Thank God for delays

The last 24hrs have been so rediculous but in an amazing way. I laugh everytime I think about it. First, my flight was delayed from Miami to Port au Prince. We kept waiting and waiting and even changed planes. Finally after a couple hours there was hope. We boarded the plane, buckled up and were ready....then the announcement came. "I am sorry to tell you this but an overheating light has come on and we are not able to fly this plane. So you will need to get off the plane." For real, could this day get any better? Well it actually got better despite my irritated attitude. I should tell you that I happened to sit next to this rad girl named Jessica, who lives in northern Haiti and works for a food distribution organization. We soon became buddies and we continued to wait for our plane to get fixed. Well after hours of continued waiting we finally decided that our plane was not going to be leaving anytime soon. So we (Jessica and I) went and asked the airlines if they would switch our flight...and that we did!! The best part was that we got our hotel and food paid for. I was able to get the rest I needed that I didn't even know I needed. I came to realize that delays aren't always such a bad thing and sometimes some really good things can come from them...like pillow top beds or new friends (thanks Jessica). And now I am back in Haiti and well rested!

P.S. As we were leaving today for take off water started spilling out of the wall. Like a waterfall. But it was just a leak from a fridge. So funny! We were able to leave...hallelujah!

Merci (Thank you)

Thank you. Two simple words that I definitely don't say enough. So I am going to say it now. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey. Words cannot express how grateful I am. A special thanks to my family for helping me out with so so much and just loving me! I would also like to say thanks to those at Capital Medical Center for the wonderful last year and cheering me on as I take this next adventure. And of course, thanks to my church family at Living Water, especially 242,for being so supportive and getting together supplies. I love you all and will miss you!!!

Merci

My First Blog!!!

This is my first blog ever! My hope it to use it so I can stay connected with those back home with me in Haiti. I am not the most technologically savvy person so I hope this blog is successful. :) The true test will be in a few days when I am in Haiti. So excited but admittedly nervous. God has big plans for restoration in Haiti and I am excited to be a small part of it. I may not always have Internet access but whenever I do I will keep you updated.
