Haiti
My heart hurts, my eyes well up and my soul is crying to the Lord for Haiti. My children and husband sleep soundly in their rooms, my coffee is warm and my jammies are soft. My cat, for goodness sakes, lives in the lap of luxury. I can't wrap my brain around the devastation and the heartache that must be going on in that country. I read about a rural town called Leogane, in Haiti, that is not receiving support yet because the relief efforts are all going to Port au Prince. It seems hopeless, but I have to believe that God sees this, hates this and will "fix" this. "Jesus looked at them and said, With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26 This verse was a response made by Jesus after a question concerning salvation was asked. Jesus is mighty to save our souls and our bodies. He is mighty to save the Haitians, me, the teenage girl who thinks she's worthless, the mother who just screamed at her child (oh wait - I already said me), the African missionary, the African child who is without food, the man who just lost his job, the man who drinks way too much, the prostitute that is sick and tired of being a prostitute - He is mighty to save. I am encouraged. I am in love with that God that heals us all.
