I wanted to share with you all how my time being home is going so far. I miss being in Haiti very much and helping FH out in community. Whenever I look at photos from Haiti and think of all I was able to do in a year and I get overwhelmed and have to remind myself God pulled me from Haiti for a reason. God told me it was time to go home and I had no idea what God had in store for me being home. He does that with Jeremy and I all the time. God tells us to move but doesn’t show us the next steps or what we are to even expect so we always move and rest in the fact that God knows where to place our feet.
Since being home I have enjoyed catching up with family and friends and going on the road with Willet here and there. I celebrated Thanksgiving this year with family, which was so different from last year as I spent it with my kids at the orphanage. I will never forget those kids and pray for them often.
The beginning of November I found myself helping Willet move into the new Hunger Strike office and ever since, I have been working hard.
My new title is the Director of The Hunger Strike Challenge. What that means is I am working with youth pastors interested in holding Hunger Strike events and making sure they are all set to do their event and I work on the follow up after the event. I am so excited to be taking on this new role as I love building relationship and truly believe in what The Hunger Strike stands for. It’s easy to work for an organization your heart is into. I also still have a great relationship with Food For The Hungry as The Hunger Strike is partnering up with them for all of the events.
December I will get to travel with Willet on their Christmas tour helping with merchandise and FH sponsorship. This will be my first time going on a whole tour with the band and I am excited to see how God uses me through this.
The latest news in Jeremy and I’s life is our decision to start the journey of adoption. For many years we have been praying about adoption and me coming home made things very clear to both of us that this was the right time. Click Here to read our adoption blog.
I want to thank you all again so much for your support and prayers through these times. Without your prayers and financial support I couldn’t do this great work God has put before me. You all are a big part in what God is doing through The Hunger Strike and FH.
