach for Him in "such a time as this". Whether it be here in the hospital, at work, or home. Knowing that we serve a soverign God that is in control of it all is comforting.I tell you this because I ask for your patience this fall. There may be times when I need to be with my family and unable to hold class. I plan on making a contact list with classes so we can have a sort of phone chain which will be very helpful should I need to be away. As for now we go forward with treatment for mom that will hopefully get us through the holidays. Our family is very close so this has been a very emotional time. I covet all your prayers. We have two great retreats lined up for this fall. The October Lakeside event is fast approaching. I will be contacting those attending to give you more information on what to bring, etc. Also the Zoar Retreat still has openings for five. Email me or call me if you would like a brochure. kallman@zoominternet.net 419-685-4490.
Classes begin a week from today September 6 in Vermilion at 4pm
Classes in Wadsworth begin Thursday September 15 at 4pm
Classes in Ashland at my home September 12 and 13 at 10am
Fondly, Katie
