haiti

i'm back.  with a short post, and not at all what i'd been planning to write earlier today.  that can wait.  i just finished watching a one hour show on Haiti post-quake, and honestly~ it messes me up when i consider all that country continues to endure.  please, please remember Haiti today.  one year after the catastrophic earthquake levelled the nation much of Haiti remains stuck in a cycle of helplessness, with little sign of tangible help to the hundreds of thousands so desperate for it.  so much pain, so much grief~ yet Haitians are unfathomably resilient and still find reasons to sing and dance.  i think of my Haitian son, and it moves me again in a way i can't quite describe.  deja vu from last year.  i remember feeling so tied, so stuck in time as i watched the images play out on my TV screen.  so helpless, so grateful, so sad.  all at the same time.  it's bizarre, i know.  but the feelings are back, and tonight i'm praying anew for Haiti.  for God's Littlest Angels, the orphanage that continues to save the lives of Haiti's most fragile children, for missionaries we know of that continue to plug away in a land where so little progress is ever seen, for the entire country that beauty would rise from the rubble....one day...
