14 years of loving Haiti
We have loved. We have lost. We have learned to hold people and places with open hands, coming to understand the fragility of it all.
People over projects
Occasionally weep deeply over the life you hoped would be. Grieve the losses. Then wash your face. Trust God. And embrace the life you have. John Piper
From 2013 to today
And I now know - without any doubt in my mind - that I am rooted and grounded to a place that has completely broken my heart and yet so perfectly healed my soul.
You are more than able
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21
The April Trip to Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haïtien
Holy places are dark places. It is life and strength, not knowledge and words, that we get in them. Holy wisdom is not clear and thin like water, but thick and dark like blood.
C.S. Lewis
You can’t go home again
And after yesterday, they each had assurance that they could always come back home again because no matter what might happen on the road ahead, each would always be deeply loved and accepted.
Connections of the heart
I can’t say we asked in faith “nothing wavering” because I know my faith wavered again and again. Yet God was always faithful.
