Return to Haiti?!

Since my trip to Haiti last March, I have looked forward to getting the opportunity to return! Well, just my luck, I have a couple of those opportunities! As mentioned in the day-to-day thought on Haiti, there were a few people interested in adopting. Well, God says ask and you shall receive... Holly and Chris, as well as Michelle and Jonathan, have both began the adoption process of beautiful Haitian children. Watching them go through each step is truly amazing, and I cannot wait until the day that they are able to be together as a family! Because the process takes so long, they are not able to be together as a family yet, so they have decided to spend the holiday in Haiti. Holly and Chris will be there for the entire month of December with some other friends. They have invited me to join them for a week or two to help out at the orphanage and spend time with the children. It's a great opportunity to return to Haiti...and it will be in a different setting not being with an organization....we will have the freedom to plan our days and visit whichever places we wish. I had a great time with FFCIN in March, but now that we know the places and the city a little better, it will be great to have the freedom of our own plans.
So the next step is money. I have been making Christmas cards like a crazy woman to sell to family, friends, and craft-show-enthusiasts. So far I have made about $250. My goal is $900. If you are reading this and God speaks to you to give me that $900, well, God is great! If you are reading this and God speaks to you to give me $5, God is still wonderful and I appreciate every bit that everyone is able to help!
