Hidden Beauty

Today we saw hope…

We’ve spent the last week serving the people of Haiti. So, today was our day of rest and relaxation. We headed about an hour away from where we’ve been staying and spent the day at the beach.

Beautiful!

This place was beautiful! The water was perfectly see-through, and the beach was full of beautiful shells. Throughout the day we played volleyball, swam, snorkeled, and rode on a jet ski. For lunch we had a buffet of pork, fish, chicken, noodles, and fried plantains. Man do the Haitians know how to cook! The food was fabulous and a nice change to our daily diet of rice and beans.

Delicous meal!

Overall our day at the beach was AMAZING! It was beautiful and relaxing. But our trip had an ulterior motive. Our trip to the ocean, showed us how Haiti could be. It gave us hope. Hope that our efforts will one day pay off. Hope that the destruction and brokenness of this country can turn into beauty. God is here. He is in this country. He has a movement that’s sweeping through this nation. We were part of this, and one day it is all going to pay off.  One day Haiti will be a beautiful place in God’s kingdom…

Haiti can be beautiful...
