From my reading this morning out of the book Radical:
God has created us to accomplish a radically global, supremely God exalting purpose with our lives. The formal definition of impact is "a forcible contact between two things," and God has designed our lives for a collision course with the world!
(Lord, make me an instrument for your glory, honor and praise!)
We went and visited Yellow School today. The schools have names, but since the quake, the schools are designated by the color shirts the students are suppose to wear. Visiting the kids was amazing! It was a private school, so they
literally just let the kids visit with us while we are there. The kids accept and give love in ways I have never seen. The love of a child is amazing. They are just looking for love and affection they usually do not get from home. I just love and admire these kids!
Another thing got to me at Yellow school today. A little girl was not feeling well. She was running a fever, throwing up and had diarrhea. They thought she might have malaria. But they couldn't get her clinical health for a good 24 hours. The hospital here in Petit Goave is not real great either. All we could do was pray over her, and for God to come down and heal her frail little body. It literally brought me to tears.
The landscape is crazy as well. Beautiful mountains, beautiful ocean water and ocean views, but the poverty is so unreal. It just puzzles me to the core how such a beautiful island can be in such turmoil. I just pray for the Haitian people that they open their eyes to what God has blessed them with, and in the end, praise Him for it, and use it for His glory.
(Lord, please use the people of Haiti to be a sign of hope in a sinful world. And let me be an instrument for you, so that you can use me to make this a reality.)
