A Night in the Life of a Haitian...When I started this fundraiser, I was beyond excited. It would be a way for people to connect themselves to Haiti, instead of blindly giving money without knowing what it was accomplishing, or how great the need. Yes, God put it on my heart to make this happen.
It's happening... in one weeks time, there will be tents pitched and stories shared! And this is exciting...
This whole experience has been humbling for me... I guess, when I initially started out, I pictured this fundraiser going city-wide. I hoped for a huge response. But God set up obstacles along the way. We couldn't advertise the way JESSICA wanted. We couldn't reach as many people as JESSICA wanted. People I had depended on to be there, won't be. People I wanted to match my passion, didn't. And along the way, I let it become about me.
In one week, there might be five of us tenting. There might be fifteen. There might be fifty. I don't really know who God will touch to be there.
But God... this isn't about me, and I'm sorry for imposing my expectations on Your plan. Use this for YOUR glory, to express love in abundance to YOUR people, and to change the lives of people here in YOUR name. There would be no hope in Haiti without You, and I pray that no matter how big or how small the number of attenders may be, no matter how much the money totals out to, no matter the mishaps along the way, that YOUR WILL BE DONE. No matter the result, I will have accomplished this in Your power, not my own. Thank you for giving me opportunities to share your childrens cry, and thank you for opening my eyes to indescribable faith... I love you. Amen!
