IF ONLY WE COULD SEE WHAT GOD SEES...

There is ALWAYS a bigger story playing out than the one we are privy to!!

It may LOOK like nothing is happening; that God has forgotten and forsaken you - but trust me, He works in ways we cannot see!!

Butterflies wouldn’t be butterflies, if as caterpillars they didn’t spend time in the cocoon!! Ah yes, what LOOKS like a dried up blob of mud on the outside, is actually a nesting place for a NEW BEGINNING!!!

It’s only in the darkness of a cocoon where a caterpillar can be transformed into a new creature - and that season cannot be hurried along because the ONLY way this evolving butterfly can strengthen its wings, is by flapping against the inside of the cocoon - which it continues to do until its muscles become strong enough to break open the cocoon!!

If this action is interrupted or bypassed, the butterfly will NEVER be able to fly because it will have not gone through the NECESSARY PROCESS of becoming strong!!

My friends, you may FEEL trapped - you may FEEL like you’re flapping your wings for nothing - but THE TRUTH is that the harder you flap your wings, the stronger you will become - and at the appointed time, the walls of the cocoon will crack open, releasing you to fly!!!

SO, in the darkness, in that place where it feels like you’ll never see the light of day again, FLAP YOUR WINGS!!!!

Exercise your faith and tell your soul that what’s coming will far surpass what has been - because COCOONS are where strength is perfected and NEW LIFE is created!!!

This is the TRUTH that we are choosing to live in right now and that He longs for all of us to embrace, because quite frankly, there's just way too much at stake in all of our stories, for us not to!!!

Since we last chatted, we have returned and have settled back into Canadaland. 

Maurice is now on THE LIST for a new hip - and they say the wait could be six months or more.  

Charitable Status application #4 has been submitted by our lawyer and she says it's looking very hopeful. 

Our Nan Rasin family are doing okay and thankfully are in constant contact despite the continuing protests, no gas and lack of food that brings daily chaos to that desperate nation. 

Please continue to pray for Maurice. We're thankful he's now on THE LIST, but SIX MONTHS is a very long time to endure the already incredibly debilitating pain, so to say your prayers are needed, is a huge understatement!!!

And please, please, please, continue to pray for our families in Nan Rasin - and for the entire nation of Haiti that Jesus has promised to rescue.

Asking God to show us what HE sees,

Maurice and Sue :)
