On Tuesday this week, I packed for Haiti and drove to Minneapolis to run errands before spending time with dear friends. On Wednesday, I boarded a plane to Chicago, then to Miami where I was greeted by some of the most hospitable people I have ever met. I stayed at their house last night and got up early for my flight from Miami to Haiti. My flight was cancelled and I am currently sitting in the Miami airport to see if the flight I was re-booked on will be taking off. There are so many people waiting here. Waiting to see...
For the past several days, I have been keeping a close eye on the weather in Haiti. Tropical Storm Emily looked threatening for a while, but the reality is...she is very threatening. With a foot of rain expected in the mountains today and lots of wind, my heart goes out to those who don't have a place to go. There are still many people living in tents or temporary shelters in Port-au-Prince where roads will likely flood and, on the mountain, mudslides will happen.
So, although this is an inconvenience for me, it is a threat and a dangerous situation for many. Be praying for Haiti. For those who don't have somewhere safe to wait out the storm. Pray that God would be glorified even in this situation. Pray, friends, pray as we are waiting to see what is going to happen in Haiti today.
