And yet, this long pause of keyboard and pen has been necessary.
For in the days to come, there will be many words, too many I fear. Because what I have seen from the comfort of my living room, I will soon experience in the rawness of reality. The images that have been softened for public consumption will become tempered by the fires of life.
Since the earth began its dance beneath this tiny island in January, I have wanted to go. In the days to come, March 15 to be exact, my feet will leave the familiar for grace of the unknown.
I am beginning to understand that my wordless moments have been a needed preparation. So, I beg for your grace for a bit longer and your prayers for my upcoming trip to Haiti.

Wordless is a time of filling up on Him, HIS words and living in His quiet habitation. It's ok to be quiet. When the words come, we'll be here. See you then.
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for you. God is going before you to prepare your way. May you feel His comfort and peace as you step out. Be blessed my friend. CC

Your obedience is inspiring sister. Praying for the Lord's guidance, protection and discernment to cover you at all times. I've been busy and I just want to pay you a visit and leave a warm hello. God bless you always. Can't wait what the Lord has in store for you. How awesome to be able to bring and reflect His light in that dark place. Take care sister!
