Oceans

"Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)"

You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand

And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now

So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Day 2

August 25

''I'm writting these words down in my journal

after an awesome day spended with friends.''

Marvelous day! I simply loved it<3

It's not quite what I was expecting...

Far more wonderful than I ever would have imagined.

Today we spent the day with the kids in the village.

Dozen and dozen of them.

We played soccer and a bit of jumping rope.

While my stay there, the view around me was just stunning.

The mountains and valleys all around, trails full of childrens running barefoot.

They all wanted to follow us everywhere we went.

I would give to them some little smilee stickers and they would just make this big smile and look at me with those precious sparkling eyes

                            One thing I loved was that they never saw any camera before.

They were just amazed by it!

Tomorrow (August 26) will be a big day.

We will do some activities with the kids around the village.

We have no idea how many will actually come.

I prepared a bit of stuffs already.

I met this precious ten years old girl today. She is called Lucienta.

She does not have a mommy and a daddy. She's an orphan.

We are staying at the same place with her this week.

I pray that we will be a blessing to her.

She's really sweet<3

Blessings,

Keila

Day 1

August 24
''I now see the real thing.

I now see the true poverty.

I now experience the real heat of Haiti.''

''They still have smiles.

They still have a hope;

We can tell them about the good news''

We left this morning at 6:30am from Home.
In Montréal we waited for a couple of hours.
During the flight I had this terrible ear pain!
It eventually got better...
after like a couple of days(-:

When we arrived at the airport in Port-au-Prince, Haiti
and I took my first step out if the plane...
oh! It was like stepping in an oven!

  

The heat was just so intense.

I could not think living in this extreme heat, even for this short amount of time.

  (I don't regret it a bit now!)

In the airport they all wanted to carry and help us with our luggages.

We needed to refuse, just for the sake of security.

 

The drive was fabulous and so diferent from my hometown!

Streets were just filled with people, and childrens playing everywhere.

''Tap-tap'' (bus taxi) full of passengers. Donkeys trying to make their way across.

So this was my first day right in the middle of Port-au-Prince:-)

 

Cheers!

''I'm only one''

''I'm only one, but still I am one.

I cannot do everything, bit still I can do something.

I will not refuse to do something I can do.''

 

I know.

 

I did not quite post like I wished I would.

I'm getting things straighten up day by day.

With school and all the other stuffs...It's hard to do this.

 

This week I will try to write a bit of my days in Haiti;

A bit of everyday.

 

My heart is still there you know.

 

God is oppening doors for the future.

He knows what is ahead;

He has a plan and a reason for everything.

 

Cheers,

Keila

Miss all of their little smiles...

''We can`t help everybody, but we can change one kid's life''.

Beautiful.

Oh! I just loved that place<3
