A lot has happened in four months...

I think back to how unsettled I was at the beginning of January and how far God has brought me and how He is directing my path and frankly, I am amazed.

So much has been clarified and so much remains unseen and unheard. I know my next steps, but there are also many longings in my heart which remain unfulfilled.

But He will always be enough.

God has come so close lately. I find myself wrapped in an embrace so constantly. It makes me weep a lot of times.

He knows what we need, even when our moms lose their job and dads feel hopeless. He knows what we need when our little sisters are self absorbed junior highers and the guy we like asks the other girl to the dance. He knows what we need when we are very far from the country and people we love...HE KNOWS.

I'm tired...I need Him.

Long Time, No Write :)

Mmmm...it's been a while since I've written...

God has brought me a long way since January. That time in my life was so uncertain....I didn't have a plan or any vestiges of a plan either--I was graduating in FOUR MONTHS and I had no clue where I was going!!! I was basically terrified (I even cried in front of my grandma... :)

But NOW...I can see the future...tiny bits and pieces, very hopeful things. I know God sees my heart ad my love for Haiti and He has such good plans for that country and He wants me to play some part in all of this...He knows what my future holds, who I will marry, where I'll end up in 10 years...and so that's all going to turn out okay, because He is the one holding it all together and moving through it all perfectly. I have seen His perfect timing at work in my life so often...I don't doubt that He'll continue to move as I wait and lean into Him...

I was in Haiti last week...nothing dramatic happened...but it was good. I know my heart, the heart God has been shaping and forming in me...its a heart for Haiti with all its troubles and worries, but also a heart for the whole world. Children need to be rescued in every country--people need to be fed in every nation--and people need to hear about Jesus everywhere!!!

So...we'll see where the future leads...lovely, hopeful, beautiful and pure...God has so much good ahead of me. I can't wait to begin to step into it all...with all the people He sends my way! I love that God never pushes us out into the dark unprepared. We are constantly--if we choose to stay near, listening to His voice and be surrendered to His will--being shaped and formed for what is ahead of us. So good!!! The steps I need to take will be set before me just as I need to step into them...in the meantime, I have hope and words from God that will sustain. I have been given all the strength I need to endure... :)
