counting down....

Just a few more days, and i'll be back in Haiti! i'm really excited about being back, and to see what God's plans are for this trip.
I feel that God has called me to Haiti, and it's the one place where my heart seems to find the right rhythm. i know that it doesn't matter where i go; if God has called me there, i will be exactly where i belong - in the centre of God's will. And there's really not better place to be! Following God isn't always easy. there are challenges and bumps along the way; there are times when i have no idea what the next step is, and i'm simply waiting in limbo. However, i have discovered that often God has something to teach me through the waiting, and it may simply be to learn to 'worship while i wait' and to 'be content in whatever place i am'. God always comes through, and it's amazing to see how He works!
Now, the next step of my journey of life is to return to Haiti, the country that captured my heart nearly three years ago. A country filled with beautiful, vibrant, strong people who have experienced incredible hardship. A country that i believe God has a wonderful plan for - one that i pray will soon come to fulfillment. i will be seeing the devestation caused by the earthquake, smelling those distinctly 'Haiti' smells, seeing those familiar streets, hearing the wonderful sound of Haitian voices speaking Creol. and then i will be surrounded by kids who have experienced things i cannot understand; i may not understand, but i can love them. and i believe that is what God has called me to do.
As Anne Shirley says at the end of the Anne of Green Gables book, "i don't know what lies around the bend, but i'm going to believe that the best does".
