THERE IS ALWAYS AN ETERNAL PURPOSE

Happy NOVEMBER our amazing Aaron and Hurs!!!!!!

Yup! We're alive and kicking and super busy doing what we love to do - BUT for the past number of weeks there's been limited internet access at Braeside, so the ON THE HILLS have been put on hold, until NOW, because.....can we get a drum roll pleeeze!?!?.... in the wonderful haven where I will be until we go to Haiti - I have AWESOME internet, so we're back!!!!!! 

THANK you to everyone who has called and texted to make sure we were okay!! Without a doubt, we truly do have the BEST Aaron and Hurs on the planet, bar none!!  Seriously, there is no one like YOU GUYS!! Thank for your faithful prayers for us, despite our lack of communication!!  YOUR sword wielding quite literally makes the difference between life and death, so whatever you do, don't stop!!!

Throughout the last few weeks the one who wants us dead, has tried very hard to complete that mission in both Canada and Haiti, but our GOD is BIGGER and STRONGER than anything that the enemy throws our way!!!  He will never stop trying to get us to give in and give up, because he hates us, and hates who we serve, and who we represent, but our hearts pound with GOD'S LOVE and the perseverance of JESUS, who has given us eyes of faith to see what's coming, not what is!!! The GOD we have abandoned our lives to, NEVER LOSES which is why the fiercer the storm, the bigger our smiles!!!!!!!!

If the Israelite's hadn't been trapped between the Red Sea and Pharaoh, they never would have seen the hand of GOD roll back those waters!!!

If Daniel hadn't been thrown into a pit of hungry lions, he never would have had front row seats to watching GOD shut their mouths!!!

If the three Hebrew boys hadn't been bound and tossed into a blazing furnace, they never would have had the thrill of walking in that fire, unharmed, with JESUS!!!

There is ALWAYS an eternal purpose to the Red Sea moments, pits full of hungry lions, and furnaces seven times hotter than normal. 

There are beautiful, powerful, life transforming truths that our PAPA God is only able to teach us while we wait for those waters to part, or when we find ourselves in a pit of lions... ah yes, it's very good to remind our souls that when Shadrach, Meshack and Abendigo were thrown into that furnace, the only thing that was consumed by the flames, were the ropes that bound them, so thank you PAPA God for furnaces...that do what  needs to be done to prepare us for what is waiting!!  

So, our Aaron and Hurs, it is well with our souls.....

Maurice has tapped the well (yeah!) and is finishing up our gate which will hopefully keep out the trucks that are dumping mountains of garbage in our neighborhood!  At the same time he is still on the look out for a crane to move the 40' container he has set aside, on to our property, and we've both been trying to find an agency that will receive the container that's being modified here in Canada - which by the way, is looking AMAZING and is pretty much done!!!  All that's left to do - is to pack it up and ship it to HAITI - and OH WHAT A DAY THAT WILL BE!!!!  

But until that day comes - we are smiling BIG and surrendered to whatever our PAPA God wants to teach us during this time of preparation.............
