Amazing Grace…
Sorry for not writing the blog last night… I know it probably threw everyone’s schedule off 
Anyways.. on with today.
Today was Sunday – you know what that means! Church and a Day OFF!! Wrong. We were out of water this morning so me and Jordan rushed to get water this morning before church, but it took us so long we missed most of church. One group was leaving at 9:15 anyways so I had to help them get out to the airport. After all of that jazz I took a nap. That was about the only relaxing thing at happened all day.
William and I left around lunch to go to Cite Soleil and finish the water filtration building’s roof. It has to be done by Monday afternoon because they will be using it on Tuesday – so we are on a time crunch. William and I worked on the roof until after 6pm. It was crazy.. so hot.. and nasty, but we are almost finished.
Around 4 o’clock the coolest thing happened. I am standing on the roof in what is supposedly a fairly dangerous place, where everyone is not just poor but extremely poor. Everything is dirty, sad and feels like there is no hope… when all of a sudden I hear a single voice singing Amazing Grace – in English. I couldn’t help but stop everything I was doing and sing along. As I stood there I thought about all of the people who have nothing but are sitting in this church praising the God of the Universe and crying out to Him saying how amazing He is, how thankful they are for His love an grace. Every time I see this, it reminds me of how small I am… how NOTHING I am.
After Amazing Grace they sang “Who Am I” by Casting Crowns.. hearing this song.. knowing what the Haitians have gone through.. I don’t even know how to explain it. Some things just don’t make sense. I know I wouldn’t be handling this situation the way that any of them are. They are such strong people. I love how no matter what happens.. no matter what is thrown their way, you will continue to hear them singing praises to our Mighty God.
I hope everyone has a wonderful week. God Bless.
