Living History

Well...

Once again... a loss for the day. It was very intense. VERY. I met people I never in a million years that I would meet. A Senator who was one of the closest people to Trudeau. A person who if she didn't speak up and do things women's rights in Canada would have been rather hampered. A woman who helped impliment abortion in our nation... amoungst other things.

Although she was walking history and she was instrumental in shaping the Canada in which we live today, I wasn't sure what to do with the things that have shaped Canada in a negative way. Still, even if we dissagreed on some points, the opprotunity to speak and dialogue with this woman was an honor.

What I was incredibly impacted with was how it seemed like this group of young Canadians were present as fruit to some of the descions that were made in her era. We have members of our team who had abortions. They spoke out with raw and shocking honesty about where they were at. There really is not way to describe the meeting in all honesty.

So let's talk about the one before that. We met with another member of Parliament who has a very important role in our nation. He is the minister of Public Security meaning the RCMP, CSIS, the Boarder Patrol and the Prisions all report to him. We met for a little while in an incredible office and then he had to go to another meeting. BUT he allowed us in his office for the next hour and a half to pray and pray we did!

It truly was remarkable. We had a deep prayer time in the morning and if felt as if the Lord's presence just popped over from the prayer house to this office. We all knew the depth of being able to pray for our nation in a time like this and on-site in our Public Safety head office. What an honor.

Yesterday was relatively open. Today on the other hand... we have double booked nearly ever meeting with a grand total of 13 meetings today. That means we are going from 9:00am straight until at least 5:30pm on the Hill. Then we move to D.O.C Church for our evening rally which we should be there at 6:00pm and who knows how long it goes for. And if you wake up at 6:00am like me that calls for a full day. Almost as full as an MP's... almost.

I think we're on CBC this sunday. I don't know when. But if I find out I'll let you know. Because someone out there should record it as I will be preaching away in Toronto that night!
