I can't believe it's already the middle of our week here in Haiti. It has been an incredible experience so far. Our first three days at Well Being Orphanage were so great. The kids are just the sweetest. The smiles and hugs and kisses will definitely be remembered forever.
I just wanted to share what God has shown me the past few days. A couple of years ago, God told me that I was made for orphan care. But arriving here in Haiti, the first couple of days, I was extremly homesick. I was doubting my calling. It's hard to explain but I was just overwhelmed emotionally. While I was holding Moses at Well Being, I looked down at his smiling face and God just reaffirmed everything. I can't not do what God has created me to do because I'm scared or uncomfortable. I know that someday, I will be the mother of an orphange because taking care of God's children will bring Him glory.
It has been amazing getting to know these children. It's so comforting to think about the fact that God created each and every one of them and is taking care of them. Yes, they may not have an abundance of luxuries but our Father is providing their needs.
I can't wait to see what's next on our journey.
