For the past 4 years in a row, the first book of
the year I read is “Do Hard Things” by Alex and Brett Harris. This year I have
found a LOT of encouragement in reading the book because of the changes God is
working in my life. This quote stood really out to me when I read it:
“We aren’t called to be successful all
the time. We’re called to be faithful, to take those first difficult steps—and to
leave the results up to God.”
During the birth of the Hope Hill Orphanage
Project, I had a lot of fear of failure and what others would think of me. But
God showed me that I needed to rid myself of that pride and be faithful to what
He had called me to do: surrender to His plan for my life and serve the
children of Haiti. Ultimately it doesn’t matter whether I fail or succeed; God’s
plan will ALWAYS prevail. I am simply blessed to be a part of what He is doing
in the country of Haiti. I’m not called to know all the answers; I’m called to
obey.
