Well, yes it has been over a year since my last family blog post! I am NOT proud of this but hey time flies & mom's get busy, right?! Tonight I feel the urge to catch up on some lost time...
My last post was all about our life changing mission to Haiti, it's going on two years now since our first trip and as you all know Haiti is in more crisis now than it has ever been, my heart breaks for the shattered people there as I pray daily for this countries recovery.
Almost exactly two months before the horrendous earthquake in Haiti our missions coordinator, Eric Schweig took a second group of people over on a small journey in which Casey took part in. They worked on the orphanage and hauled an enormous grill over to make cooking a little easier for the nanny's at the orphanage. Haiti was already in a state of emergency, struggling even before the quake hit but now it is just overwhelmingly disastrous. I do have to add how thankful I was and am that the team made it home safely before the quake hit (only two months later). We were also able to witness other blessings stem from this countries disaster as two families we know and care for were reunited with their boys and adoptions were finalized!
After the quake hit there was a third mission that was specifically designated for aid and relief following the earthquake. My Dad was one of the men among this brave group of people as well. Many stories were shared along with tears during this time. Haiti will remain close to our families hearts, I do hope to re-visit this country in the future and ask for continued prayer for them. The Leve Project is a non profit organization that has amazing plans for rebuilding the dreams of Haitian people, for more information on how to support them please visit: http://leveproject.org
