HOME....

Well, we made it....I'm HOME...my new home in HAITI! It is still very surreal to me that I am actually here and that I won't be leaving in a week or two but that I am here for a year! My mind can't really comprehend that right now...

The following is the entry for today from my Jesus Calling devotional...it's quite fitting for todays events; I love it when God does that!

Thank you all so much for your prayers throughout the day; they were definitely felt!! Well off to bed...heading up to Grace Village in the morning to unpack and get settled into my new HOME...first I'll be loving up on all those kiddos though!

God is sooooo good!!

Go into all the world and preach the good news to all.

~Jesus (Mark 16:15)

For the last two years God has put Haiti on my heart. I have been blessed to be able to serve those less fortunate on four short-term mission trips through an amazing organization called Healing Haiti. From my very first trip I knew that Haiti would always be apart of me. It is a place with so much poverty and despair but yet brings me so much joy and fills me with love beyond measure.

Over the last 8 months I have prayerfully considered serving in Haiti for a long-term mission. Through many prayers, God continues to open up doors and reveal Himself and the plans He has for me. Although there are still doors that need to be opened, I am certain that God will provide everything that I need as I follow His plan for my life. It is with overflowing joy in my heart that I am excited to tell you that God has answered my prayers and is leading me to serve in Haiti. I am currently planning on serving in Haiti for one year, but am leaving it all up to God as to where this may lead me.
