Insufficient

We are half way there! So far everything has gone extremely well. We got to TC airport at 2:30 to check our bags through. The man helping us was very kind and our first blessing of the trip was that he waved the forty dollar fee for each of our second bags! It's funny how God works because earlier I was telling mom how stressed about money I was! I guess I need to have a little more faith! We have a big God and he always comes through! Our first flight to Chicago was uneventful but we had lots of laughs and probably disturbed the whole plane considering how tiny it was! The three of us are so excited although I think it has just hit us that we are actually on our way. On our last flight heading to Florida I was thinking about how it is all going to go tomorrow morning and what's going to happen when we land in Haiti. I have much of it down to a science and I could lay out the whole process but I won't bore you with the details. What is mostly on my mind is wondering how I will do on this trip this time around. I'm always worried that I don't have enough to give, that I'm too small (in more ways than one!) too insignificant to make a difference, that I'm too young, that I'm not wise enough, not strong enough, not patient enough or that I won't have enough love to go around. It's easy for me to get caught up in these feelings but the Lord always reminds me of something when I start to feel overwhelmed. I am not enough, but He is. I can't wait to wrap my arms around all of my sweet kids and the rest of my Haitian family! I have missed them and my heart is so ready for this trip! It's 11:00 o'clock and we have just gotten into our room only to be up again in four hours! Keep us in your thoughts and prayers and know that you are in ours! Much love from the three of us!

Oh, Krystle!

I love how you share your testimony of God's goodness. It reminds me of the hymn that was dancing in my head this morning when I woke up, "Great Is Thy Faithfulness."

“Great is Thy faithfulness,” O God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

“Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!“
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—
“Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

“Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!“
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—
“Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

“Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!“
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—
“Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!

Sending my love,
Katina (for all of us!)
