Today is Earthquake day.
A lot has changed here since that day. There has been incredible strides in the improvement of people's quality of life since then but there is still so far to go.
Sometimes I start to feel sorry for myself and then I think about how I have nothing to complain about.
I know God gives us all our own crosses but how can I possibly complain about loneliness or rejection or being overwhelmed when 36 seconds can change history and lives forever?
Haiti is resilient, it's a lesson for me. In every face I encounter I know there is a story behind it.
And chances are those stories are something more than feeling lonely or sad that you only got to go the pool instead of being invited to somebody's bbq...
There's a lot of growing left in this girl and I feel like i'm up to the challenge.
If Haiti can survive the amount of struggle and hardship life keeps throwing at it
1) These are some stubborn people
and 2) I can learn from them to see each day as an extraordinary gift from God that should be treasured and made better by my being His reflection...
Here's to me remembering to remembering what's truly important in life and seeing Christ in my brothers and sisters and also myself.
