All day I have remembered different parts of eight weeks ago today when we boarded the plane headed to Haiti! Our "worldly possessions" were packed in 6 - 50 lb bags, 2 carryons and 2 shoulder bags. We did not know what to expect, but knew how God had blessed this next step in our lives by clearly making the path clear ... there are many pieces to our story that we will share over time, but what I keep thinking about is:
a. How God provided a buyer for our condo 10 days after it went online in a "down" market.
b. How God provided extra time off with pay/benefits by whispering in Gerritt's ear for us to give notice at our jobs when we did - I told my workplace on a Monday and my group was walked out the door that Friday.
c. How 10 years ago God planted a love for Haiti in both our hearts and now look where he brought us!
There are so many handprints in our lives that show this is where we were meant to be. There are (and will be) moments/hours/days I crave the familiarity of our lives before everything was switched around / turned upside down, however there is an undescribable comfort knowing I/we are where HE wants us. I'm so thankful to all of you for being a part of our lives and along for this adventure ~ stay tuned :)
