Waiting to depart

I sit this morning in the JFK terminal waiting for the flight to depart for Port Au Prince. An amazing day yesterday with the women of the ELCA. A very uplifting worship service, with the opportunity to share afterwards my experiences on reflection from my previous trips and meditate on the time to come. It was a wonderful time to look back on what we have learned through the years - what we've done well, where we've struggled and where we can continue to grow. I know that these next 4 weeks are going to fly by so it is good to have this time to reflect and anticipate what God has in store for me. The generosity of outpouring was humbling - tons of school supplies to take to Zion's children with the team going in August and a wonderful love offering as well. We are so blessed! Thanks for all the support and prayers. Nits the only reason I can do this at all! Always, L
