life at home

Much has happened since my last blog. I have returned to the U.S. and have decided to return to university admissions, preferrably in the Columbus, Ohio region. I am living with my eldest sister, Debi, and her family. I am blessed to be able to spend time with them and take my time in looking for a job. The economy is in recession, but I trust God will provide when/if he desires.

My goals in life? (Thanks for asking.) My plan is to spend time working and adding value to an admissions team for several years. I would like to save a substantial amount of money and return to Haiti to buy a home and adopt children. There are so many orphans in haiti. Haiti's population is about 9 million, and 300,000 of those people are orphaned children. I realize that I cannot help all of them, but I hope to radically change the lives of a few of them. Not by money and americanism, but by hope and love.

I am so thankful for the things I learned in Haiti. I will return with a knowledge of the country and a confidence that I can navigate the systems and culture. My time home has (so far) been one of spiritual challenges and hardship. I've had to come to grips with sin in my past and reconcile those issues with the person I am and hope to be. I am thankful that the love of Jesus is greater than all my sins.
