Transitions
The alarm sounded a little before 4:00 am and the journey began. Thankfully Mom was willing to start the journey with me to the Manchester Airport! From there brief stops in Philadelphia and Fort Lauderdale led to the descent into Port Au Prince. I can't exactly explain how, but I have never felt such a peace in the midst of chaos as I did walking through that airport. The Lord starts day one of the trip showing His faithfulness. My friend Beverly, who is teaching here, said that I should pray for an awareness of God's presence during the journey. I kept closing my eyes during difficult moments (I'm not a big fan of flying) and picturing almighty God demonstrating his sovereignty by watching over me. I have met most of the orphans that live at the school and can't begin to explain how amazed I am. I expected to feel nervous and uncomfortable, but I felt welcomed and loved from the moment I stepped off the bus! I'll send pictures and details soon, but for now I'm off to bed after a long and peace-filled day! God bless you and keep you! Love in Christ, Jessie
