Everyday I think about my time in Haiti, everyday I talk about something to do with Haiti, everyday I look at at least one picture from Haiti, and everyday I pray for Haiti. I know many people are thinking "okay we get it, you went to Haiti", or "you were only there a week, get over it." The truth is, I cant...I can't get over it. God has destroyed my life..He has taken everything I thought I have ever wanted and put it on the back burner. While I was in Haiti, I changed. I changed for the better. Before I left for Haiti I caught myself thinking about really wanting to start having kids soon, and now I keep thinking "I don't want kids right now, I want to be in Haiti." I used to HATE geography and now I catch myself looking up maps online to learn as much as I can about the world we call home. I pray everyday that the Lord calls me back to Haiti, for longer than a week. Yes, I will go without my husband and a lot of people may think that is OUTRAGEOUS, but Matt and I are strong enough in our marriage, even after only a year to know it can work. We have pure trust and faith that the Lord as called me to go back, and that He will ALWAYS come through, meaning He will hold our marriage together, while I am gone.
Little chocolate colored children with HUGE white smiles have stolen my heart, the beauty of the mountains and the ocean has overtaken my life, the shambles of the city has overtaken my mind, the language has made me want to study (for the first time EVER.) Haiti is a broken place with so much potential I can't help but dream to be a small part of the BIG stuff the Lord is doing over there. Please pray for Haiti!
Until next time...Proverbs 19:17
