I'm going to Haiti in less than three weeks. That country is on the State Dept's "do not go unless essential" list! yeah, risky. Challenging as it will be my first time on a mission trip and I am also tasked with helping lead the young adults in the group. I think uncomfortable goes without speaking...though we'll have it better there than most people. I do believe I will experience God... :-) ! Haiti. I’m going to Haiti in less than three weeks.

We have decided to adopt another dog, bringing our total to 3. With 3 kids, 2 lizards, a bird & a hedhog it is for sure a challenge. We have noticed so many unwanted animals there are, with the economic crisis and foreclosures, dogs and cats are being left to fend for themselves at an alarming rate. We have room in our home and our heart, so we are going to do it! (again) Everyone, if you want to see what I am talking about check out Petfinder.com and search for the animals in your area.

We are visiting orphans, in hopes of bringing back the "community to community" sponsorship model (through Children's Hopechest) to our circles of influence here in the US(ie: my church, EBC). If you're reading this, please send a quick prayer up to the Big Guy on our behalf. It's so exciting to see how others are living "dangerously" for the Lord (especially Bonnie B).

I would love to do something like that with my girls some day tho. Right now I am trying to happily be there for my husband and daughters, head towards homeschooling them, and being type 1 diabetic adds its own challenge to my daily life that I'm not dealing with very well right now... so, hopefully I'm becoming the person God would have me to be in the process.
