1.5.15


   I have all the money I need for Haiti. Yesterday, at church, someone gave a lot of money for me. With that, plus what I was already provided with, I seem to have more than enough. Hooray for not needing to use my Christmas money (or the kids') for my mission trip. I need socks! They want pajamas! Someone, or some people, have been giving, giving, giving to my family.

I am so grateful for the Lord's blessings... 

He gave his life for me, and that is truly all he needed to do. 

And, I don't even deserve that!

   Haiti is something I am doing so that others can know... I am doing it because it is the very least I can do for Christ, and still he gives his money for broken, selfish me. 

For this journal entry, I am learning about the depths of God's love. 

There doesn't seem to be anything he wouldn't do for me, and I am so very undeserving. 

Ephesians 3:17-18: And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.

       I am so, so, scared. Today is Wednesday, and we leave on Saturday night.  I am afraid that something bad will happen.   I am trying to leave everything in order.      My priorities are mixed up. Wouldn't I want to spend as much time as I could with the kids? Instead I am cleaning everything in sight.  I just want to be gone and over with it.  Here's to trying to rest in each moment, and to taking it all in.

   We are four weeks away from our leave date for Haiti! I am so excited I can't stand it! Yesterday I bought shoes and other clothes to take... I hope I will be prepared, stress free.  I hope I have something to contribute.  I hope I am not viewed as dead weight.  I hope that every second I am being stretched and refined I will grow closer to Jesus.  I hope that I will leave my family in the hands of the one who should be holding them.  I hope they grow in Him too!    Now is the time to truly prepare myself and the kids for when I am gone.

   The time for me to leave for Haiti is coming very close. I am occupied with constant, distracting thoughts of things I must accomplish in order to leave "well" with all I need to ensure my comfort, and to be sure I can leave my family without thoughts of what I did not do for them before I left. Most of all, what I am worried about is that first day.   Sleeping on the plane, and then jumping right into Haiti.      I hope we... mostly me, let everyone else worry about themselves... can get enough rest to make it through the whole day.  I don't know what God has in store for me, but I hope I am changed.  I hope He will stir in us, and make us stronger in how we serve Him.
