The final countdown

Haiti_header

The week is here!

I leave for Haiti on Friday night (taking the red-eye, which surely sounds more romantic than it actually is), and will be in Port au Prince by 9am on Saturday morning.

I can’t wait to hug my sister, and probably some other people, too.  Who knows, I might be a hugging machine, extemporaneously throwing my arms around strangers.  Hey, I’ve heard that Haitians are joyful – I might as well drag myself out of my usual sour funk and join in.

This is the last week that my three latest recordings will be available for download, so if you want to help support my trip, now is the time.  Thanks to those of you who have been so generous with your support – I am so encouraged by you.

    Annie, I came over here from Annie Downs’ blog. She was (once again) saying just how much she loves you. :) I hope your trip going beautifully – and that you get the chance to turn into a hugging machine! :)

    Hi Annie- I found you via AnnieBlogs and she mentioned your trip to all of us. So let me pray for you real quick-
    Lord,
    I ask that you bless Annie, that you would protect her as she travels to Haiti, while she is there, and when she returns. I ask that you would give her wisdom, grace and all that she needs from you for this trip. May you touch her life as she touches the lives of others through you.
    Fill her with more of your love Lord.
    In Jesus Name,
    Amen

    I also found you through the other Annie. The one who loves you so much! Praying these two verse for you now — “God is within (you Annie), You will not fall; God will help 9you)at the break of day…And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” Psalm 46:5, Philippians 4:19 NIV

    Hi Annie,
    I too came over from AnnieBlogs, and I love the look of your blog. I pray that God blesses your trip to Haiti and that God’s radical love would flow through you to all the people you meet.
