on the road again and breaking the cycle

 At five am the team headed off and are now safely in Port-au-Prince, waiting for their next flight!  

Using a tap-tap (public Haitian transportation) for team transportation was something Matt and I thought would be a blast...but we weren't sure what the team would think!  They loved it and actually ended up citing it as being one of the best parts of the week :)  What a fun team!

 Lily was devastated to find everyone gone when she woke up this morning...but quickly recovered when Uncle Don came back with Poppy for another few weeks!

Today is more work on the sidewalk, tons of laundry, dishes, cleaning and putting away, and continued reflection on what He did this season so long ago..."Breaking the Cycle" Matt calls it.

Laws and regulations, efforts and failures, sin remaining at the end of the day...for thousands of years.  

Then He came, "poured out Himself to death" (Isaiah 53:12), and broke the cycle...."by His scourging we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5), sin "no longer the master over you" (Romans 6:14).  What a miracle this breaking of the cycle was and is and evermore shall be!  The miracle of my life, and this weekend an extra reminder to celebrate it...Praise the Lord.
