Hello Everyone! Well for all of you who have been following my life :-) I have officially made my big move to Haiti! I have been here for two weeks now and with each moment that I am here I understand more and more that I am exactly where I am supposed to be. For so long I fought with whether or not to finish a four year college degree or if I should get some sort of "missions training" before I jumped into missions full-time. But now I know, all of the excuses I made up and road blocks that kept getting threw at me were Satan's attempts to make me step out of God's will! Praise God I didn't listen! Thank you all for your prayers!

Last Saturday and Sunday we had the Christmas parties for the boys home and then for the Creche and both went amazing! For the kids who have just recently come to the mission, these gifts were the first they have ever received! To see the smiles on those childrens faces is something that can never be replaced! Thanks again to those of you who played a part in making Christmas for these children so wonderful.

As I walked through the market place in a nearby town today with some other missionaries, I began looking in the faces of the children as I walked. We had been explaining to a visitor of them mission how some kids are only able to eat maybe two or three times a week. As I looked at the faces of all of these kids and thought aobut that fact I saw the face of one of the girls at the Creche. It looked to much like her that I had to take a second glance and hold myself back from running over to get her, pick her up, hold her, and love her. This has happened a couple times as I have been here. Walking through town I have seen the faces of some of our kids at our home. As I do my heart goes out for the children of Haiti. I want to love them and I find myself wanting to "give the world" to each one I see. However, most importantly they need Jesus. Please pray for me as I continue to seek God's will for my life here.

With each and every hug and each and every smile that I give and receive daily I am reminded of why I am here. I am not here to help "run a mission," or to help feed a bunch of kids until their adoptions are complete. I am here to show Father's love to His precious children here in Haiti and while I have left my family in the States to follow Him, please know that I have not left my comfort zone, I have found it!

God bless you all and thank you for your prayers!

This is my heart... for Him!!
