Haiti- August 6, 2013

There is such beauty and such pain in this place. At night, the sky is so clear, so unpolluted by city lights that you can see the milky way. But the streets are full of trash, wandering animals, and who knows what else.

Yesterday we had a VBS at a remote village (Bois de Gallette). We were the only car (big schoolbus to be exact) on the road. At a certain point the road ended in a gravel wash. From there we walked up to the church. Villagers were riding mules, bringing rice, beans and water up to their homes on the mountain. There were about 100 children, so precious. It warmed my heart to hear them singing praises to God, so full of joy and uninhibited in their love for Him.

I just love it here- free from the everyday distractions and able to have eyes wide open to see how God is working in small and big ways.
