the gist
I'm not normal. I think you'll begin to see that when you start reading.
Normal girls my age are caught up in their new boyfriend or pair of frye boots. But me? I'm caught up in the grace that saved me from eternal destruction and the Man who gave me that grace. To put it simply, I'm crazy about my God.
And that's not normal.
Behind every action, lies motivation. So what's my motivation?
I want to provide everyone with access to see that God loves them. I want people to know the thoughts and conflicts that cloud my naive mind...

going home
Dear Candice,
My prayers have been answered. I got the e-mail yesterday that said I've been put on a trip to go back to Haiti in June. My friend Mady called me and asked if I had gotten the e-mail so I went and checked and called her back. I was completly beside myself, and I still am. We sat on the phone for a little while going back to some memories of our last tip.
We laughed.
We cried.
We praised God.
For some reason, I've had this strange feeling that I wouldn't be going back this summer. I cried out to God every single day since I got back to Nashville last July that I would be able to go back.
Haiti is where my heart is. It's home.
I couldn't be happier to have the opportunity to go home.
I'm just speechless. This is just proof that God hears me. And I know that but sometimes I just need to be reasured of it. I'm definitely sure of it, thanks to things like this.
I'm so excited to embark on this long journey all over again. I know it won't be any easier, but I know that I will be changed even more. I'm more at peace now because I have more a feeling of what Haiti is like. I'm not alone in this journey either. I have been blessed with people around me who know what this is all like and people who I get to experience this amazing opportunity with for a second time.
I don't want to say that I know what to expect because I honestly don't know what kind of crazy stuff God is going to do in this, I just know that He's in the middle of all of it. He's in charge.
So here we go again.
I love you.
Love,
Sara
