Haiti



I can't stop thinking about Haiti. My heart has never been so broken for another nation in the midst of such a tragedy. Devin and I know that God is calling us to do something. We're not sure what He wants us to do yet, but we know that He is pulling at our hearts for a reason. We are in much prayer for the nation of Haiti, and hope that God uses this tragedy to impact Haiti in a powerful way, that will change Haiti forever. I know they will be affected by the loss of family and others they know, but I am praying a BIG prayer (why not? We serve a BIG God, don't we?), that God would capture hearts like never before. That they would turn away from evil like their belief in Voodoo, and that God would use believers to speak the simple but magnificent message of Jesus Christ. I pray for healing and restoration. I am so thankful for the Nations that have stepped in to help. I hope that Devin and I can do something to help also. For now, we are praying for answers as to how He is calling us to help the people of Haiti.

God spoke so powerfully to my heart through this. I have been so frustrated because my house is still empty, we have no furniture yet. When I saw pictures of Haiti, and heard about the poverty there, I realized.. I am beyond blessed. He has given me everything I need. I am so thankful, He has taken my desire for "things" away. I pray that God would continue to change my wicked heart, and make it beautiful in His sight. I am so thankful for the new perspective I have been given through this.
