I am getting so excited for our trip to Haiti - we leave in two weeks!
Even though I already feel blessed every day in my life, it's times like these I really feel it. I know I'll be able to look back on this time of preparation and remember how much I'm cared for and loved by my friends and family. Everyone I sent a support letter to was so generous and encouraging. And just like God always does, he surprised me and went above and beyond. Not only did he provide for my trip cost, but extra money has been sent and helped defray costs for other members of the trip. I can't even explain how wonderful it feels knowing I'll have a huge support network waiting for me back home, praying for me while I'm away. I hope they all know that they are going down to Haiti with me in my heart and hands. It's because of them I can go on this trip and pass on their love and support to a most needy part of the world.
I'm so grateful, so humbled by this entire process. Reaching out to people to raise support was intimidating, but I gave it all up to God to provide, and he did. I took a chance joining a group of people I didn't know and God has turned us into an amazing team of wonderful people. When I heard about this trip for the first time, my heart was ignited to go. So, I prayed about it, believing I was called to go.
In Mark 9:23, Jesus says "Everything is possible for the person who believes." I hope you will continue to believe...
