one month ago at this time i stood on a stage looking out at the people of haiti...
its been a few weeks since being back in the states and i have been taking this time to soak in the whole experience.
people have asked how haiti was...
that's a loaded question!
it's beyond hard to describe the things i saw, and the feelings i went through.
my heart was broken holding children at the orphanage who are without parents. my heart was broken seeing a little boy getting his shoe stolen, and then to see him cry as if he lost everything-these was all emotions and feelings i will never be able to put into words, but i am so thankful i was able to experience.
i went on the trip hoping to come back with and idea and direction i wanted to go with my life. i came back disappointed feeling like i had unanswered questions and i was just as confused as
when i left. after a few weeks of being home, i think God did give me answers i just had to search my heart some more.
i went to haiti wondering if mission work was something God was calling me to get into full time. i was curious if God wanted me to be used in a different country, and if this is where He wanted me to stay for awhile. i learned on this trip and being home for a few weeks that God is calling me to do more short term mission trips. -i am excited to see where He will lead me with more mission trips, i am thankful for these answers to what i thought were unanswered prayers a few weeks ago.
i am learning to be happy with what i have
thankful for the people who have surrounded me the past few months
and have gotten my life right with God- it's awesome.
i feel like my life is at a place it has never been before
i found-me.
i have learned to accept my life and embrace all that God throws at me...and i am grateful.
this is my journey, this is my story, this is my life...
