Haiti

The events that have taken place in Haiti this past week are absolutely tragic and have brought about a lot of attention in the news. Cory and I have been sitting by watching and listening to the stories and we couldn't help but be moved to tears. As we sit on our couch and watch these stories, our hearts ache for all affected by this earthquake and we wish there was something more that we could do. We have been praying desperately for all involved, and we have donated money to Catholic Relief Services and The Red Cross, but we both have a desire to do more. I wish I could hop on a plane and fly to haiti to volunteer, but that is not possible at this time. I am having a difficult time accepting this for some reason. Don't get me wrong, I love being a wife and mom and wouldn't want to be doing anything else. I just wish there was a way to do all three things. I know I should just trust that this is where God wants me to be right now. I don't know why this desire in my heart to go there is so strong right now. Maybe this is just God placing these feelings in my heart to prepare Cory and I for a future of service. Well for now I will just pray for the grace to trust I am where God wants me to be, but to stay aware and open to God's plans in our life. I will also continue to pray for all involved in this disaster.
