The day before I left to come here, my grandparents came by to say goodbye. They also gave me a little gold cross necklace. With the necklace was a little paragraph which basically said to listen. So whenever I feel my necklace, I am reminded to listen to God's voice. Despite the chaos of this culture and constant noises, Gods voice is quiet but powerful. All we have to do is listen. It's amazing the things you hear when you listen. He has made me aware of so many little things and has used them to teach me. There are so many things that God has taught me these past few days and here are a few.
1. Tuesday I was holding this little boy as I watched the children play at VBS. As I was sitting there watching, some music was playing and the words "Your grace is enough" were being repeated. I sat in awe of the power of that statement. His grace is more than enough.
2. That same little boy I held Tuesday, I held again today. He was the little boy who was sitting by himself. I went over to him and put my hands out to give him high fives and he fell into my arms. There he stayed collapsed in my arms just holding on all morning. This story reminds me of my love for My Father and how sometimes all I want to do is fall into His arms. Sometimes we all just need to fall. How awesome is it that we always have His arms to fall into!
3. The last little thing that I just love is a Haitian smile or laugh. The way their smiles light up their faces is completely contagious. I love riding through town and watching them smile!
Yesterday was Silmaine's birthday! Happy Birthday to this special girl!
Yesterday was quite an eventful day. Yesterday morning we did a VBS, then after lunch we went evangelizing(5 people accepted Christ), and then I got to go to a soccer game with all the older kids. We watched our friend, James, play. James is on his way to becoming a pro! The game was so much fun and an experience seeing a whole new side of Haiti! They take their soccer seriously!
Romans 8:39
"Neither height nor depths, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
