I would like Dan to write a blog about his trip rather than me telling you about it.
Maybe he will.
He says, I am the writer.
So, if I am the writer, I guess I have permission to say what I want.
One of the things that sticks out for me after listening to him tell about his trip was, he feels like his heart changed on this trip toward the people of Haiti.
He now sees things very differently, it was all so hard to take in and comprehend.
When you work at something for a long time, it can become your "job" and not your passion.
You often forget about the people that you are working with (and for) because you are so busy trying to "do your job".
This rule applies to both the corporate world and the ever so crazy world of missions and humanitarian work.
I think we have all seen the news reports with all the supplies sitting around waiting and waiting until everyone gets done making all the "rules".
Meanwhile the whole country be eating three meals a day.
Sean Penn called it an apocalypse.
I keep thinking about the words of Jesus - "don't despise small beginnings".....
It seems to me, it is small beginnings that make the big picture happen.

True: I do find myself loosing the passion for the kids I work with because it does become a "job" at times and I am so focused on my "schedule" Talk about refocusing my eyes on Jesus!
