"We are not called to be successful but to be faithful." - Mother Teresa
"People always want to define you by what you do. I started saying, 'I'm not too concerned with what I am going to do. I am more interested in who I am becoming. I want to be a lover of God and people.'" - Shane Claiborne, The Irresistible Revolution
These are just a few quotes that are surfacing in my head as I prepare my heart for the brokenness it will surely endure this next week. In less that 36 hours I set out to Haiti with six other friends. I had the privilege of going to work at the orphanage, Children of the Promise in Haiti last June. This time we're going to be working in a different orphanage, on the opposite side of Haiti I was at last year, and traveling through the rural mountain communities teaching VBS and playing games.
We're there for a week and I know the time will fly by. I already am hesitant to return. If I could stay long term I definitely would. I'll update you on stories and let you know how God is moving in Haiti when we return. Please be praying for my friends and the people we will meet during this trip. Pray for obedience on our part, and for us to have the boldness and courage of Esther. Pray for relationships to be formed and for friendships to develop. Pray.
