Pearson Airport
This is the last post of this blog until further notice. I'm currently sitting in Toronto Pearson Airport waiting to board a plane to Chicago, where I will board a plane to Tokyo! So I'll talk to you all when I talk to you. Bye! :)

A Beautiful Smile
Today was confirming, blessing, prophetic, and overall just incredible.
I don't really know how to put it into words for you, but basically I had a lot confirmed for me, and a bit of prophecy as well. God ain't nothin' but good :).
One thing that struck me about today was how many people have told me today and in days past while here that I have a beautiful and contagious smile. I never realized it before, but I don't really think I have a very nice smile at all. Whenever I look in the mirror and see my wide gape of a smile and the two bucked, gap teeth that serve as the centerpiece, I try and forget about it so I can laugh and smile without worrying what I look like when I laugh.
But I realize now that God sees me as His, "sunshine when clouds are grey". God loves my smile. People love my smile. I'm gonna keep smiling, because I have no reason not to.
For those of you reading this from home, I miss you all terrible right now, and I look very much forward to February when I can wrap each and every one of you up in a big hug.
Catch you all...tomorrow?

The Real Kingdom of Heaven
So, we went on the van run again tonight. And I want to write all about it, because I'm so excited and I want others to know and experience everything you learn and experience every time you do one of these van runs, but I know there is no way anyone reading this will understand.
You can nod your head and say, "wow, that's exciting" with a slightly genuine smile trying to understand why I'm so excited about homeless people. Or you can say, "uhhh...that doesn't sound right." as I tell you how all the men and women I meet on the street are ten times more genuine, generous, caring, loving, thankful and kind than any given friend I have today(I still love you all).
It would only frustrate me to try and explain it to you, and so all I'm going to tell you is this: Jacob, apply for a YWAM DTS. University/College will worry about itself later. Rebekah, do the same. Holt, do the same. Everyone else...DO THE SAME!!
The only way I can help you understand the wonderful men and women I met on the street tonight is that that is where I found the kingdom of heaven. I got an idea for a documentary for when I get back. I'm going to call it, "The Real Kingdom of Heaven". All it will be is interactions with all these wonderful people that live on the streets of Toronto. It will be a testament to them and their lives, and an example to every single christian on this earth.
Catch you all tomorrow.
