Warfare
It's interesting every time I go to Haiti, I encounter some type of spiritual attack. This time is no different. The thing is I recognize exactly what I'm up against. The word says I'm more than a conqueror. I have my battle plan, Ephesians 6 and well, I guess I'm ready for battle. The devil hates it so much when you are walking in the Lord's will. He hates us anyway but anytime you are doing something for the Kingdom its like he has a panic attack and he starts causing trouble. Well I have news for him, my God is so much bigger and can handle anything that he wants to throw at me. See he hits you in your weak spots but see, the word also says when I am weak He is strong. Soooo, there ya go. I'm going to Haiti so he might as well just get over it! Lord thank you for loving me, I'm so thankful that I'm your daughter and I can hide in the shadow of your wing! :D

Love Hate relationships
Today I have discovered that I have a love hate relationship with....Walmart. I love the fact that its close to home, it has good prices and I can get almost anything I need there. I hate the fact that everytime I go to Walmart I go in with good intentions, I have a list and I swear I'm gonna stick to it. Within the first few aisles I've blown it. I go in for detergent and toothpaste, I go out with detergent, toothpaste, Little Debbies, air freshner, gum, a notebook and anything else that is in the middle of the floor. That's my thought for the day!

My first Blog
I decided to start blogging, because, well, everybody else was doing it. I know normally that is not a good reason to do anything, but this was a little different. Maybe I'll post something that will help someone else, who knows.
It's interesting to be starting this blog now. You see, in December of 2008 I made my first trip to Haiti. I've been three times since then. I fell in love with the people of Haiti and the children at the orphanage that we visit. As you may now last Tuesday a huge earthquake hit the country of Haiti. Their capital city of Port Au Prince was devastated. When I first started watching the news coverage of this tragedy, I felt so helpless, I wanted to do something. Two days later, the Lord laid on my heart that I was to go. Not only that I was to go but go for a month. I said Lord what about my family? He said do you trust me? I said what about the money? He said do you trust me? I said what about Chris? Again do you trust me. SO I said yes Lord I trust you. So I shared with my husband that I believe I was supposed to go. He said he wanted to pray about it. So we prayed about it together and we prayed about it on our own. His main concern was my safety. Well he was on his way home from work yesterday and he said the that an overwhelming peace just came over him and he believes I'm supposed to go too. So, I am answering the call. I'm stepping out in faith and trusting the Lord to make a way. So far, we have a neighbor that is so gracious to take our kids to school and bring them home. People have offered to feed them, and so far several people have said they would help me financially. God is so good. I am overwhelmed by His goodness. I am overwhelmed that He would choose me. I don't have a lot to offer. All I have to offer is the love of a mother and I can show them the love of Jesus! So, this is my first blog! I'll be writing more later! God Bless you all!
