New fire burning...can't wait to share!

Remember THIS POST, you know about the not so great news of our trip to Haiti being cancelled. 

Well I said (and I quote):

At this point, in terms of making a decision I feel like I am at a fork in my road. Obviously, it's not time for me to decide so I'm excited to see what the year brings. I am going to pray about it and I KNOW that God will lead me in the direction I am supposed to go. I trust this.

Since this post (on April 18), my prayers have been: 'God show me a new path, open up a new road and show me the direction you wish for me to go, help me used all I have learned in a way that will serve you'  

GUESS WHAT....God has answered my prayers.  

My family and I will be busy on the long weekend (here in Canada), so stay tuned (it may not be until next week)!!!

Progress

What's up these days? 

It feels horrible not visiting this blog so much and writing updates :(

I miss all the excitement I felt at the beginning when our trip first got booked.

Here are some updates:

• I'm continuing to take Creole (official language in Haiti) lessons - in hopes that one day I will travel to Haiti and if anything else, to help our instructor out and to learn!
• Roland & Bernice are (most likely) going for almost 2 months in September/October time frame, VERY excited for them!
• We're preparing for a garage sale with LOTS of donated items to sell with ALL the proceeds going to New Missions - in Haiti to buy rice or help rebuild or help buy medical supplies.
• We are continuing to make jewelry - earrings, bracelets and now necklaces to sell (and getting a few orders here and there)...all this money will continue to go to buy rice & beans through New Missions in Haiti

So you see...even though I am no longer going on my trip, I can still do lots to help out!  I love doing it!
