always changing
If there is one thing i've learned lately, it's that Haiti is ever changing in its safety... i mean, how would i ever know how safe it really is there, but it's easy to assume we'll be fine because the last 3 times I've been there nothing has happened. I bring this up because steve mentioned again that we're again, skipping Port-Au-Prince all-together. I told myself in the beginning that who knows what will happen, but when steve mentioned that we'll probably stay a stint there, it made me really happy. I took that too seriously and forgot that things change so quickly. I was looking forward to the possibility of staying up in Diogeone's house in Port. and watching the stars and city in the dark and seeing all the street lights from on high.
I have to remember that it still could inevitably change completely and be a trip to Belize, and that would be a hard switch for me to up and do. Obviously, it would be in God's plan, so things will be great either way, but to be preparing for Haiti for so long... wow, it would just be hard. But, I put my trust in my Jesus and know He knows my heart and can ready it for whatever he's got planned.
I lift up the team to you now Lord Jesus,
Break any walls that may be built up... may that be in our own hearts around certain issues or people or places. Bring us together in love and care... and bind us in your Holy Spirit so we may walk with you and serve with you and through you to those around us.
Show us your ways, so we may walk with you
show us your ways, our only hope is you
the cry of our hearts is to know you more
(i forget the rest of the words to this song... just popped into my head)
i love you lord, bring us there safely no matter what happens!
amen

Show me your ways, that I may walk with you. Show me your ways, I put my hope in you. The cry of my heart is to love you more, to live with the touch of your hand, stronger each day. Show me your ways. How fitting for this to pop into your head. I think it's a great prayer for your team in this time of change. I do still hurt with you, though. It's so easy to get used to the idea of something and have your mind and heart set on things happening a certain way. You will be used by God in amazing ways wherever you end up. :)
Thanks Erin... you're the best! :)
