She's at it again!!

Well folks, it's that time again...I'm on my way to Haiti :)

God has blessed me with the opportunity to go to Haiti for the third Christmas in a row!! I don't know how long I will be able to do this, so I am thankful for the chance to go back. It has been a roller coaster ride of up's and down's deciding and figuring out if I could make this happen. I was eager to go. Then reality hit...it cost money to go to Haiti. I asked for information about when I could come. I had specific dates that I could go and if that didn't work out then I couldn't go. I heard back from Jessica and she gave me a green light (Sign #1). Now all I had to do was find the funds. I work full-time now so I figured I would just save up for it. I guess lots of people travel during Christmas. Thanks people.

I was surprised by the prices, but then again not really. It is Christmas time and I did have to wait a while before deciding if I could even go. I was able to figure out a plan with my parents. When we went to buy the tickets and wow it was at the cheapest I had seen!! (Sign #2) Talk about blessings!!

I help with the 5th grade Sunday school kids at my church and all the teachers know that I go to Haiti often. We were talking about what Christmas means two weeks ago. I raised my hand and told them that I was going to Haiti for Christmas and that I think about others during Christmas. After church I find out that someone anonymously donated to my trip. Can you believe it?!? I received a check...for $100!!!! (Sign #3) Did I mention that I didn't ask anyone for money?!? God is SO good :)

I was checking my mail this week and I got a Christmas card from my aunt. Every year she sends a Christmas card for their family and I expect it to come. I saw it and opened it like normal. To my surprise she included a check for my trip...$100!!!! (Sign #4) Again I did NOT ask anyone for money. I was so thankful and just amazed at how God works :)

Needless to say I am convinced that I am supposed to be going to Haiti this Christmas. Please be praying for me as I get ready to journey to my second home!! :) I can't wait to see the kids!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!

Me, Kurt, Maggie, Jamie, Alex, Loni

I forgot to mention, Alex visited California for Thanksgiving and we took him to Disneyland!!!! :)
