a little piece of Haiti =)

I get to see this cutie this week!
And I am very excited about it <3
I'll get to hold a little angel, and marvel at how amazing God is... to use something so tragic, and so heartwrenching, and to make it into beauty. Beautiful is 20 kids going home to Canada, 81 kids going home to the States, and 37 kids going to the Netherlands and Luxembourg. Beautiful is the families we met, eyes wet and bright, arms finally full with joy and love radiating off every smile and through every heart. Beautiful is that though families were torn, families were also created...
What a mighty God we serve.

that screams beautiful to me.

You say beauty comes from broken,
but how broken can they be
Forced from barely standing
to eating dust on battered knee

Hands raised in solemn surrender
as tears form puddles at their feet
I don't know about You,
but that screams beautiful to me

You say beauty comes from ashes,
but just how much can be burned
Left with charred remains of loved ones
and a grief they never earned

Voices rise with the blackest smoke
as they close their eyes to what they see
and I don't know about You
but that screams beautiful to me.

You say perfect comes in weakness,
but how much weak counts for alot
as their shoulders bear the weight of faith
that the rest of us forgot

Broken hearts turn to Your face,
as genuine as could be
and I don't know about You
but that screams beautiful to me.

A quiet, gentle spirit
with a monumental faith
Hands that raise to praise you
and a heart that seeks Your face

A love to conquer all
Unspoken faith for all to see
I know its beautiful to You,
and that screams beautiful to me.
