Are You the Way Out?

It's been a little while since my last post. Funny how time has a way of getting away from you. With a full time job, three children, a husband and all that comes with it, your focus constantly shifts to the things that are immediate. As I think about this with a warm cup of coffee in my hand, comfy sofa under my tush, and Wipe Out on the television, I am reminded of how easy my life really is. Haitian life is so very different.


A home in Momance, Haiti.
Haitian Dirt Cookies. (made with real dirt)
Imagine a day when your only chore is simply to survive. You don't have a job because employment opportunities do not exist. Your stomach aches with hunger and you are weak. The last thing you ate was a simple piece of bread, two days ago. You do not find comfort in your home because your home has missing sections of roof, holes in the floor, and crumbling walls. Yet, other Haitians still consider you one of the lucky ones! You still have your limbs and health, though you don't know for how much longer. Your housing consists of more than plastic sheets and you can, at least, remember the last time you ate. Yet, you all have one thing in common. Each of you hopes for an opportunity. You know that money will only go so far and that in your country's current state, no amount of money will be enough to make a difference. The deficit is too great. BUT... If someone could give you the tools... If someone would show you the way... If someone would have a little faith in you... You could find your way out! You could build the future of Haiti! 

Who could that someone be? Where would that someone come from? What could that someone do? 

Back to reality... 
You can be that someone! The hope and faith comes from YOU! Your step in faith can change the life of many more than you know!
