I've been awful missing Haiti this week. We were there a year ago now, and all the pictures popping up bring back far more than that visit. I miss the eternal breeze and sunshine and green, for sure, but I miss more the simple (of the village, of the classroom, of life) and the beauty (of the community and the people).
Problems were complicated...but it made the trusting of the Lord more simple, especially when everyone was always reminding you He could be trusted. I miss the un-rush. I miss the prayers that always included song. I miss the singing and worship that always including dancing and clapping. I miss a lot of very precious people, inventing our own fun and richness, meals that fed so much, time that seemed so much more, jokes and conversations and prayers in two languages. Dependency on the Lord.
Writing every other night or so when the littles were in bed.
