October 2nd
It's another night, brushing my teeth with the water from my water bottle that has a hint of orange Gatorade I was drinking earlier to replenish electrolytes. And as I slip into my covers (Which isn't just a sheet but also a blanket now!) I'm thankful. Thankful to be here in Haiti, learning from other believers; team members and staff members. Thankful to be able to serve people in need spiritually and physically. Thankful to have community with interns doing the same thing as me. Thankful to get to love on precious children. Thankful to get to be a part of God's movement in this country. Thankful to get to laugh with friends. Thankful to eat good food. Thankful to get to experience a sponsor meet their child for the first time. Thankful that I get to give of myself I'm so tired by the end of the day. Thankful to lay in bed and look forward to the taste of coffee the next morning. Thankful to listen to stories of God's faithfulness in healing someone from an allergy to UV rays who is now on staff doing full time ministry in Haiti where you can't escape the sun. Thankful to sit on the roof and watch lightning fill the sky. Thankful to carry a sleepy two year old up the hill after worship along with staff, interns, and other kids that live in the orphanage. This is Haiti. This is God's love. Humbled to be here.
My God how great Thou art!
