2.15.15



   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.

       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.

   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.
