One Month In Haiti

It's been just over a month since I moved to Haiti, though sometimes it seems like a lifetime ago that I was in Florida. I have no idea how to sum up the first month here.  I didn't expect the transition to be easy, but it has been much harder than I anticipated. There have been good days. There have been bad days. But there hasn't been a single day that I've doubted that I'm right where God wants me to be.

Sometimes I find myself just stopping to think how incredibly lucky I am to live the life that I do. Don’t get me wrong, life in Haiti comes with its fair share of challenges, but it’s full of a lot of beauty and grace too. Feeding a baby, dancing with a room full of toddlers, playing with kids beneath the mango tree, these are the little moments that fill up my days. I am so glad that God called me to Haiti, to Children of the Promise. This calling isn’t always easy, but it’s worth it. These kids are so very worth it. I live a blessed life indeed.

"Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” -1 Corinthians 15:58
