the decision was made for Pat and I to put this trip to haiti in motion 10 months ago {when this photo was taken.}
we are headed to the pastor (and his orphanage) that pat visited 2 years ago. since that time, our church has been supporting them financially on a monthly basis. but it's hard to communicate well. we feel like we need to GO and SEE and HEAR face to face. so we are.
my first answer was, "no." it was during the same season that this {adorable} kid was causing all kinds of havoc in our hearts and home that eventually led to us pulling him out of school. i couldn't imagine how saying, "yes" would be a good, or right, thing. my fear (and wanting to be "in control") took over.
but then i prayed about it.
and He said, "yes." so i said, "yes."
and we've never looked back.
there are 5 of us going on this trip. it was "supposed" to be 6, but 1 is growing a baby in her body and needs to take good care of herself here.
so that's how this trip began to be. i'll share more about our agenda tomorrow :-)
