The Lord is so awesome. I don’t just say that as just some passing fancy, but with a testimony to go along with it. I remember I had a thought once back in my childhood in which entailed me traveling on a missions trip to a distant country to help those in need. Of course this was just one of those thoughts that quickly came and went. Not once did I ever conceive that this little school boy dream could become a reality later on, with the events leading up to it laying the foundations and preparing me for exactly that. Thats the way God works. He strategically places people and circumstances in our lives in a certain order to directly influence us and make decisions based on His calling.
It has truly been and honor and a blessing to share this past week of worship and praise with the awesome people of Haiti. There are those whom I have not had the pleasure to meet and the ones that I have met, I have not had the time to get to know as much as I would like. However, what started out as a simple greeting with a handshake, has transformed into a fellowship that I can carry with me now and forever.

If there is anything that I can bring back from this experience, it would be the self-confidence in knowing that I achieved what the Lord called me to do and the encouragement to continue to answer the call. For this is just the end of the chapter. Another turning of a page with much more yet to be written. Much more seed is yet to be sewn.
I thank the Lord for all that He has done and all that He continues to do through me. I don’t care to receive recognition for what I do. I do what I do because I care. It is who I am. My holy discontent. And I give all the glory to God.
