10 days ago, I returned from a mission trip to Haiti. We were in Leogane, very close to the epicenter of the earthquake that hit in 2010. That was followed by a strong hurricane. The country was poor to begin with. Today, the people have a difficult time surviving. Many live in damaged homes with canvas- on-a-stick roofs. The image remains vividly I my mind of 4 small, pitiful, empty fish ( it looked like the meat had already been eaten) being fried over an outdoor fire. It was the day's meal for about 8 people. They lived in a canvas tent. When we asked how we could pray for them, they asked us to pray that they could have a home to live in. Did you hear that? A home. Any home!
We have so much! We say, "I need new shoes. I need new clothes. I need...I need...I need." Most people reading this blog don't know what true need is!
On my trip, I met a young woman, a college student, who is seeking the Lord's will for her life. She has just written her first blogpost, which is about what she learned from the trip to Haiti. I would like to share that with you.
