Leaving.....

Tomorrow is the day that I will be flying out, and the next time I post it will be from Haiti. I am feeling anxious, because I feel like I have been talking about it so long and now it is here. I am so excited to walk into the orphanage Wednesday morning and see the children's faces. The faces that I have fallen in love with, even before I have met them. I am so excited for the children to smile back at me, and recognize me. I have three flights...the first one leaves tomorrow at 4 pm, and the third flight I will arrive in Haiti around 9:30 am Wednesday morning after a nine hour layover. God is so good, because he provided someone for me to meet up with in Florida for my layover, who is going to GLA the same day with me. It will be a blessing to go through customs with her. I couldn't have planned that better myself. This past weekend was very special because Sam and my family had a time of prayer together as we committed each one to the Lord this summer. I know that I will be supported in prayer, which is such a privilege and blessing to be part of the body of Christ. The children at this orphanage don't have a family to love them yet, but I pray that I can be the best temporary arms for these children until they receive a family to cherish them forever. It is hard to leave, but I know this is where my heart is this summer, and once I get there i know it will be amazing. I want to cherish each moment...because it will go fast. Thanks again for all your prayers :)
