Something Crazy

Okay, I'm going to Haiti in 4 days. FOUR. DAYS.
  
This Thursday, I am going to Haiti to aid the Kimballs in caring for the many many children they have recently welcomed into their home. 
This is the family that I spent two months with this summer. They had 11 new children move in with them, in a new building. And last night they took in ten new babies because of an emergency situation. All of this on top of the kids they were already caring for. 
Too many to count! 

I had been starting to plan a trip for the end of February to be an extra pair of hands and another source of attention and love. But because of this recent addition, I felt like it was necessary for me to be getting on a plane as soon as possible. 

I know that this is all God and it's His perfect timing. I am just so thankful that I am able to say yes, and go as He has called me even with such spontaneity. 

As of right now, I am not at all sure when I will be returning. I am sure that it will be at least one month. I have only a departure ticket and will be purchasing a return ticket when I feel God's leading. 

I feel like this blog is scattered and hurried because that's kind of how I am right now! 

I just know that this is going to be so wonderful, hard, stretching, lovely, beautiful, good, and I know that God's glory is going to be shown. 

I need prayer! I thank you for all of your support in the past and I am asking for your continuation. Prayer for safety. Prayer for the Kimballs. Prayer for the babies, for the children. For financial provision. (This one is huge, as I was not prepared for such a trip as this so soon!)
  
Thank you for taking this journey with me. I cannot express how much your support means to me. 
P.S. I get to see my Haitian-American family so shortly! Eeep!
