Finally in Haiti

The sun has risen. It is 6 am. The sky is light blue with wisps of white clouds scattered around. Hovering close to the mountains to the right of the apartment are puff clouds (my term not a scientific one) that are colored with lavender, soft gray and a soft creamy white. The air feels still. You can see a slight breeze moving the tops of the trees but you do not feel it's breath. The sound of traffic on Rte. 3 in front of the headquarters of the IPHC of Haiti is loud and constant. It became noticeable around 4 am. But apart from the goats, chickens and ducks out on the grounds Roger and I are alone here in the mission apartment. It is Saturday. We have been here 13 days. It all happened so fast! It wasn't the way we wanted to get here. Darrel C., our regional director had a heart attack in the D.R. They needed two teams coming to be hosted. Our donor report was fantastic in May so they said go, plan to stay! We were in South Alabama, had to head back to North Alabama, pack up the camper and pack for Haiti. We got the word on the 3rd and arrived in Port au Prince on the 9th. The first team arrived on the 11th. We were as prepared as we could be in a day and a half. But it went as well as could be expected. Plans changed on almost a daily basis due to vehicle issues(registration, repairs). But at the end of the trip, their leader said it was exactly the experience he wanted for this small group. God always knows doesn't he? So now, with more time to organize, clean, plan, and adjust, we wait for the next team to arrive on the 28th. My heart feels so mixed up though. My first grandchild is arriving in this world the first of the year and they will be in Alabama and I will be here. Do not misunderstand! I am where I want to be, where I am supposed to be. God will help me through these emotions. I learned a longs time ago not to make decisions based on my emotions. This is the first I have really written in a month. I wanted to do a Bible study on here. But when I tried, my mind would go blank. Guess this is just to be my place to express what I think and feel. And share God's Word where it applies.
