I visited that piece of me in Haiti...

I stepped off the plane, and onto the tarmac. I took in all that is Haiti. I basked in the Haitian heat that danced on my skin. I inhaled the always smoky smell that never seems to leave Haiti's air. And of course I got in an argument with a Haitian within 2 minutes of me being there (long story)... All of it is Haiti, all of it tugged a smile at my lips. Cars were honking, residents were begging, people were starring mercilessly. Suddenly, I fell in love all over again. I fell in love with the country of Haiti fast and hard, with its people, its faith, its smells and sounds. Its a love that the Lord has placed in my heart for a reason. Its a love that makes my relationship with God personal, special, and intimate. Haiti is the place where I see and feel Him the most. I praise God for putting Haiti in my life and in my heart, and for bringing me there and using me for His purposes.

My trip, of course, was amazing. I enjoyed spending time with Megan and seeing the Cundiffs again! I had the privilege of photographing the meeting of Isaiah Daniel's birthmother and his mama, Sarah. It was a beautiful and touching thing to witness. I was reminded that God is weaved into these adoptions. Through God we are connecting culture and family in a perfect bond. I'm very grateful that I was able to be there.

Seeing the kids again was such an answered prayer!! I was so happy to be with them all again and be able to love on them. We also got to go to Hotel Ibolele (I think that's how you spell it), which was a lot of fun. The pool and view of Haiti was great. The team was fantastic! They painted the wall outside and brought down some great stuff for the O.

I was also happy about going to Port au Prince Fellowship which has been a meeting place for God and I several times. It always seems to be more than a church. Love for the Lord is booming out the speakers as everyone raises their voices higher and higher for Him. While looking around at the worshipers it's hard to hold back tears. Its an amazing God thing.

And if there is love anywhere in this world, it certainly would be in Haiti.
