Because that's how much more money I need for my trip. Not only was the entire cost of the trip provided, but God really showed off and provided the money for all of my vaccinations, my medications, domestic plane tickets, and for the extra supplies I need personally for the supplies! God is Good!! :)
5 days from now I will be on a plane on my way to Miami to meet my team, and head for Haiti. I am so excited to see what God has in store. Mesi Jezi.

Trusting
Time is quickly dwindling down for my trip to Haiti. I got to talk with my Encouragement Rep last night, which was wonderful. We talked for an hour about how incredible this trip is going to be, and how much we've seen God move just in the preparations. I know our God is into details, because of all the little things that He's worked out and put together in the past could of weeks for this trip. I'm not completely sure what I'm getting myself into, but I know that God has something amazing in store for me, and the rest of my team. He's been streching me and challenging me in areas of my life that need work, and need to be given up to Him, before I ever set foot on an airplane. I'm trusting that whatever He's going to do, He's preparing me for.
I've been reading several blogs from missionaries on the ground in Haiti, and trying to do some research, to learn about the people that I will be serving. I've read several, but one for Real Hope for Haiti somehow flew under my radar. However I came across them today, and as I read, my eyes landed on this entry. And I sat at my desk at work with tears rolling down my face. Here's the stupid, selfish conversation with God that went on in my head....
How could you allow something like this to happen? Why didn't she care??? What in the world do I have to offer someone who is dealing with such awful things? Doesn't it break your heart to see your children suffering like this? (and on and on...)
Thankfully, God know's I'm an idiot and knows that I don't understand alot. He just listens and then lets me know that, yes; it does hurt Him. This world is an imperfect place. He took this little girl to be with Him in the perfect place, where He can hold her and love on her and she will be taken care of. And then I heard This is why I'm sending you.
HUH?
I haven't had the chance to hash this out, or clarify what I'm getting from Him, so that clarification with specifics will have to wait. But one thing I know for sure is that I desire more. I want to do something that will help others on more than just a surface level. I feel like I'm being called to something different. And at this moment I have NO IDEA what that means. :) I know that God is leading me somewhere new, and somewhere that is going to strech me more than I ever thought possible. I told Martha (my Encouragement Rep) last night that I feel that this trip is just a first step toward a bigger picture for where God wants my life...
