Haitian Proverb

Here is a good Haitian proverb:

Atansyon pa kapon.

“Careful isn’t cowardly.” Being cautious does not make you a coward.

Hold My Heart

This song has been on my heart since I returned from Guatemala. I hope to share more of an update on the trip later this week!

How long must I pray

Must I pray to You?

How long must I wait

Must I wait for You?

How long till I see Your face

See You shining through?

I'm on my knees

Begging You to notice me

I'm on my knees

Father, will You turn to me?

One tear in the driving rain

One voice in a sea of pain

Could the Maker of the stars

Hear the sound of my breaking heart?

One life, that's all I am

Right now I can barely stand

If You're everything You say You are

Would You come close and hold my heart?

I've been so afraid, afraid to close my eyes

So much can slip away before I say goodbye

But if there's no other way

I'm done asking why

'Cause I'm on my knees

Begging You to notice me

I'm on my knees

Father, will You run to me, yeah

One tear in the driving rain

One voice in a sea of pain

Could the maker of the stars

Hear the sound of my breaking heart?

One life, that's all I am

Right now I can barely stand

If You're everything You say You are

Would You come close and hold my heart?

So many questions without answers

Your promises remain

I can't see but I'll take my chances

To hear You call my name

To hear You call my name

One tear in the driving rain

One voice in a sea of pain

Could the maker of the stars

Hear the sound of my breaking heart?

One life, that's all I am

Right now I can barely stand

If You're everything You say You are

Would You come close and hold my heart?

Hold my heart

Could You hold my heart?

Hold my heart

--“Hold My Heart” by Tenth Avenue North

Faces of Haiti: Created

The longer I live, the more I travel, the more people I meet, the more I feel that I was created for foreign missions work. I am created to share the hope of Christ with others, and worship Him by pouring my life out in service to Him.

Haitian Proverb

Here is a good Haitian proverb:

Avan ou monte bwa, gade si ou ka desann li.

“Before you climb a tree, look to see if you can climb down.” Make sure you know what you’re getting into.
