"Write a blog thanking someone who has made your heart come alive."
this took me a few moments to figure out. but when i did, it was like a big huge "duh!".
when depression had its strongest grip in my life, there were very few things that could ignite passion inside of me. but haiti was one of those things. the pull i felt toward getting back to them was greater than the pull i felt to just stay in bed all day. and now, the pull i feel to return, to see their faces and hold them close to me... well, that's more than a pull. it's God, knotting one end of a thread around my heart, and tying the other end around theirs. He's creating a bond beyond my capacity as a human to form myself.
i'm so thankful i get to know them, and that i get to love them and be their sister in Christ.
