Are we Ready?

Today is Wednesday January 30th. In a little over 48 hours we will leave for Buffalo to once again begin our journey to Haiti. We are spending Friday night in Buffalo then flight out at 6am on Saturday. We stop at JFK then have a direct flight in Port Au Prince. In many wways this has been the hardest trip to prepare for. Our lives have seemed very chaotic for the past 2 months and as recently as 3 weeks ago we were questioning if we should be going. One of our concerns is that we never want to go for our own satisfaction but to make sure it is what God wants. Someone asked me recently what does God want? I had to really think about that and then question myself if I am willing to give Him what he wants which is everything. Maybe we have been holding on a little to tight lately and He had to once again demonstrate to us that He is in control and that things go much better and make more sense when we realize that and allow Him to be.

On my early morning run with Missy this morning we had a conversation about what it means to be humble. Again a question that makes you think. We have always known that our trips to Haiti were a privilege but I am also beginning to see them as a responsibility. First it is our response to God's call. There are so many people that have entrusted us to be their hands and feet in Haiti that it really is overwhelming. People who donate money, prayer, pedialyte, formula, cough syrup and dresses just to name a few. Also the kids who donated spools of thread and pray so faithfully for us. To each of you thank you. As we embark on this journey once again know that we are humbled to be representing you as God's servants to the least of these. Please see link below for our theme song for this trip.
