Looking back

When I think about the past year, I can think of times where I thought my heart would burst from the pain of  disappointment, aggravation, and uncertainty.  However looking back, I can see how God was molding my heart.  He wasn't gentling pricking my heart; He was forcefully molding it into what He wants it to be.  And that is painful.  One year ago, we listened to God's calling and made our first trip to Haiti.  It has been a year full of highs and lows.  With every tug and pull on my heart God has stretched me to love more, pulled me closer to Him, and pushed me out of my comfort zone. 

“But now, O Lord, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You our potter; and all we are the work of Your hand.” (Isaiah 64:8)

I booked my flight for a trip to Port au Prince in December.  It will be myself and my friend, Cindy, going.  She and her husband are adopting too.  We will be filing our I-600 then flying up to Cap Haitien to spend time with Jimmy and Richard as well as work at CHCH and Tabitha's orphanage nearby.

Please pray for our travels, our dossier in IBESR, and our fundraising.  The December trip will cost approximately $2000.  Please consider buying a puzzle quilt piece, a tee shirt at www.WildOliveTees.com (remember to put in our coupon code SCHLUP0910), or order a delicious pie ($15 each.)  Every dollar counts.  Thank you for your support.
