Haiti

I was able to sit down today and look at footage and pictures from the devastation that has occurred. My heart breaks, and I am sick to my stomach at the heartbreak in that country. With that said we have had the beautiful opportunity to sponsor children through Compassion International and World Vision...one of these precious children is Ilfrat, from Haiti. We obviously don't know if he is okay, but it kills me to know what he is seeing right now at such a young age. My prayers go out to that nation. As tears flow, I am at a loss of words this day. I am praying for these precious people. I am praying that through this horrific event Christ may somehow be seen as the giver of all true peace. I pray that people that love Jesus will reach out in whatever way possible to these beautiful people.

On a precious three year old note...Eli told me today "I will not be overcome by evil" while we were doing puzzles. I had to ask him to repeat himself, because he said it in what sounded like might be a song...it was a truth I needed to be reminded of...we are in a battle with evil each day...it is a fight...so I leave you with this verse...Romans 12: 20-21
On the contrary:
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
