It may be because I’m very tired and it’s 6am. It may be the fact that I will be gone for a year. But there’s a lot of emotions going around my head. A part of me wants to cry, go home, hug my mom and snuggle in my bed. Another part of me can’t wait to hug those beautiful Haitian children and get down and dirty with them. The last part of me is saying, God, what in the world have you gotten me into?! God’s really teaching me through these crazy days that it really is our choice what we do next. We can chose to stay in our comfort zone OR we can jump into faith and trust as He surrounds us with the unknown. It’s the hardest decsion I’ve ever made. It’s hard and tears come, and I KNOW I will want to give up BUT that’s when God’s breakthrough will come. and that’s what I want. HIS BREAKTHROUGH.
