its good to be back...miss junior of course...miss haiti of course...but very good to be in georgia one of my many homes...as it oftens seems i am a nomad.. traveling here to there...but blessed by it none the less.
i have been back now for 10 days...a total of 20 days in the states now... wow seems like too many to be honest... but i have done much to make sure i am still helping in the efforts that are going on in the beautiful nation of haiti... i have spoke at 13 different engagements...some by myself and some with junior or MM. i have been interviewed for newspapers and one college television station. i have been praying CONSTANTLY of course. i have joined in the fast and seen God teach me some amazing things... as He teaches us ALL!
all that i have done and gone through has been through the grace of God and his provisions...thankfully, He is using me... i feel humbled and honored all at the same time.
i have not been able to sit down with beaver and kathy yet as things around here are really crazy. i will not be returning to my regular schedule of 2 days at the market place, 2 days at the baptist ministry center, 2 days at the coffee shop... not because i don't love those things, but beaver just got back and then both kathy and him leave with a team on the 20th, which is this saturday.
kathy really wants the market place to always have a face to haiti...someone who can answer questions on the phone and talk to people when they come in. for instance, a lady stumbled on us today who runs a newspaper in the area... i was there to explain to her what much ministries is about and our involvement in haiti.
therefore kathy has expressed that out of logistical reasons i am needed to be at MM home base the MP everyday if possible and to help man the fort while they are in Haiti. She thinks that this is how it will be until after march. it makes me sad, but i also know that when i go to haiti i am mainly working with dorothy (as of right now). i know that in terms of our missionaries there on the ground in Haiti, sherrie fausey is our main priority. her house is not livable and she has a larger scale of ministry than dorothy with not a finished building to do any of it in.
plus beaver is really working with other NGO's to create a consortium, where all the NGO's can come together and have communication to make things happen faster and do this rebuilding and restoration God thing together!! its very exciting!! a very BIG deal!!!
Beaver and Kathy will be there consistently non stop for the next year most likely. I hope that this will also include me, but i also haven't gotten a chance to talk with them...i think this more than likely will happen after they return from the trip coming up.
so there you have it...i have no return date to haiti...NOT out of want... i would be there in a heart beat as i am sure ALL of you know. however i know God makes all things work together for those who love him and i will wait upon the Lord...be present in the space he has me now and do my best to process and breathe while healing from a traumatic experience...7.0 earthquake... kind of a big thing to process
