home sweet home

Well, in case you didnt notice, I am back in Haiti. After 10 wonderful days in the States with family and friends I have made my way back "home". It definitely feels bittersweet and I imagine life usually feels that way when you go from one great thing to another. I will say this sweet little face below made the switch a whole lot easier. Good grief. I encourage you next time you are feeling grumpy, complaining, discontent or just normal to find this photo and look at that boy. I love my Dave.

 



Besides eating all my favorite foods and taking long hot showers, my time at home was extremely refreshing. I could go on and on about the amazing family and friends I am blessed to have. It makes things easier, possible and enjoyable when you have a support system behind you, praying, encouraging, bearing your burdens and joys. With that said I am ready to get back in it. I think I have gained a lot of perspective just by being removed for a few days and can see things with a bit more clarity and grace. I did forget however 1. how hot it is here 2. how many mosquitoes there are and 3. how much I have come to hate rice.

All those things aside and my dire need for diet coke today, I wouldnt trade these babies, this experience, this calling for all the diet coke and mellow mushroom in the world.

Pray for me today as I switched out my bottle of perfume with a can of deet. Regardless of how much longer I am here or what all I do, I know each lesson, each child, each day is just covered in purpose and grace. And I will come back and read that sentence on the day when I am so hungry, so tired, so hot and so frustrated. Because I know those moments will come, I have had PLENTY.

So, thats it for now. I am still recovering from travels yesterday getting back into rhythm so I am going to bed. Good Night!
