An excerpt from the writing I am doing. It is all coming together by the grace of God and we will be reading and talking about it starting April 2nd. I have asked God to send me into the dark, godless places and to equip me with what I need when I am there. It is really very simple. When you ask Him, He opens a door. And the best part—you just need to show up. I have been in situations where I am completely ill equipped in my flesh. I think God definitely calls us to places where we feel helpless, and then He gives us what we need moment by moment. Being in Haiti is one of those times for me. Most Haitians in the village where we go are thin, dark, very physically fit, quiet, and unassuming. I am, well, none of those. I slip on the mountain rocks on a regular basis, I cannot understand a lick of Creole, and I dont even realize how loud I am until I hear my own voice echoing through the building. Oh, and I have no rhythm. My lack of physical endurance got so bad on one of our hikes to a home up the mountain, that one of the Haitian teenagers asked me why Americans cannot walk very well. He did not know that we drive cars everywhere we go and that is why we are so out of shape. That was not one of my prouder moments, but Scripture says, That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses... For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10
