It tis precisely 5:21 p.m. and I am sitting on a bench outside the Victory Wing soaking up the beauty of the evening. We are here at Ellerslie anxiously awaiting the arrival of our next group of dear sweet children that are coming over here to sing across the 
After to the last tour ended, which was at the end of May, all of the His Little Feet staff had the wonderful opportunity to bring our kids back home to

I arrived home somewhere around the 2nd week in July. I had some special time at home and I arrived back on Ellerslie soil the beginning of this month. Where I am now preparing for the kids! I don’t think it has entirely seeped in that a new group of children will be arriving soon- sweet little ones who I do not know yet, and can’t even properly pronounce their names (:p) but that I will love them just as dearly as I love my children from
"The one who abides in Him ought himself walk in the same manner as He walked."
~ 1 John 2:6
"Little children, let us not love with word or tongue, but in deed and truth."
~ 1 John 3:18
Christ showcased HIS love for the brethren in He gave His life ~ and we are called to walk in His footsteps~ to do the same. We must show our love in deed and truth~ by giving up yourself, your life, your time, your comfort, your rights. THIS is love that reflects Christ. This is love that casts out fear and binds the work of the enemy ((1 John 4:18)) I feel as if I walked this out in many ways this past year with the children. He showed me that He loved us before we loved Him, He gave Himself for us even though we denied Him. In the most vital time, He proved He cared, not by words flippantly spoken but by a deep resounding deed ~ a love that casteth out fear. "Perfect YOUR love in me more and more dear Lord Jesus." ((1 John 4:21))
"I have found a paradox,
that if you love until it hurts,
there can be no more hurt,
only more love."
--Mother Theresa
1 Corinthians 13 - the Lord has been revealing to me at a deeper level the meanings of this lil chapter. It has become more real to me. I have felt this love. An unfathomable, indescribable love. A long against ALL odds. HIS love. I have seen Him perfecting His love within me....it's a love that flows so deep...it comes from a well, a well not my own. It's His love being perfected in me! (verse 1-3: "If I have not love, it profits me nothing.) Is it not wonderful!? Why do we even try in our own strength!?
It has been a crazy ride thus far but overflowing with HIM. His joys, His heart, His tears, His faithfulness, His gifts- I can’t even begin to share all the stories that have accumulated during this past year and four months! Praise the Lord!
Here are just a few pictures of SO so So sO many of my adventures, each one has a special story and memory behind them. *sigh* I hope you enjoy them, beware, there are lots! J J
