It’s hard to believe this photo was taken in Haiti after all of the devastation and horrible poverty I experienced this week. We were able to travel up the road to a beach resort and jump in the ocean before heading to the airport and it was absolutely beautiful and buzzing with the wealthy of Haiti. Despite the beauty and peace of the ocean, it was surreal knowing that Haitians were starving just miles down the road, they were terrified to go inside buildings, they were grieving their losses from the quake, they were resorting to violence to have their needs met….As I’m trying to process the week, I am having feelings of guilt about returning to my life of comfort and “luxury.” I will never forget the Haitians, I will never forget the very few smiles I saw, I will never forget the burden ridden faces and the stories they shared with me. Most of all I will never forget their utter dependence on the grace of God.
