I bought my ticket!! I am leaving California the 3rd of January and arriving in Haiti the 4th. I am really excited about this. It is going to be so different but I am ready to go and be challenged and let God teach me. I really do not know how long I will stay and maybe I'm not supposed to know. Maybe I'm just supposed to go on faith and trust God that He will reveal to me when I should come back. I think I'll stick with that idea. :) I won't stress about it because it's in God's hands. Such a wonderful thing. I do know that sometime in the summer I will be in Minnesota so all my Minnesota people out there I will see you when I get back from Haiti, sorry I can't come before, but I gotta save money.
A year ago who would have ever dreamt that I would be going to Haiti for a few months?! Not me. Our plans are definitely not God's plans as I have seen in my life. God's plans are the best and I am glad mine don't work out all the time. God knows what He is doing as always. I have been really struck by God's sovereignty lately. In good and hard times He is always sovereign. Even when we think we should be somewhere else God shows us how His timing is always the best. He is in control. God is such a gracious God, seriously He is. He does not give us what we deserve at all. We go through hard times but they are nothing compared to what He could give us because of our sin. Thank the Lord that He has redeemed and saved us from our own sin. From my sin. It's amazing...God's love. Thank you Jesus.

I don't know if that is still hip lingo or not. Sorry about the Anonymous thing. As I said before, I am REALLY technically challenged. I didn't even know that about my blog.
Dear sweet Carrie, Jesus Christ oozes from your pores! I love you. You are so much a part of our family. It is fitting (to me) that you go and spend some time with the rest of our family! But we will miss you. I will miss a sister, Zach and the girls will miss a big sister, and Dave will miss a little sister!
