I watched myself become a different person today. I literally feel shocked because of it. This morning, all I was ready for and expecting was Haiti day four. That’s not what I got at all. I was up super early…maybe that was an indicator. Time to prep my heart. Got ready, ate a simple breakfast, then lathered on sunscreen and bug spray as I prepared for a long day laying pavers. Before long, I was being trained on how to cut the pavers. Me plus a skill saw didn’t seem like the best idea initially. But God thought I could do it. So I did. I cut all but one paver, and that was the one I watched. Intense? Yes. Awesome? Yes. Then I was off to teach English to children at the Church school. What a blessing. Each child was fearfully and wonderfully made. I loved them all so much. After lunch, I was back to cutting pavers, leading us to complete one walkway. That was a sense of accomplishment, my friends. Quick rinse off before we were off to teach in the adult beginning English class. Again, it was a blessing. What beautiful souls they all have. Leading with Jake, singing with the Haitians, watching them sing/sign “Jesus Loves Me…” wow. God is so awesome. After class, I met Jenny (aka Jenny from the block). I adore her. At 15 years old, she is wise and beautiful. She wants to be a doctor and I fully believe that she can do it. Jenny, you’re in my prayers always. Keep voting for Jesus. After class and dinner, the team bonded together to finish the other walkway. It was too dark for me to cut, and Chris and I have to make more pavers in the morning, but the bond our team has finished what we could. I love this team so much. Debrief was awesome…after almost six months of struggling with the UN, it looks as thought we may finally get the Church building tomorrow. PRAISE GOD! So how did today change me? I fell deeper in love with my Lord and Savior. I gained confidence. I found strength I never knew God had for me/had planned for me. I don’t feel sad. This is true happiness. God, you are awesome. I love you SO much.
