Six weeks late.

Hi friends and family! This blog is about six weeks late but I'm finally sitting down to update everyone on my time here at MOH. 
Let me start off by saying how good and divine God is. From the beginning of fundraising to today, sitting at the guesthouse I never forget how good my God is. He loves me. 
Honestly, the time has gone by too quick and I think my fellow intern family can vouch for that. It feels like yesterday I was at the Miami airport waiting to take off. 
I've never understood what it meant to be humbled by The Lord, until a few weeks ago in Minotrie my team and I had the opportunity to give an elderly woman a bath. She was suffering from Crohn's disease and was a vegetable, sitting in her wheelchair all day. I'm amazed at the teams I've worked with and how they selflessly serve the people of Haiti. 
Although this past week was rough I would not trade being here for anything. Being in the center of God's will is the most satisfying feeling ever. I'm not sure what will happen when I get back to Alamo in August, if I'll go back to school or pick up where I left off. I know I'll have a lot of stories to tell and a lot of catching up on the food I didn't eat. 
This morning in North American church I was sitting there and my thoughts were racing with where I'll be in August. I heard The Lord say "I know what you need." Letting God take the lead has always been a struggle for me, but ultimately He knows what I need when I haven't even thought of it yet. His love is everlasting and simple but burns so deep. 
When I saw the colorful houses and the Caribean sea under the airplane, I knew I was home. Haiti is my refuge and where my cup is refilled.
