Yes, it is one of David's favourite Gordon Lightfoot songs and it is what we will be doing on the 25th of July. Our service here at Red Rock will end on the 26th of July.
The reason for moving on is the ongoing battle of David's health. He is still able to work, but the toll on him is taking too much. The stiffness, pain and exhaustion are a daily occurrence. It is time to find something less physically demanding. Sonya also faces the long, long hours of her job. We came to willingly serve and contribute to the running of this camp but as we face personal health issues, there is less and less joy as the weeks go by. We need to concentrate on finding medical care that will help us get to the reasons behind why David's body is not producing white blood cells. We need to find ourselves again.
To this end, we are moving to Camrose Alberta.
Why Camrose you ask? David will not be able to work forever and we need to look to our future. We have discovered that some ex-neighbours from our Tavistock days live in the Leduc area and own a scrapbooking store in Camrose and have offered to help us relocate. We have found a rental suite to live in and David already has a couple of job interviews lined up at building supply companies for sales type jobs. We are praying that other fall opportunities will come our way too. We've found a church close to where we will be living so we are looking forward to just getting resettled into "normal" life. LOL. We know a few of you are saying to yourselves "Normal-Biehns" do those 2 words really go together??
This is not what we had planned when we moved to Manitoba, but as we have learned from the past, our plans are not God's plans. David just looooves to move, (slight sarcasm here) and we are finding these last few weeks very stressful, but we are trusting God in all things. Prov. 3:5&6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths" We both know that this move is necessary. We will miss many of the young Summer Staff personnel, especially the ones we have just met. Many of these young people are mature beyond their years and are wonderful examples to others. They have been a bright light of encouragement to us.
We will try to post atleast once more before we leave. Thank you to all who are praying for us.

Hi Sonya and David,
Prayers and blessings follow you into Alberta. Take time to just rest in Him, meditate on His Word daily, take your pititions to His throne without ceasing and let the Spirit work in you both. May He give you rejuvenation and increasing joy in Him.
