Home Sweet Home

Seriously.  Every time I sit down to draft a sweet and simple update to answer "What is going on in Haiti" my brain starts doing jumps and flips.  There are so many things to talk about... so many stories of what God is doing here, of the friendships that are forming, and the memories that are shaping.  I'll do my best to give an inkling of an idea..
First of all.. just want you all to know that I had the opportunity to bake.  Oh yes, and if you go to 'portauprincedts.wordpress.com' you will be able to see a lovely picture.  Myself and two wonderful women did all we could.  It was for the celebration of June birthdays.  Before presenting the cake I was sure to let everyone know the reason it looked the way it did.  God gave us creativity.  We were shooting for an abstract look, and look what we got!  A work of art, to say the least.
Last weekend we were free to do what we wanted, as all weekends are, and then Monday was a day at the beach in a small town a couple of hours outside of Port au Prince.  An allergy fit attacked me for a couple of days (which is weird since I don't have allergies), but after bunches of prayers and a booster from some drugs, I was back to normal in no time.  This past week our DTS family uprooted and moved to the DTS base in St. Marc.  It definitely had perks.  We could flush the toilets, and the water for showers came out of a spicket thingy hanging above our heads when we pulled down on a lever.  So running water was a treat. They also had a swimming pool worthy of swimming in!  But the St. Marc base is so much bigger than our house in PAP that it was hard to see everyone.  Just after a couple of days most of the PAP students were craving the crazy, crammed, community living we some how love here. It was like a big reunion when we got home. Home sweet home.  It's like a masterpiece how everyone's personalities work together.  There is hardly ever any strife.  People just loving people.  So healthy. So good.
Our speaker for the week, the YWAM director for the Caribbean, taught on the character and nature of God.  I'm learning more and more that God wants to reveal Himself to us.  It takes listening. It takes intimacy. It takes a desire.  When we draw near to Him, He draws near to us.  My personal revelation for the week... that God wants to reveal Himself to me more than He wants to reveal all of my future plans to me.  It takes knowing Him better to live a life in line with His ways.
Well... the majority of students are gone right now.  One of the girls' sister is having a wedding as we speak and she took a crowd of peeps with her.  My kitchen duty called though, and so I got to stay behind.  I think it is a good time to go watch a movie on the roof.  :)
Bonuit tout moun.
