Inspired. I finally found a word to describe how I'm feeling & that is inspired. I am inspired by so many things here in Haiti - by the people who persevere through the hardship, by the volunteers who are doing so many good things, by the beauty of the countryside. It's all so inspiring to me...makes me want to make a change more than what I'm making now. Brittany especially is an inspiration. I have always felt called to long-term mission work, but it seemed to me that I would have to put my life on hold in order to do so. She shows me that it is quite the opposite. She has made another life here, one rich in fellowship and love. Being here does not hinder or threaten life at home. Rather, it enhances our experiences & makes us appreciate home all the more. Why be in a hurry to grow up and make life in America when spending time here and learning to appreciate will make my future life richer? God wants to use me, so why not now? Grad school can wait and so can the husband, home, & career.
Lord, show me your way...
