| Surrender |
I arrived in Haiti on July 2nd. When I look back over the past 3
months, I am amazed at how much I have learned. I speak some Creole, I wash my own clothes by hand, I know
how to treat a variety of medical ailments, I am a mother to 61 children, and I
am continuing to learn more about Haitian culture each day. I am amazed at how much the Lord has
taught me. I have learned that I
need to trust God to use me to love and serve the people in Haiti. God has shown me the importance of
completely relying on Him. The song “Have Your Way” by Elizabeth Hunnicutt has been a
great reminder to allow the Lord to use me. I listen to it every morning. Below you will see some of the lyrics.
Open hearts and open hands
Open up our minds to you
We are longing, we are searching
Guide us in the way of truth
We are listening…
We are listening…
Have your way
Have your way
Holy Spirit, come and have your way
Have your way
Have your way,
Holy Spirit come and have your way
We surrender,
To your power
We surrender,
To your whisper
I am so thankful that God called me to Haiti. My heart beats so strong for the
Haitian people. I have now been in
Haiti for about 90 days. In order
for me to continue living in Haiti, I need to leave the country and get my
passport stamped. Then, I may
return for another 90 days. I am so thankful that I was blessed with the
finances to leave the country. I
did not know where the needed $600 would come from, but prayed that the Lord
would provide for me. God is so
faithful and an anonymous donation of exactly $600 appeared in my missionary
donation account! Can you believe
it? The exact amount that was
needed appeared! Wow, God provides
for all of my needs and blesses me richly. Tomorrow, Jess and I will leave for the Dominican
Republic. We plan to take a coach
bus, about an 8 hour ride, to Santo Domingo. We will be taking a taxi to our hotel in Boca Chica. It will be a beautiful week of rest,
relaxation, exploring, and experiencing the other side of this beautiful
island. I will blog when I return
to let you know about my adventures.
