The Spiritual Journey....... leading to Haiti

The journey does not stop, it continues. 
I try to listen, try to understand what God invites me to, and do my best to say "yes" to whatever I believe God is inviting me to.
I started a discernment process, sensing that there were unmet needs that God invited me to respond to.  I was feeling somehow called beyond the geographical location and typical ministry options currently available to members of  my community.  I began a discernment process, wanting to understand, how my gifts could meet the needs of those most in need and wanting to most fully be the person God created me to be, not knowing where the process would lead, although at times I thought I knew, but then God surprised me.  I was walking in the dark, I could only see the next step and even that was not perfectly clear much of the way.    

Now, it seems clear that God is leading me to Haiti. This is the next step of my journey.  Haiti is a place where hopefully my skills and experiences can be used to bring hope and healing to those who suffer greatly.  Haiti is a place where God is likely to teach me and challenge me to grow in love. 
 In many ways I am still walking in the dark, and expect to be even especially once I arrive in Haiti.
