7 Days back

In Haiti I had a great metaphor and here it is: as we drove to the Mission of Hope we saw the ocean and the mountains; in the mountains there was this windy road that lead up and over the mountain. We are going up that mountain. We are going up the mountain of Haiti. We want to understand, and help these wonderful people, but we cant do it alone. We need God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The bus driver is like God. He knows the way, and which way to go to our destination. Our Hope Rep/Leader Daniel, is like Jesus, he is with us telling us to be patient, and that everything is going to be okay. Our translators, Smith and Kensley, are like the Holy Spirit they make things possible. They break the language barrier. We couldn't get up the mountain without them. The road is hard and twisty. When one of us gets a flat tire we all get out and fix it. We encourage and help each other. When we are in a turn in the road we just got to have faith in God that we will make it. We have stops on the way. At the villages we connect and after each stop we have a better understanding when we make it to the top we have a great understanding. We may be going down the mountain now, but we do not have to be depressed about it. We get to share the good news that we experienced, and we have each other still. We are here for each other. If one of us is going through a hard time with leaving Haiti, we can talk to each other, and we are always there. Being home is a blessing because God has a plan for us.
