In just 2 short weeks a lot will happen. We will stress out about last minute things to do or buy--gifts or groceries or both! We will quiet ourselves before the manger as we spend time in worship on Christmas Eve. We will delight in the excited sounds of children as we send them off to bed only to wake them early so they can open presents and enjoy all the new stuff. Undoubtedly, many of us will even return to the stores to make necessary exchanges or to cash in on some great after Christmas sales. We will ring in the new year--2012! And then...and then...27 of us will make our way to Miami and then off to Port au Prince.
In just 2 short weeks, 27 lives will be forever changed by the people we meet, by the things we see, by the relationships we build, and by being open to whatever it takes to be molded and shaped more and more into the image of Christ.
Stay tuned for what will hopefully be daily updates beginning January 1 and continuing through January 9 - the day we return.
This blog will also be the spot we post great stories of how we are serving the world whether that be in our own neighborhood surrounding Lord of Life or in Haiti or in Nicaragua or wherever it is that God leads us.
Mold us and shape us, Lord--whatever it takes!
Learning to Serve,
Lisa :)
