I'm back!!

After a month of not blogging, I am back again. Bev and I along with our 17 year old daughter Karisa spent several weeks in the Himalayan regions of India. We have several different projects ongoing in that part of the world. I was touched deeply by the heart of the Father as I was there. (It happens every time!)

We dedicated a facility that will provide a home for 32 girls. For the past year construction has been ongoing. The girls currently live in a cramped space just off the street. They will move to their new home later in December. As I watched them stream up the steps into what will be their new communal bedroom, the tears couldn't be stopped from my eyes. Their faces were so excited, smiles stretched almost ear to ear. We celebrated with music, the girls singing with gusto. We celebrated with food, great pots of rice, vegetables, and curry chicken were consumed. I watched a small girl dance spontaneously to the music.

In my own heart, I felt the heartbeat of the Father. My heart was overwhelmed that these girls would have a better home, that they have hope. And it was good! I wanted to hug, to hold each one of the girls and let them know how special they are. The heart of the Father toward them seized my heart, overwhelming me in waves of joy and love. And it was good!

God so cares about the "little people". To be part of His redemptive plan for these 32 girls was and is a privilege beyond compare.
