Haiti Haiti

So I am going to Haiti 2 weeks from tomorrow and I can't wait. I am going with a group called Sustain Haiti. My friend introduced me to it last year. I really wanted to go last year but just didn't see
it possible. So when he brought it up this year again I decided I am going and
there is nothing that is going to stop me. I thought well the money won't be that hard to come up with because I have a good job but I knew I would have to do some saving!

Funny story is that I hadn't done my taxes yet when I decided to go back in April. I thought I would for sure owe the government money because I make way to much
for being single now that I am an RN. I was so scared of owing money that I held off as long as possible in doing my taxes. Inspiration maybe?? Well turns our the government
ended up owing me $2,156. Yeah those little suckas!!! It was $56 more than the
money I needed to go to Haiti! Well it was like an
answer to my prayers. I felt that
I needed to go and help these people and teach them what I know. But for some reason
I think I will be the one learning more then anything about what really is
important in life. Thank you god for putting this opportunity in my path and helping me to take it. I will put my whole self into this.

There are so many people that need a helping and loving hand out there. I have never done anything like this in my life, and I am so excited to go.
I know I may find a few spiders in my bed, or maybe get eaten by misquitos but
I don't care. I know that there will be lots of challenges, but I know a lot of good
is going to come from us being there. I can't wait to forget about myself and
think only of others constantly. These people live in such humble
circumstances. I can't wait to
learn more about the people who are in Haiti. We are all God's children, and we need to help one another realize our potentials. I hope that I can make a difference in
some small way. We are very blessed in our country. Let us all help in anyway that we can. One person does make a difference. The worth of souls is great in the site of God. :)
