Romans 12:6- "In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.
Don't just pretend to love others. Really love them."
09/24/10 The time is fast approaching for our team of 11 or 12 to get better acquainted. Currently strangers not knowing each others strengths and weaknesses. In just two short weeks we will be bonded forever from a journey that changes us in ways we can't begin to predict.
This is my seventh trip to Haiti and each time I am touched more deeply than the trip before. I value the relationships that are being built and am excited to put my limited Creole to use. We will be having the same tap-tap (taxi) driver that we had last June. We became fast friends on our travel back and forth to LaBruyere and Lassoudray. I teach him English and he teaches me Creole. We test each other each morning with lessons from the previous day. I wonder if he is as exited as I am to see how much we have gained since we last met or what we still remember.
