Haiti with Visiting Orphans

So I just signed up for a mission trip, my first mission trip since the summer after I graduated high school. To say I'm excited is an understatement. Going and doing is something that God has been whispering to me and if I'm honest sometimes yelling at me but I kept saying not this year, maybe next year when the kids are a little older, oops I'm pregnant can't go this year or too early next year because he will be so little still. Oh my the excuses just kept coming.

I decided to start looking at 2013 dates with Visiting Orphans. I really wanted to go to Africa, since Matt and I have been looking into adoption from there but the trips there were just too long for my mamma heart to be away from my babies. So we kept looking and found a trip to Haiti right before the holidays next year.

So my sister and I (yes my best friend is coming with  me!!) will be packing up and heading to Haiti a year from now, next November 1.


my beautiful sister

I am excited to head to Haiti, my cousin went this past summer and my sister in law has been a couple times. Our World Vision child lives in Haiti, my heart is there too and I just needed to open up my mind to that possiblity and there it was the perfect time for us to go!

You will hear more as we start planning and fundraising next year but for now I am already praying for those we will be in touch with in our time there and for our team that I do not even know yet. I am nervous and excited and ready to GO and LOVE these people.
