On December 3, 2017 at Evangel Pentecostal Assembly, I was able to share a very special day with some close family and friends - My Ordination - and now I want to share this experience with those who wanted to be there but were unable to attend. Just know that I feel your love and support, and love and appreciate you all very much!
Being ordained was the next step in my ministry journey, and among other things, it will allow me the privilege of facilitating services of great value and importance in people's lives. Like performing wedding ceremonies, doing baby dedications or funerals. I view this as another opportunity to have a positive impact in the lives of those around me.
I am so incredibly thankful to pastor Dave Hall and the ABNWT District of PAOC for walking this road to ordination with me. It was more than an obligation or requirement to be fulfilled, but it was a building of relationship, and mentor-ship of godly wisdom. THANK YOU!
Pastor Dave & Cyndi Hall.
So many people have helped make this day SO special, but I would like to extend a VERY special thank you to my husband Vaughan, who is my biggest supporter and VERY best friend. Without him I would not be where I am today. Vaughan has been the truest example of God's love and strength to me here on this earth, and I thank God for Vaughan, and I love him more than words.
Special thanks to my two AMAZING moms, Susie Ings, Laura King and my " loves with his whole heart" AMAZING dad, Eric Ings, it was a blessing to have you all by my side. I love you all so very much.
Thank you to my beautiful friend Jennilee with Selah Reflections for capturing these beautiful moments that will last a lifetime.
And when you look at my beautiful pictures, you'll also notice a fabulous cake. This was a special gift from a dear friend. Thank you Mary Jaya.
To all my friends and family who were there to share in my special day, you are very special to me, and I can't thank you enough. And to all my family who could not be there, but love and support me more than you could imagine. My big brothers Carl & Sandy and my baby sis Erica, and my brother in law Lance, and sister Tamara and their families. I have the BEST FRIENDS AND FAMILY EVER!
LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!
Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. - Philippians 1:3

MANY thanks to all of you for all the cards, gifts and special message I received.
From being crowned the first ever Miss Wheelchair Canada to being ordained, this has been an amazing year to say the least, AND with the HIGHEST importance, I give thanks to my Heavenly Father for His hand that guides me, His strength that sustains me, and his grace to cover me. He has been, and will always be- ALL that I need.

"Not to me oh Lord not to me, but to your name goes all the honor and glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness."
