Matthew 20:28

"Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve."

I am about to embrace a remarkable journey that God has planned for my life. I leave for Haiti in 1 day. God has been preparing my heart for a while now, and i am more than ready to share His name, His fame, and His love to my brothers and sisters in Haiti.  Something that has been so clear to me as I reflect back on this year is that God works in mysterious ways. He has shaken my world up this past year as I have gone through so many changes and challenges that I never pictured happening. In the midst of the change, and the heartbreak; in the midst of all the confusion and the hardships life threw at me, God knew exactly what He was doing. He was preparing me for my mission in Haiti.  People ask me all the time, "How has your year been?" I always say, "It has been the hardest year of my life, but definitely the best." Through the dark days, and trying to overcome the challenges, I got to know my Savior more and more each day. I didn't just know Him as God, but i began to know Him as my EVERYTHING. He is my healer, my father, my strength, my love, and He truly is the only thing I need in this life. When you rest if Gods arms everyday, and give Him every ounce of you, you begin to feel His presence. You begin to hear Him, and get a glimpse of what all He has in store for you...it's beautiful. It took God moving my world upside down for me to understand exactly where He wants me. Iv'e learned that it might take your dreams being moved, having the ones you love leave, and your plans not going your way to understand His mission for your life; It might take a lot of tears, a lot of prayer, and more trust than you can imagine, but in the end you know that God keeps His promises. And that is that He will never mislead you. God will never forsake you. He will give and take away, and place you where you need to be placed.  You have to trust that it's not to harm you, or hurt you, but it's to reveal to you His perfect plan for your life.
So with all that said, I know that this journey I am about to face was all a part of His plan. God has taken away a lot of things in my life this year, but I know it's because He wanted me to have clear vision of the mission He planned for me. So as I go and carry His name to Haiti, I am certain that it is where I am supposed to be. It is where He has sent me. I will be holding the hands of many children, I will be helping them express themselves through the beauty of art and dance. I will be helping restore the broken hearts and help rebuild what has been destroyed. I will be sharing the good news of the gospel, and through it all I will be praising, and magnifying our Lord, Jesus Christ. Please continue to pray for me during my time in Haiti. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and continued to cover me with prayer. I am beyond Blessed.
