This posting is kinda all over the place and isn't eloquent at all, but it does show where my heart is right now.
There are moments in life where there is no question that you are in the midst of God's will for You. That's the way I feel when I am here. I've felt God whispering in different ways all week, and I've tried my very best to listen and heed His every word. Yet, I'm still not sure what He is trying to say and to be honest, I'm truly annoyed by it.
Today, while all the kids were enjoying their snack durning VBS, I saw something that startled me so much, I knew that it was God trying to talk to me. I just don't know what.
Louna, one of the older girls that I have gotten to know this trip, took her snack and carefully, making sure none of the other kids saw her, tucked it under her skirt and into her underwear for safe keeping. I could have burst into tears. Louna, precious Louna. Seeing kids trying to hide their food isn't abnormal, but this was heart wrenching. I don't know what else to say about it, nor do I have an explanation for my feelings.
We were able to organize the clinic pharmacy today and I was once again reminded how blessed I am to have healthcare in the United States. These kids need someone here with them who can treat their spider bites, infected lacerations, and urinary tract infections
This trip wasn't meant to be medical, yet I have taken care of numerous children each day. This trip wasn't meant to make me question my life in the US, but it has. This trip, well, this trip has me praying about my future.
Pray for me tonight and ask God to speak clearly to me about His plan for me and Haiti.
Please.
Until every orphan has a home,
Lisa
