You can only give God as much of you as you understand at that moment.
Our friends in Haiti continue to praise God and press forward in a country that is very difficult to find work and feed families. The remnants of the earthquake disaster will be felt for a long time. We saw some difficult things and heard many stories from hurting people. But we also heard many miracle stories. We saw a little girl that was pulled out from under a school that had fallen on her and she didn't have a scratch on her. Another young girl jumped off a collapsing building and a man caught her in his arms.
There were many other stories shared by people telling us how they lost everything and everyone.
It was a difficult trip. To be honest there were times our words sounded empty and meaningless. I would search the scripture to find what God wanted me to share to comfort and even then, the words seemed inadequate for the magnitude of what the men, women and children were living.
It was a time of trusting God for His faithfulness in others lives. God was the only thing they had to rely on, they had nothing else. We had to trust God because we were so inadequate.
Through it all God was directing our paths hearing our cry of help ( Isa.30;19)
We have children that have touched our lives and have left their little foot
prints on our hearts.
and remembering our ways are not His and we have to trust the Lord with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding...(prov. 3;5)
