Plane ticket has been purchased, bags are almost packed - I'm only 5 days away from being in Haiti! As the hour of my feet landing outside of the United States again approaches I find myself stressing about making sure the little details here are taken care of and that I have every single thing I could ever need for 4 weeks packed in my small backpack. This is going to be a great adventure and I'm excited to watch the Lord use me to bring glory to His name in Haiti. 

I could use your prayers...

      A fear of mine is that my selfishness will creep up while I'm in Haiti. You would think that in the midst of the devastation that I wouldn't complain or whine about anything...I'm desperately praying for that... I am uncertain as to what my shower and restroom situations will be like or what the food and availability of water will be. I want a sticky note on my forehead that reads, "Look around, take a deep breath...are you seriously going to complain right now?!"  

      Also please pray for the condition of my heart beginning now through my time in Haiti. I have some very important future decisions ahead of me and great opportunities that have been placed before me but I only want to do what the Lord has planned. Currently I am in a state of confusion and frustration regarding these opportunities and I want to choose the right path. Pray for me to clearly hear the Lord's voice and see Him move and act in that direction. The acting part can be a little difficult for me sometimes. :)  

 

Can't wait to share with you my time in Haiti and how the Lord worked in and through me. Check back for stories and pictures soon.
