Nine years without my dad, and yet he’s still ev Nine years without my dad, and yet he’s still everywhere. In the way we laugh, in the way we show up for people, and in the odd little tricks he left us with. He taught us how to play the bagpipes—with our nose and throat. How to magically take our fingers off and on. How to become a puppet with the edge of a mirror. He had a rule for design: always think in thirds. A rule for ice cream: bite it, don’t lick it. And a rule for road trips: always keep a stash of trail mix under the seat. He could turn an RV into a rolling tour experience and would start laughing at a joke before he even finished telling it. He found joy in the little things and made sure everyone around him did too. His humour, adventure, and generosity live on. What did he teach you?

Belong. Believe. Behave: Why Faith Starts With Bel Belong. Believe. Behave: Why Faith Starts With Belonging Before Christmas, I had the privilege of speaking at a women’s event at Peace Portal Church, sharing a portion of this message that has deeply shaped my faith: Belong. Believe. Behave. For too long, we’ve believed that we must fix ourselves before God will accept us, but Scripture reveals the opposite—belonging comes first. When we know we are welcomed and loved by God, belief follows naturally, and transformation flows from that foundation. In my recent blog post, I unpack how belonging shapes faith, belief grows from love, and true change starts from the inside out. Whether you’ve ever felt like an outsider in faith or want to create spaces of belonging for others, this message is for you. Please read the full post on my blog; link is also in my bio: https://www.shasherslife.ca/2025/02/belong-believe-behave-faith-journey.html

Just as my Year of Open Doors was coming to a clos Just as my Year of Open Doors was coming to a close, an unexpected opportunity unfolded at CanIL (Canada Institute of Linguistics). Six months later, I’m honoured to step into the role of VP of Development. With my first fundraising campaign achieving historic success and preparations underway for a capital campaign, I’m embracing the fullness of what’s ahead. This milestone reflects perseverance, faith, and the power of trusting in divine timing. A culmination of all my past experiences leading to new opportunities, “Grace upon Grace.” 🙌
Happy 58th to my husband, David—a man after God’s own heart. You embody qualities that don’t just stand out; they leave a legacy: Humble. Reverent. Respectful. Trusting. Understanding. Loving. Devoted. Faithful. Obedient. Repentant. Your heart is deeply anchored in faith, with a strength that comes from trusting God at every turn. You love His Word, live with gratitude, and pursue His will with determination. You’re bold when it matters, tender when it counts, and always steadfast in your purpose. You don’t just talk about faith—you live it. That makes you more than a great husband. It makes you an incredible father, a guide to many, and a role model who inspires us all. Babe, you are one of a kind, and we’re all better because of you. Happy Birthday! 𝒫.𝓈. 𝓎𝑜𝓊’𝓇𝑒 𝒶𝓈 𝒸𝓁𝑜𝓈𝑒 𝓉𝑜 𝟨𝟢 𝓃𝑜𝓌 𝒶𝓈 𝐼 𝒶𝓂 𝓉𝑜 𝟧𝟢 😂 😉
Day 2 of our Vancouver adventure was all about exp Day 2 of our Vancouver adventure was all about exploring and pushing our limits! We hopped on the SkyTrain, then the SeaBus, and finally a bus to reach Capilano Suspension Bridge Park for the AHHHHHmmazing Canyon Lights. From crossing the suspension bridge high above the canyon to walking among the treetop lights, every moment was a mix of adventure and awe. The rain didn’t stop us. This was a day to remember! Bonus… for all us BC peeps, with our one-day ticket, we get a full year to enjoy @capilanosuspensionbridge

My Prophetic Prayer for 2025 🙏 Heavenly Father My Prophetic Prayer for 2025 🙏 Heavenly Father, As we enter 2025, I believe You are speaking a powerful truth over us: Grace upon grace (John 1:16). In a world that feels hurried and heavy, this is the year to pause, to redirect, and to stand firm on the incredible grace and promises You have placed on our lives. You are calling us to stir up the gifts of the Spirit, just as Paul reminded Timothy to fan into flame the gift of God (2 Timothy 1:6-7). We ask for an awakening of the supernatural—faith, healing, wisdom, prophecy—flowing through us by Your Spirit, not by our strength, because “the Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing” (John 6:63). We pray for the natural to reflect the stirring in the supernatural. Let answered prayers, breakthroughs, and miracles overflow like rivers of living water (John 7:38). Let this be a year of outpouring in the dry places—streams in the desert (Isaiah 35:6)—bringing healing, provision, restoration, and renewal in ways only You can. Lord, this is a time to stand firm in Your grace, to trust Your promises, and to expect Your faithfulness to move in ways we cannot imagine. We believe You are making all things new, calling us to walk in step with Your Spirit and to experience Your abundance overflowing in every area of our lives. We thank You for Your grace that sustains us and Your promises that never fail. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Happy New Year! - Shannon & Family
Merry Christmas from the Mischuk clan! 🎄 This Merry Christmas from the Mischuk clan! 🎄 This year has been one of miracles, milestones, and faith-filled new beginnings. Both Dave and I stepped into new roles that feel like divine appointments—Dave as the Pastor of Seniors at Peace Portal Church and me as the VP of Development at CanIL. These opportunities have been a testament to the beauty of following where we’re led and seeing the pieces fall into place. As a family, we’ve celebrated the joy of connection—whether through epic travels across the world, summer days at Sand Lake, weekends in Calgary… moments spent with our growing family. My grandsons remind us daily of life’s simplest and greatest gifts. To our friends and family, near and far: thank you for walking this journey with us. This season, we pray your home is filled with peace, joy, and the kind of hope that sustains and inspires. Here’s to the promise of new chapters in the year to come. Merry Christmas, from our hearts to yours. ❤️ • Shannon

Back from the Canadian Pacific District retreat in Back from the Canadian Pacific District retreat in Whistler with Dave and an unbelievably awesome group of pastors and spouses from our church and beyond. I love the heart and humour of the people he gets to work alongside—we’re part of an incredible leadership team! Loved every minute of getting to know them better. Bonus: our boys joined us, so we had some extra family time in the village. Whistler + great people = the best memories. - - @cpdoffice @peaceportalchurch
Happy 26th Birthday, Laralee!! 🥳 It’s been o Happy 26th Birthday, Laralee!! 🥳 It’s been over a decade since you first appeared in our home, and I can’t imagine it without you. From Q’s secretive high school sweetheart to Emma’s best friend, beloved wife, and mom to my grandsons—your heart and humour is in so much of our story. I’m grateful for the memories we’ve shared, the journeys we’ve taken, and the quiet strength you bring to every moment. I couldn’t be prouder of the woman you are and all that you give. Here’s to you today—know that you are celebrated, loved, and so appreciated. Happy Birthday.
It’s not every day you get to meet someone who’s shaped an entire generation of worship! This weekend, I had the honour of learning from Dr. Ron Kenoly at the Ignite Nations Global conference. At nearly 80, after 46 years in ministry and a summer spent in the hospital recovering from two heart surgeries and two lung surgeries, this man showed up. He taught with depth, wisdom, and humility—reminding us what true worship is all about. Last night, to help launch Ignite Global Church with our dear friends Bishops Greg & Diana Gill, he led us in a concert that took us back to the roots of every worship song that filled our churches in the ’90s. It was powerful. Dr. Kenoly’s resilience and his passion for worship is something I won’t forget. He’s lived it, through the highs and lows, and he’s still here, pouring into others. Meeting him was a privilege. Learning from him was a gift. #DrRonKenoly #WorshipLegend #IgniteNations #PraiseAndWorship #FaithInAction
