{Haiti}

less than 24 hours. thats it. and i will no longer be in the U.S.

after almost a year ago committing to go on this trip i cannot believe that it is actually here.

my bags are all packed. my list for the roomies is finished. the school work is taken care of.

in 12 hours my flight will leave from Des Moines and i will be off to Port au Prince, Haiti for 10 days.

i cannot wait to go love on the haitian's! while there i get to have the opportunity to work in a clinic and use my medical background while furthering His kingdom. i have been toying with the idea for some time this year on how i am going to use my career in pharmacy and my heart for people and Jesus together. this trip is my opportunity to see the two passions of my life to come together.

i hope this trip shows me ways i can use both of these things for my future.

i am looking forward to meeting my team in the morning, since i have not met anyone besides my roommate. i am excited to find out where i am staying while in Haiti. i am excited to meet the people in the clinic and be able to help them with their needs.

mostly, i am excited to meet and love God's people in another country, and to see His love in the brokeness of one of the world's poorest countries.

so as a finish up my last minute packing and the little things left on my list i pray for safety for my trip. for relationships with my team and with the people i meet.  i pray for Jesus presence in all i do and over all the lives i encounter. i ask the holy spirit to show me where He is working everyday in everyway.

as i wake every morning while there i want this to be the song of my heart.

i am not sure about what kind of internet access i will have while there. but if possible i will update you all on the trip.

thank you all for the support, prayer, and love.

until next time.

many blessing!
