My head is swirling. The ground is shifting beneath my feet. Between the red lights at off-ramps and the dictate that I must wear a seat belt at all times while in my vehicle, I find myself at a crossroad and there is no turning back. I have lived my whole life feeling like I didn't quite belong. That changed May 15, 2006. I had been to Haiti several times before that with Missionary Flights Intn'l but had never left the airport. I always stood at the chainlink and looked outward longingly. On May 15, 2006 I excitedly left the airport for the first time and entered my new realm and my whole life changed. I couldn't stop thinking about Haiti. I now feel like I have a home and a calling. I spent my whole life wandering and seeking and learning and acquiring. Now I want to unload what I picked up along the way and put it all into service for the Lord in the hands and hearts and heads of my brothers and sisters in Haiti. Many things about Haiti and its past cause me to sob often. It is like a cool rain shower on a hot,hot day. Deliciously refreshing as it cools you on the outside and warms you on the inside. I am out of here and glad for it. The Lord has made it obvious for me where I need to be. I am moving to Haiti to rejoin my heart which jumped ship the very first time I set foot there. Taba 27 is where I will keep my solar panel but I must visit the entire country. I hope to be able to visit with all of you there and perhaps serve you in some small measure as the Lord directs me. Until then, nan Jezi, Blan
