My Journey Toward Haiti: June 2011
http://charlenejane-myjourneytowardhaiti.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
My Journey Toward Haiti. Saturday, June 25, 2011. What a fun day of shopping! The Baptist Mission (which is about half way between GLA and Fort Jacques) hosts both an indoor and an outdoor market. Inside there is a restaurant, gift shop, and flower shop. Outside, (mostly) foreign shoppers barter with local vendors for the best prices. Bartering can be a little overwhelming, as the vendors are quite convincing and you really have to set firm boundaries and stick to them (not my forte). I’ve been put...

My Journey Toward Haiti: April 2011

My Journey Toward Haiti. Tuesday, April 26, 2011. So, About Haiti. If you’ve known me for any amount of time, or you’ve dug around on my sidebar, you know that I’m passionate about orphan care and adoption. I read everything I can get my hands on about orphanage models, domestic and transracial adoption, attachment disorders, children from “hard places”, and the list goes on. No, I’m not thinking of bringing home a child any time soon, and ideally not until I’m married (don’t worry, Mom). So, about Haiti.

My Journey Toward Haiti: July 2011

My Journey Toward Haiti. Wednesday, July 6, 2011. Those of you who told me the hardest part of my trip would be leaving to come home were absolutely right. Saying goodbye to my new friends (the volunteers and staff), and especially to the babies, was very emotional. I will no doubt write more on this later, when I am better rested. I'll also post some pictures of the route from GLA to the Port-au-Prince airport. I am so thankful for an amazing experience in Haiti, and also thankful to be home. Although I...

Under a Tree: April 2011
http://twosparrowsii.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
A story.a journey.a song. Wednesday, April 20, 2011. For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”. In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”. Easter, not egg hunts and chocolate or bunnies and peeps. I want ...

Under a Tree: hope in the One who shows us the Way.
http://twosparrowsii.blogspot.com/2012/04/hope-in-one-who-shows-us-way.html
A story.a journey.a song. Monday, April 2, 2012. Hope in the One who shows us the Way. My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself,. And the fact that I think that I am following your will. Does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. Though I may know nothing about it. But the...

Under a Tree: March 2011
http://twosparrowsii.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
A story.a journey.a song. Friday, March 25, 2011. Where has it gone. Thrown over and under. Creep in and scamper. In the unfilled recesses. Of today’s hustling. Where has it gone. These burdens cast shadows. On the need to slow down. In the beauty and grace. I know it’s not gone. He woos me to come. Lay down and remember. Of a Root growing deep into. Monday, March 21, 2011. 354 Love that drives out fear. 355 Tulips in full bloom on the kitchen counter- from You, a love note. 378 Coffee in bed, love note.
