'Music & Laughter will be the business of Heaven': beginings of bittersweeet.

Oh, this time of change I'm about to jump into...
I am excited and not excited at all.

I will be leaving some WONDERFUL relationships here, and missing out on some JOYFUL times in this country.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Hope Village Kids.. I could never express truly how much I have fallen in love with these precious ti moun (children in creole). From the babies to the teenagers, having them in my daily life has been a JOY.
I will be leaving some AMAZING staff! Seriously, loving the awesome people God has ordained to be in Haiti working for Mission of Hope. Incredible, love getting to know them! (interns included of course!!!!!)
I will be leaving some PRECIOUS Haitian women who work in 3 Cords... these ladies brighten my day even if I only get to stop in for 5 minutes. They are the sweeetest and i would trim fabric all day everyday just to be in their presence!
I will be missing out on CRAZYFUN, Haitian-baby-filled, crafty VBS days and the ridiculous stories that are inevitable with over 500 kids.
I will be leaving the most beautiful place I have ever been. people, landscape, stories of redemption and healing, all of it just beautiful.

Amidst all this amazingness I will be missing out on, I have a peace from God that is helping me not feel devestated. I KNOW I am coming back one day (the sooner the better!) and that I am supposed to be in Orlando and going to school. I also know I serve a God who loves me and CARES for me, he knows that I love this place, he has put this passion in me and he is not letting me be torn apart by leaving.... not that I won't be sad, believe me I WILL BE, but I still have hope. Hope in Jesus alone!

I have hope because I know Jesus is here. He was here way before I got here and will continue to be here way after I leave. He cares for Haitians more/better than I do, they are HIS. AND He will continue to care for me and show me his grace wherever I may be living or visiting.

MESI SENYE!
(Thank You God!)
