its finally true...

i am leaving in 4 days and to be honest it is surreal. i have extended 2 times already and for some reason it feels like i should just extend indefinitely, but i have a peace about returning that is definitely from above. i know the Lord has plans for me back in the states, at least for awhile. its been crazy, but i have survived it all. Dorothy is back and its great. i really love her a lot...and am in awe of the opportunity i was so blessed to have serving with her. ya know i love having her back, but i wont lie i miss feeling so productive and in charge. i mean don't get me wrong i am relieved to not be the one really responsible for ALL these children, but i miss things. i felt so productive...always had something to do, whether it was administrative duties, mom duty, hospital duty, dog duty, nurse duty, errand running, house duty...so many things. in fact me and Dorothy have talked a lot about how it really is a two man job since she has been back. there were days where i couldn't have made it without the support around me that God so graciously provided me.

i am not sure i will be on again before i leave as i want to be as present as possible and spend my last few days really being with the community here. i will miss the staff, the kids, fellow missionaries all so much. please continue to keep them in your prayers despite my lack of me being here and all the blogging to update you on prayer needs.

i plan on keeping the blog and writing about my life, what God is teaching me and anything i fine out about Haiti. also i will continue to post Dorothy's updates as well.

words cannot express my gratitude for ALL the support, donations, encouragement, love and prayers you given to me and this community in Haiti while i have been here. may the Lord bless you and shine His face upon you.

LOVE LOVE LOVE...
I'm on my way back to you...
