Mission Impossible
Sometimes in my whining I ask God to do something I know is impossible. Forgetting of course that nothing is impossible for God.
Just a few days I ago I wrote a blog called “Back to the simple life.” In which I wrote these very words: “Maybe if I met some new people or made some new friends it would shake things up a bit, but where in Haiti can I meet new people?”
Well, the answer to that question is; at the end of a road, in a beautiful house with a green gate.
Yesterday we spent the day visiting with an awesome family. I had such a great time. It’s so wonderful to meet people who can understand the things you go through, laugh along with you through your mishaps, and share theirs too. You can swap stories about trying to barter in the market, or what to do when kids throw rocks at your dog. You can laugh at things others may find offensive (for a lack of understanding). There is an immediate connection with people who have led similar lives and been through similar situations. I even got to come home with a little something to plant in my vegetable garden.
It’s refreshing to be reminded that NOTHING is impossible for God and to be reminded that He hears me and cares enough about me to make days like yesterday possible.
