Almost every day I get asked where do I want to teach when I am done with the MAT program. I get the honor to share with almost a new person every day that I will be moving to Haiti. Sometimes this throws people off; however, most of the time God opens doors to share what He has en stored for Haiti =) Haiti being the poorest country in the world has a mighty God watching over it, just like I do and you do. No matter where you are in life, God is watching over you, He loves you, and all He wants is for you to love Him. When I committed my life to Christ, I told him that whatever he had planned for me I would say yes. Was it always what I wanted? No, it was not- but it was what my Creator wanted which quickly changed to be what I wanted.
God has given me the biggest heart for kids. I love how they are willing to learn, that they want to know truth, they want to know life. I have had the honor to be around kids all this year by working in an elementary school. I strongly believe that God placed this hardworking year in my life for a reason. He has a mighty plan for Haiti, as He does for us all!
What life in Haiti will look like... I will be living with Noel and Lori Tugwell and their 4 kids. Noel and Lori are partnering with Outside the Bowl http://www.outsidethebowl.org/ which is an organization that helps feed the poor all around the world. In order for the people of Haiti to hear about Jesus they need their first physical need fulfilled which is food. Noel and Lori will be running two soup kitchens where thousands of people will be fed. I will be assisting with this project any chance I get!! However, I am going to teach their 4 beautiful children. I have never done home school, I have never seen home school taught, but I know God will show me exactly what needs to get done. I am beyond excited to be taken in with this wonderful family. God placed this desire on my heart about 5 years ago and now I get to see it take place. We serve a huge God and He can do more than my mind can even imagine! I have no idea what else He is going to have me do in Haiti but I do know that He has given me a heart for orphans. I plan on loving every child I come in contact with, so they can see a small glimpse of how Jesus loves them.
