Second Meeting ~ It is really happening!!!

Tonight I went to my second meeting in preparation for my travels to Haiti. It was an oddly overwhelming night. All I could think about was wanting to be there right now helping and doing what I love most.... nurturing children, helping the ill, caring for someone who is scared, making a difference in one persons life. My heart was breaking inside more than most days when I think about Haiti. I watch the videos and look at the pictures, I see children that are the same age as my own children starving.... unclothed...injured....lonley.... dying. I have been lost in thought over the past few weeks in how I'm going to deal with these raw emotions of seeing Gods children suffering and after listening to Jeff speak tonight has really put a new light on some of the thoughts I have been having. I know I am not alone in this and that is why I'm choosing to Blog about what is really going on in my life and how I am honestly feeling for the world to read. I hope it will help me grow in my journey and I hope one person can take a little piece of what I am doing and find strength to be obedient to Gods calling.... to follow your spiritual gifts and use them to help others.

The reality of the trip hit full force tonight as I turned in the first payment for our trip. This is it, it is really happening! It was almost unreal until that envelope was turned in, and at that moment I new what I was doing was right! It felt amazing to know that I am going to help others who so desperately need it. I want to thank those of you who are helping me with a financial contribution or a prayer partner, it is so very much appreciated. You are apart of a bigger picture. Know that you are helping a child, adult and elder feel love & care. I can not do this alone, everyone praying for this journey you are appreciated every single day. We are all apart of something amazing.

The next step is to do some more fundraising, I have $750 left to go. I have faith that I will make my goal. I am planing a few Spa days where I am going to give a Special mani & pedi. I am still working on the details of that so if you are interested please email me so I can let you know once I have everything finalized and I will also post on here too. With fall approaching I am going to be making home made apple pies.... I know... kinda cheesy but who does not like a good hot apple pie on a crisp cool fall day!!! And knowing it was for a good cause! Even better! So again I will post on here when those will be ready, you can email if you are interested in one as well :)

If anyone has comments I would love to hear them ~ I would love to answer any questions too!!
Other than that 2 months 2 weeks & 6 days till Haiti.
