{haiti day 1}
Dear Candice,
I'm on the plane to Port-Au-Prince. It's all real. The pilot just came on the speakers and said we're 100 miles away. It's acctually happening.
I don't know what to expect. I've never had to worry about safety. I've never had to deal with a language barrier. This is all so much to me.Ii don't know what to know. There is so much that is unknown. Part of me is afraid. But I know that I have nothing to fear. Psalm 56:18 says, "When I am afraid, I put my trust in You." So if and when I get in situations where I start to get scared, I will put my trust in Him.
I have a friend who has such a love and burning passion for Haiti and is so changed by what it did to him. Darden has been praying for me and encouraging me through the whole Haiti process. I was talking to him this morning when he asked me if i was anxious. I said yes, which is probably an understatement. I am nervous. I don't know what's going to happen or what this trip will bring. So after i told him that i was nervous, he replied, "Good. That means you're ready."
Am I? Am I ready to go and experience a third world country, let alone one of the most empoverished? I trust Darden. But I trust Jesus more. And I know for sure that I would not be here if God didn't think I was ready.
So here I go.
the moment I've been waiting for.
I love you.
Love,
Sara
