9 Months. Haiti. Poverty. Devastation. Helplessness. Sickness. Disease.
What is it going to take to make this possible?
Above all, it's going to take faith. Faith that this is what God is calling me to at this moment. Faith that He will protect me and that He has a plan for me. Faith that I have something to offer despite my ignorance of Haiti's culture, language and traditions.
Its been a few weeks since I arrived in Haiti and I feel Haitian already! I'm continuing to learn about Haiti's history, their culture, learning Creole, and praying, both for myself and our team. Currently, we are trying to raise financial support for 105 kids in our sponsorship program... As we continue on, I am so excited for this journey that God is leading me on and even more excited that He has given me such a great support group back home.
Over these next nine month, it's going to be hard. Emotionally, spiritually, and physically. I'm going to miss Wednesday game nights, crave things I'd never thought I would and realize just how blessed I truly am. I'm going to get frustrated, sweaty, dirty and grow tired of eating beans and rice. But I will also be more dependent upon Christ than I have ever been before. I will get to experience the warmth and joy of someone I've helped. I will continue to become family with 20 orphans. And most of all I will see God in ways I've never seen Him before.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Without you, I would not be who I am today.
