Priye Pou Ayiti (Pray For Haiti)



As many of you know, I lived in Haiti for almost 6 months. I learned the language, the culture and I learned of the poverty. I came to love the children, the women and the missionaries I worked with. Now, if you've been following along on Facebook or looking in on the news, you'll know that there is a hurricane going through Haiti right now.

This isn't a long blog, merely just one to show you some pictures of the people and place that I love. Please join me in praying for Haiti this week and even longer than that. Yes, there is a hurricane right now, but Haiti is a constant hurricane of spiritual and physical battle between voodoo and Christianity and poverty and richness.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for this amazing place that has captured my heart!

Mommy For A Weekend (A Lesson On Grace & Patience)

Image
As I've reflected over my weekend I can't help but want to both laugh and cry.      To backtrack, my youngest sister Mia was life-flighted to MOTT's Children's Hospital in Michigan  on Thursday June 2nd. I was out at the movies with a friend and was messaged by my mother informing me that the pain Mia had been feeling after her heart surgery was due to fluid buildup. After further investigation they decided to take her to MOTT for admittance. My mom would be in the helicopter with her but my dad was going to drive up. After the movie I met him at a gas station to switch cars and that was the beginning of it all. I was handed some money and told "good luck." It was my turn to watch the littles....Anna May (8) and Ella (6). My grandma had been kindly watching the girls for me as I was out having fun so I dropped off my friend and raced home so she could get back to her place. I had some other things planned so my parents helped create a schedule and it look...

My Story Of Depression

Image
I've been wanting to write about my story for months....but wasn't quite sure what to write. This is such a delicate subject, and not just for me, but I think for everyone on this earth. You simply utter the word "depression" and the mood changes in the air. It's a very real, very horrible thing that is on this earth. I recently watched the movie "Ragamuffin" it is a documentary of the life of Rich Mullins, the writer of many popular worship songs. Throughout his entire career he suffered with loneliness, drinking and depression. Watching this movie encouraged me to share my story that I've kept quiet for a year now. It's time to tell more than just a few people, it's time to share with everyone and show them what Jesus did in my life. So, here goes....my story, and not even my story, but a story that belongs to Jesus. ______________________________________________________________________ I don't remember how old I was, maybe 13, 14? ...

Footprints In The Sand

Summer time is one of my favorite times of the year! You know that saying? The one that says "Hair gets lighter. Skin gets darker. Water gets warmer. Drinks get colder. Music gets louder. Nights get longer. Life gets better." Yeah, that one! It's so true on so many levels! Summertime is beautiful! The breeze blowing people's hair around, the sun making everyone a beautiful tan color. Not to mention all of the icecream! My family lives for Summer!  I've learned that even though every summer is different I still look forward to it each and every year. This summer has been a little bit of a challenge for me. It's my first summer without a singing tour with my amazing choir and friends. It's my first summer that I've really began to focus on my faith. My first summer where I'm really beginning to figure out who I am separately from my parents and family.  Not to mention, I'm a young adult now and am trying to find other young adults to fellowship w...
