Haiti Wrap Up.

I just wanted to share a little bit more about my time in Haiti.

I wanted to share a little bit more about what I learned and how I saw God work.

It's hard to narrow down all the different ways I saw God while I was in Haiti.

One way I saw Him was in the Haitian people.

The Haitians that were taking care of us did such an incredible job, 

and it was because of their deep love for the Lord. 

They knew and understood that we had left our homes, 

and families, 

and comforts, 

to come and serve them.

And they knew that we came to serve them because of our love for the Lord. 

Because we love Jesus, 

and the Haitians also love Jesus,

we were able to love each other. 

We didn't love each other because we knew each other, 

or because we had lots of things in common,

the only thing we had in common was Jesus.

But that was more than enough! 

God showed Himself through His people.

Another way I saw God was in His creation. 

We were out in villages,

so we were constantly surrounded by the Lord's creation.

Pure, untouched, unblemished beauty.

We were constantly encountering new things, 

new smells,

new plants,

new animals,

new sounds,

and they were all pointing back to Him.

One thing in particular was the wind. 

I felt like God was always in the wind.

It always seemed to blow at the perfect moment,

right when the sun was at its hottest,

or when I was the most tired,

or the most frustrated. 

I have no doubt that God was in the wind every time it blew. 

It kinda made me think of the movie Pocahontas,

and the scenes where the wind would blow and all the colorful leaves would come and surround her,

like they were meant for her.

That's kinda what the wind felt like in Haiti,

except it wasn't colorful animated leaves that surrounded me,

but rather the presence of the Lord. 

Those are just a few of the ways I saw and felt God while in Haiti.

I know there are many, many more,

far too many for me to name or even realize.

I do want to say thank you to everyone who supported me while on this trip.

Thank you for all the prayers, dollars, thoughts and encouragement. 

This trip would not have been possible without you.
