Sorry has taken me so long to post this blog May 21, 2012 Well my friends I apologize that it has been a few months since I have sent an update out and here I am writing one sitting in Miami airport waiting to fly into Pourt-Au-Prince. I can’t believe how fast the last few months have flewn by and how much has happened in those few months (especially last 3 weeks). Lets just say my life is surely always an adventure and there is never a dull moment. Not sure where to even start….I guess I will start by filling you in on my personal life. About 2 weeks ago I put in my 2 week notice at work. God made it really clear that I could not do both Haiti and continue working that job. It was very hard to pull out as I had formed great relationship with many of my kids and their families. I had a handful of kids that had made tremendous progress in the last 9 months and it just hurt to let go. I am trusting God to bring a new therapist to take over my caseload who will be able to do even more for these kids and their families. I am still discerning God of where He is calling me to work next year. I plan to work for 1 more year to put money in savings to then be able to move to Haiti for at least a year beginning next summer. I am really feeling the call to be in Haiti for an extended period of time to really get things on the therapy end grounded and to be able to take fieldwork students (I currently have 4 students interested in doing a fieldwork in Haiti). 3 days before I was to leave for Haiti found out I needed to be completely moved out of my apartment before I left for Haiti (I was planning on moving out end of August)…It is a long story why. After a time of freaking out and 3 days of being completely overwhelmed I sit here looking back and can only stand in Awe of God as He showed me just how many AMAZING friends/people He has brought into my life since I moved to Vegas. I had so many friends come and help me pack and move all my stuff into storage. I got very little sleep. So at this point I semi have a job lined up for when I get back (as long as God confirms that is where He wants me) but if I take that job will not start till September 4th which means having ~5 weeks in PA with family and friends. I hope to travel and speak at churches while I am home and raise support as I plan on moving to Haiti next summer. I need to find to be fully funded by monthly sponsors by then :-) If I can get fully sponsored by end of this summer I could just move to Haiti now, which would meet some immediate needs and make me very happy! I mean all my stuff is already in storage..lol. Seriously though, I am putting it in God’s hands. At this point I am just EXCITED for the short 2 months I get in Haiti and what God has in store (though I have absolutely no idea what this summer looks like).
