I'm on my way!

Only a few more hours before I see all of those kiddos' faces! 

Above all (Lyrics)

Above all powers

Above all kings

Above all nature

And all created things

Above all wisdom

And all the ways of man

You were here

Before the world began

Above all kingdoms

Above all thrones

Above all wonders

The world has ever known

Above all wealth

And treasures of the earth

There's no way to measure

What You're worth

(Chorus)

Crucified

Laid behind a stone

You lived to die

Rejected and alone

Like a rose

Trampled on the ground

You took the fall

And thought of me

Above all

Another journey in Haiti

In less than two weeks from today, June the 11th, I will be half across the world once again!  This time, my parents, James and I, we will stay for a longer period of time; sixteen days to be precise:-) I finished school last Friday so I am free from homework for a couple of months!  It feels as if I just arrived not so long ago from Haiti, but it was actually last August! I am planning to post while I am there, so all of you who wants updates, there"s going to be some once in a while :-) We pretty much packed everything already, such as the supplies to do the activities with the kids during the day. We`ll take one day at a time, and see what God has in store for each of them. My prayer is that wherever we'll be, we will be a testimony to those we meet, as well as an encouragement. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated:-)

Isaiah 58:11

The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

Listen to our hearts

Happy New Year everybody!

May the Lord bless you all:-)

What I've learned...

''To truly reach the poor with the hope 

of the Gospel, 

we have to be willing to live among them 

and sacrifice for them just as Jesus 

Day 3

August 26

It was a hot and humid morning that day and full of unexpected surprises. 

I walked a short distance on the way to school without having any idea 

how many kids would actually show up that day.

When I made my way in...

With their dark, sparkling eyes, 50 kids was looking at me, and finally they all wanted to hold my hand. I could not stop but smile:-)

You can just imagine it...
children from all different backgrounds, from three years old to seventeen, 
that never saw cameras and any puzzles or a jumping rope before.
Everything was new and a big surprise to them.

Yes, my day was busy and filled with activities,
 but there was always something to smile at; whether it was those cute little drawings I received one after another or hearing them laugh with full joy.

Some children never sat in a classroom before or experienced to be a student so
at some times it was difficult to explain them rules for games and activities, 
because in their perspective-Who cares for games rules, we just want to play! 

At the end of that morning with the children, my mom and I we walked in the village,
 carried conversations with the people around and visited our friends' families. Many kids would follow us wherever we would go. It was so sweet to see them, and to be able to hold their little hand. I did not care at that moment how dirty their hands were...
''I simply wanted all of them to feel loved and appreciated. ''
