Praise of His Glory

When the alarm went off at 5 this morning my first thought was,"Am I pushing this team too hard today?" You see, we had just gone to bed around 2 AM after a day of delayed flights and airport food. I knew they were all exhausted, but I also knew that a beautiful day was already laid before us. 

During the morning devotional time I shared...so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. - Ephesians 1:12. This truth would set the stage of the day for me. Regardless of mental and physical fatigue we were set apart for this time in this beautiful country to simply be, the praise of his glory. 

The day was amazing, we got to meet an amazing group of people at a small village called Santa Alicia. Santa Alicia is more a people than a place, it is filled with beautiful Haitians who love the Lord and love each other. They welcomed us in, we helped mix and pour concrete for their knew church. We laughed together, struggled together with the language barrier and then laughed some more. The children played and I realized that I wasn't there to teach them anything, I was there to be taught. In their simple living, these beautiful people understand the Hope in which they have been called. The praise of His glory. 

What a day!

Blessings,
