Positive Outlook

Spending the very short week back in Haiti with Marc, the leaders, the staff and the medical team was so refreshing. It stimulated again all the vision and heart in me for the work of the Lord there and renewed my sense of hope for the people. In the many talks I had with so many of our friends, hearing their experiences and stories, I found an underlying theme. One put it very well. Marc Eddy with a very positive attitude said that this earthquake has brought many to Christ, and if that was the only purpose in it all, the hardship and suffering are all worth it. He is so right. Many all too often forget God when life is easy, comfortable and void of conflict. It is when we are laid bare, stripped of all that God is able to grab hold of hearts best. Though there is a sense of fear of what may come, the many so dear to us in Haiti seem to be all the stronger in faith for what they have survived. It was a wonderful trip, one I can't wait to make again, as soon as possible and for a longer period. I am ready to go home, where my heart is.
