Great things are happening!

It has been a fantastic week/weekend!

God is doing great things - and I am excited to be a part of it!

First off, I have been reading Oswald Chambers' My Utmost for His Highest, and it has really been challenging me. The last few days have talked about where, in Isaiah 6, we read of Isaiah essentially overhearing God asking, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” Isaiah responds with a sentence that many of us may remember: "Here am I, Lord, send me."

I was challenged by how Oswald looked at this situation. God was not saying, " Isaiah, will you go for me?" Instead, Isaiah essentially overhears God and when he hears of the need, Isaiah responds. How many of us take the time to listen for the calls that God puts out there? Are we eager to answer, no matter the call, "Here am I, send me"?

This whole idea challenges the idea of only certain people being called (to whatever, not just ministry/missions). The reality is that if we follow Jesus, we are called to serve Him with our lives. May we explore that today, and learn just what all that looks like and encompasses in our lives.

UPDATE: Walk of Hope for Haiti on Saturday-

News sources reported an attendance of 200. That was bigger than I thought! It was a GREAT group, and we had a good walk. I had my niece with me, and I think this was a good first 5k for a purpose experience for her, so that was fun to facilitate and watch. After the walk, we heard from Haitians familiar with the current state of their situation, as well as musicians sharing songs of hope, both in English and Kreyol. I also met a fellow missionary who I spoke with for a few minutes about her experiences serving as a nurse post earthquake. I hope to help her get back over there sometime soon to help more.

UPDATE: New Partners!

Just this weekend, several people committed to partner with me!

I have been praying for more people to pray, and that prayer has been answered in a big way already - I handed out about 7 prayer cards just today, to folks excited to pray for and with me, and for Haiti!

Also Mission:Haiti gained has gained three more monthly partners just since the last update! And someone also partnered with Mission:Haiti with a one-time gift!
