So many other things have happened though that we don't feel at all guilty like we would back home. That will be likely the most important lesson that we all learned while down here. Everything that happens and what we should be focusing on in our lives is on God's timing not ours.
The other thing we will miss is this blogging time, because it forces us to sit and reflect on the day, what we learned, the mistakes we made, and how God has been in our day whether we noticed or not.
Yesterday we experienced another after shock later in the day. The Haitians that were here were very frightened. The clinic was on so there were many people inside the building. They all screamed and scattered outside very quickly. I was unsure what was going on; the panicked frenzy confused me more than the tremor. It brought to reality the horrible experience they had already endured with the deadly earthquake and how fresh it still was. I cannot fathom living with such a fear on a daily basis compounded by the poverty and brokenness here in Haiti.
We did forget to mention that the kids were up early (6am) on Friday morning to help in the kitchen. It was pancake day and Anica wanted to get the recipe for both the pancakes and the syrup. They both had a great time and the ladies in the kitchen enjoyed the help. We will share the recipe for these pancakes when we get back. You can take two, but you can only finish one.
Only four more sleeps before we start our journey home, not that any of us are counting!
We will share James 1:25 with you.
"But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don't forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it."
Noah, Anica, Nicole and Charles
