For me to be blessed and at peace, I have only to look to You! You say to come when I am thirsty and hungry and You will nourish me. You will give my soul life - eternal life in You. I must only seek You, for You have made yourself readily available. You are Merciful God and pardon my sin, for Christ gave my soul freedom on the cross.

I am 110% recovered, after lots of sleep and plenty of medicine (since that is all they have here).
Yesterday and today were much alike as far as work goes, we simply worked our rounds with the clinic team.

For starters, the clinic was an answer to prayers, because Ash and I have been praying about whether God wanted us to work medical missions or had other plans, so we have been able to experience the medical aspect.

It was a crude but very effective set up; we were in an empty, open concrete building, with two doctors, a missionary intern filling the prescriptions, and a translator, all helping Ashleigh and I find our niche in the fun.

The long awaited mission trip for which we have all been preparing for months is finally a reality - and I can honestly say I was not prepared at all. Approaching the earthquake-ravaged island from the air-conditioned plane, Haiti could be mistaken for a beautiful destination getaway...at first glimpse from the air, that is.

What you're about to read is something one of my best friends wrote. She did an analysis, i guess, on a song called "The New Breed" by Oh, Sleeper. It's a Christian hard core rock band, and you might not like hard core rock, but this song has some good lyrics. So let's let my friend take it away!

I recently came into the possession of a very valuable resource - an in-depth study on the book of Revelations. This is one of my favorite books of the Bible (along with Psalms, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes, to name a few) due to my fascination with the visions that lay out my future (and yours!).
