My heart is heavy as I prepare to leave a country that I have grown to love and people who I truly care about. I am anxious to see my family but the need here is so great. We all struggle with the fact that while we worked hard and gave our all....we only covered a small fraction of what needs to be done in Haiti.
The Haitian people are to be admired. They work hard, live hard lives and still manage to give a smile and a wave when we pass by. They are appreciative that we are there helping them. The Christian Haitians worship like I have never experienced in America. They sing of how Jesus hasn't forgotten them and he loves the Haitians as much as he loves the Americans. We are all important to Jesus. No one is greater in His eyes.
My prayer is that I grow to experience Jesus like the Haitian people, that I don't get distracted and lose focus of what I am called to do as a Christian woman. In the grand scheme of things, my pet peeves are nothing. I am ashamed of my complaints and what I consider to be struggles. They are nothing! I want to live life, have fun, and most of all, love my Jesus. If I never see my new Haitian friends on this earth again, I look forward to meeting them again in heaven. We will have the biggest dance party ever!!
