Waking up to more earthquakes is really just incomprehensible...
Chile was hit.
Is the Lord trying to shake up the world?!? Is it time for the WHOLE world to finally realize the truth?!? Trying to understand is like asking God how many hairs are on my head. What am I supposed to do?!? PRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tout ko mwen cho
Sometimes I wish my life was a musical. Every word would be sung and followed with dancing. Doesn't that sound like so much fun!! :) Except that it's not real...no one would just go around singing what they say...that would be weird.
Please go here to understand what living a musical would be like.
I have also decided that wearing "skater" shoes make me look like a 12 year old boy. And wearing "running" shoes make me look more like an adult. Haha!! A new favorite item from Disneyland is the cream cheese filled pretzel!! Wow this one is a keeper!!
I got to spend some time at Disneyland with two good friends. Not until now did I realize how privileged I am to even own a pass to the "happiest place on earth". How did they get that title anyways?!? I bet they have never been to Haiti. Don't get me wrong I grew-up on Disney so I like Disneyland a lot. But I just think one of the "happiest" places on earth would be Haiti :)
Speaking of Haiti...the rain is coming. Here is an article addressing the need for plumbing and potential new problems arising such as diseases.
It's just crazy and I feel like the problems are so HUGE right now. How can I possibly help...Lord may your hand be upon the nation of Haiti.
Don't forget!! Priye priye priye pou Ayiti!!!

A glimmer of hope
My mind seems to wander back and forth, but I always come back to Haiti. Ever since I left this past Christmas I was thinking and praying for all of the people I love. I first visited Haiti this past summer for camp. The kids were overjoyed with excitement for camp!! The Haitian people are strong and the kids have been through so much. I was so impressed at how much passion they have for worship!! AMAZING!! God is definitely using them to change the country of Haiti :)
My Christmas trip was filled with hugs, happiness, and hope!! Those kids are just so awesome you just have to meet them to fully understand their awesomeness!! God is doing so many great things in and through them. It's weird because I truly do feel like I have a second family in Haiti. I want to go back...I want to be there right now.
I was able to also celebrate the New Year there and I was blessed to celebrate with them. We brought in the new year on our knees praying and giving thanks to God for all He has given us. We also prayed for the coming year! Little did we know what was to come. We left January 2nd only ten days before the quake. Weird.
I first heard about the quake after work when I was checking facebook. I noticed that Lucas posted that Haiti just had a 7.0 earthquake. I thought WHAT?!?!? This is ridiculous!! Of all places to have an earthquake. It was surreal to think that Haiti...the country that I love and had just visited was in turmoil. Needless to say I was glued to CNN for about two weeks whether or not I enjoyed what they were saying or showing. My heart ached for the people and our kids. I wanted to be there to comfort them, love them, hug them. I heard that the country of Haiti has not had a catastrophe of this size in 200 years. At that moment I just wanted to cry...the kids must be so scared right now. They have no idea what it's like to be in an earthquake. I wanted to be there with them and cry with them. It felt like an eternity until we heard back from anyone.
During that first couple of days I was on facebook constantly, hoping to hear directly from someone in Haiti. The very next day a chat popped up from Markenson!! He said "hi how are you today" like nothing had happened. I was so happy at that moment!! God is so good!!
Through out this whole disaster there is a glimmer of hope for the nation of Haiti. Many have asked why did the houses of the Christians stay standing? Why were they protected? Haitians are looking for answers. Jesus IS the answer!! Mesi Jezi!!
I have also discovered how awesome Anderson Cooper is. Really. He is great!! Check out his recent blog about going back...yes going back to Haiti after most reporters have left.
Bondye Beni!!! <3

One Love
Soon and very soon
My King is coming
Robed in righteousness
And crowned with love
When I see Him
I shall be made like Him
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon
I'll be going To the place
He has prepared for me
There my sin erased
My shame forgotten
Soon and very soon
I will be with the One
I love With unveiled face
I'll see Him
There my soul will be satisfied
Soon and very soon
From the Hillsong United song: "Soon"
My King is coming
Robed in righteousness
And crowned with love
When I see Him
I shall be made like Him
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon
I'll be going To the place
He has prepared for me
There my sin erased
My shame forgotten
Soon and very soon
I will be with the One
I love With unveiled face
I'll see Him
There my soul will be satisfied
Soon and very soon
From the Hillsong United song: "Soon"
Soon and very soon I will be with the One I LOVE!!!!!! One of my favorite lyrics!! It's awesome to know how much God's love for us is :)
Don't forget...the people of Haiti still need our help!!!!
