Baggage

With one day left until I'm Haiti-bound, life is filled with suitcases and supplies for the trip.  Thank you to my friends and family for help in getting ready!  I have one bag full of supplies for the school, including jump ropes, picture books, kid's clothing and peanut butter (for malnourished children).
These preparations remind me how blessed we are with an abundance of physical supplies.  Lord help us to remember these blessings as a gift from you!
While the physical supplies are all prepared and ready to go, I'm focusing on the emotional and spiritual baggage I will bring with me to Haiti.  I'm a fear-filled person who is praying for faith to rely on God's consistent grace.  I know He is faithful, and pray that this truth would be an ever-present reality in my heart even during the challenges to come. 

I'll attempt to update as often as I can, depending on the unreliable electricity and internet situation.  Thank you for following along with me on this journey!    In Christ, Jessie
