We are moved out of our old house. God showed us that Port-Au-Prince was where we spent most of our time and that is where the Tugwell's needed to live. It puts them much closer to the super kitchen! The house we were living in was a temporary set up for the Tugwell's and the house they just put a contract on is a great family home! However, we still do not have our container so we cannot move into the house. We are currently living in the World Orphan guest house. It was so sweet to see the Haitians provide us housing when we didn't have a place to go. Not only are we here to serve them, but they returned the favor to serve us in our time of need. All of us are ready for structure and organization. I am so excited to move into the house because I can see many ministry opportunities, there are many American girls my age living in that area, a great school and orphanage and youth program I want to get involved with. Also, starting school with the supplies and curriculum sounds wonderful! However, we are patient with God's timing and continue to trust in Him even when times are hard- and this time of transition and waiting has been hard on all of us.
I have been focusing on Romans 5:4-5:
"Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."
and Psalm 32:7-8
"You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you."
This time has been a time to trust in God alone. He never takes us to a place to abandon us, but to teach us, guide us, fight for us, and bring us close to him. No matter where I am, I will never be home until the day I am face to face with my Father in Heaven.
