Today as we were sitting at the table waiting for the moms to come at the end of the day, little 4 year old Georgeli and I were doing some drawing. Before she started drawing her picture, she looked at me and said, "I'm going to draw a baby." After she had finished drawing, she asked me what I thought her picture was. And if you've ever been drawing with little ones, you may know this is a dangerous question. Well considering it looked an awful lot like a baby wrapped in a blanket, I said it looked very much like a little baby. She looked very serious for a moment and said. "It's a motorcycle."

Well the Christmas season is coming up fast. At El Jordan, that means little sleep and a lot of work. But it's all 100% worth it. The Christmas on the streets ministry is such an amazing ministry. We will be feeding 5000 people who live on the streets and feel so alone on Christmas. I am going to try to get everything I need to get done now before the rush starts so that I will have energy to do my best.

An update on Beba: we found out that from her fall she fractured her skull. They didn't get her into the hospital in time to properly set the bones so she is on medication that should cause the bones to heal on their own. Now the worry is that she'll get a blood clot in her brain. If she even bumps her head, she's in great danger of this happening. But! She came to El Jordan a couple days ago and I got to spend the afternoon watching her. It seems prayers are being answered. She didn't seem to be in any pain and was running around like nothing was wrong. I literally had to chase her around to make sure she was being careful. I assume she wasn't too thrilled with my hovering and enforcing limitations on her. She is such a smart, strong-willed little girl. I know the Lord's protective hand is covering her little brain. Praise be to the Lord who hears our prayers.

Things seem to be taking a giant turn for the better back in Canada. All I can say is that the Lord is the healer. There is no wound to0 deep, no addiction too strong, no heart to hard for the Lord to heal. And where there is healing, there is immeasurable, unfathomable freedom. Who is man that you care for him? Yet he continues to give us freedom and unity. Only by his grace are we truly free.
