So. I have been meaning for over three months now to write a newsletter about my trip to Haiti. I had such generous supporters going into that trip who deserve the most well written, inspired recount of my journey. But still, I have been unable to write it.
This morning Haiti and RENMEN (the orphanage we served in Port-au-Prince) were on my heart. I dream so often of the kids, and I hate waking up from those slumbers. I dream about visiting, I dream about hugging them, about dancing with them, about them pulling my blonde hairs out and putting them on their own heads. It’s such a lonely feeling not to have their beautiful faces and laughter all around me. So, I sat down to write my newsletter today. Instead, I made a video recounting my team’s experience there. It reawakened my heart to everything I will be doing on the race. Of all the people God has lined up to bring into my life. People who are going to change my life. Places and moments God has planned to change me. It’s wild to think that one month in Haiti changed me so much, how different will I be in a year? So excited to find out!
