Tonight was a lot like old times…played some cards and finally got the signs out etc. The donation box is secure and awaiting donations, and Max and Matt are in the shelter tonight.

It has been raining since about 11:30, and it’s 2:30 now. Lots of lightning and thunder. Got some good time-lapse stuff I think. Had some conversations with people including some people who had significant knowledge of Haiti.

Yesterday afternoon was a surreal experience. I quit one of my jobs(two weeks notice)…which was very hard for me to do…walked out to my car…got in, and realized that I was almost completely out of gas and out of money until my next pay day. So there I am broke, gasless, and soon to be with one less job. It reminds me of the way most Haitians seem to live. Working hard but never having a surplus (in my situation it is my fault, in the Haitians it may not be their fault at all) living day to day. Having to trust that somehow God will provide…even when I doesn’t make sense.

When everything is said and done, if God asks you to do something you should do it. I believe that God has asked me to leave a job and trust him. I believe that God has asked me not to go home until 2 Haitian families can. We can’t reach our goal without Him, and I can’t wait for Him to show up.

What is God asking you to do? Will you do it?
