It’s all about me

Hi guys! Ernest told you about our trip to town. This place has some beautiful areas. Our hosts have been wonderful to us. They used to have a cabin down on Ky. Lake and Jo has a sister in Dover, TN. I believe Jo and I could become great friends. We have had some great laughs together. It’s funny how God shows you things. A few years ago I went to Florida to run in the Breast Cancer 1/2 Marathon with some very special friends. We trained hard and wanted to do our best. The reason I went was to accomplish something for myself but during the race I saw a bigger picture. Runners had written on their backs names of people they were running to support. While you run you read the names. They have moms, sisters, friends and wives names. I came upon one that said, “I’m running for you”. At that moment I realized the bigpicture. It wasn’t about me doing something for myself but trying to help others. I have had that same thing happen again. I have been wanting to do a medical mission trip for at least a year. I have been praying that God would direct me. One dropped into my lap! I wanted to do something new and exciting. My family and friends would testify to the fact that I’m always ready to go anywhere and do something new and fun. Coming on this trip was for me or so I thought. I have seen the big picture. It’s not about me and its not about you. It’s about God wanting us to take care of all His children. God gave His only Son Jesus so we may have eternal life through him. He blesses us in so many ways that we do not deserve. Why did God allow an earthquake to happen in Haiti? I do not know. What I know is that He wants us to love all people. I have worked beside Americans, Canadians, and Swiss. They all came together to help needy people. It’s all about God. Love to all and keep praying.
