I Will Wait...

The medical mission trip has been cancelled. Certainly, this was the very best decision made for everyone involved. Even if the team were to safely travel down to Haiti and open clinic, the patients could not travel to see us. So, for now we will all wait. I will wait...

I will wait for another opportunity to serve our Lord. I will wait until the next time I can help the people of Haiti. I will wait to be able to pray and worship with a dedicated group of people willing to work for Three Angels. I will wait for another visit with the boys at St. Joesph's. I will wait until I can offer assistance to the students and faculty of Three Angels Christian Academy. I will wait until I can play with all the children at Angel House. And, I will wait for the moment I will once again see my sons Daniel and Jonathan, hold them in my arms and tell them, "Mwen renmen ou!"

Oh Colleen, I am saddened with you about this. I was worried that your trip may be canceled. Ours is soon also, and it too could be canceled. I pray that your time to go back will be soon, that you will be able to follow through with your calling to help with the medical missions! Praying for you!

Colleen, I was just thinkin' any chance that if our trip isn't canceled, you could make it with ours?

Dang, Colleen. I so hate to hear this. I was really praying things would blow over before next week. I am sorry you will have to wait a bit longer. I pray it won't be too long.

On a positive note it does sound like things have tapered off a bit there and some businesses are opening back up. Praise God for that!
