It has been a while since I have posted to this blog as I have not been able to travel to Haiti for a while. This week I am off to Nueve Laredo, Mexico to help on a construction trip. The team is helping to build a home for a pastor and his family who are currently living with his wife’s parents. We are meant to meet up with another team who is building a church. Rumor has it that some of their team had to back out, so I suspect that there is plenty of work to get done.
I have mixed feelings about this trip. While I am glad to be able to participate in this trip, it highlights the fact that I am not able to go to Haiti. I continue to have a love for the people and country of Haiti and miss being able to visit. Traveling to Mexico almost feels like an acknowledgement that I won’t be able to visit Haiti for a long while, if ever again; and that saddens me.
This morning, I pray for the safety of my family while I am away and for the pastor and his family to which we are traveling. I pray for the people of Nuevo Laredo, their safety, and may they prosper. I pray for safe travels for our team and for many encounters blessed by the Holy Spirit. May God watch over all these and grant us His favor. Amen.
