One Year
Word of the day: Pencils
All of us could be considered pencils. God is using us to make a beautiful masterpiece. We are a mere reflection of the inexpressible, indescribable, undeserving love that envelops all of humankind.
“I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.”- Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa put it so perfectly that we get to be a tool that is being used to write a love letter. This love letter that we get to be apart of is a beautiful song, a sweet whisper, and a caring smile.
Love can be an inexpressible language. Sometimes love cannot be contained in simple writing or any combination of words. From the very beginning love began because of the omniscience, omnipotent, omnipresent love that God sent to drive into the depths of each of your hearts. Many times man gets distracted or clouded visions of the hope that is within.
Today is JANUARY 12, 2011 and it has officially been 1 year since the earthquake.
Today I had the privilege to worship with over 10,000 Haitian people in a church service from 6am to 6pm.
Today I was able to connect with so many different people that I have missed over the Holiday break.
Today is a new day.
Currently Haiti needs our prayers for healing and continual restoration.

Returning back to Haiti has been a tough and honest reminder of how small my view was of God and the world. Today I was able to checkup with Gospel Fire Ministries and they told me all about Christmas party they had over the break with Camp Canaan. They told me about the children and how much fun they are having. It made me realize what I am here for and what a beautiful love letter we all get to be apart of.
It was hard saying “good-bye” to family and friends because I hard such an amazing time back in California. Thank you again to all of those I was able to see or talk to over the break.
