I feel like I can close my eyes and be there…all over again…remembering the feeling of the car shaking, Sr. Jesula falling in shock, me running to find Poutchino, the 24 hours confined to a hospital parking lot, all the emotions and heartbreak that was seen, the cries, screams, and prayers of all the people around us… and the days that followed…I think they will always be so vivid in my memory.
I have no doubt it is this way for millions of people, not only Haitians, but people all across the globe. I want us to look back over this year and remember those that lost their lives and are still dealing with the trauma and effects of that fateful day.
Wyclef Jean’s organization is encouraging people to take a moment of silence at 4:53pm, Orphan’s Matchbox, a blog, is having a virtual prayer gathering, the US Department of State will be giving a debriefing, some people will fast, some will pray, HAAFA is organizing a walk in Riverside Jacksonville to commemorate the anniversary…all sorts of people, families, communities, organizations and even governments will take time out of their day to commemorate this event in our world history…
Junior & I will be attending the walk in Jacksonville...but i encourage you to take part in some way.... tomorrow is not just an ordinary day...it is a day where over 2oo,000 people lost their lives, millions became homeless and amputee became a common word....but here is the thing...our GOD IS BIG....so He can transform all of it to bring glory beauty and honor to His name and all involved....
lets remember, commemorate, PRAY and speak life into this nation, the beauty that is there ready to rise from the rubble still there...
lets rejoice in the small things that have happened for good, the miracles going on everyday...and declare that 2011 be the year of growth, prosperity and GREAT GREAT things in the nation of Haiti.
MESI JEZI
Bondye...Ou ka fe tout bagay.
