haiti

it's nap time around here.

blogging, laundry, PEACE, QUIET.....those are the usual norms during these few hours.

not so today. i'm reading and Reading and READING all about Haiti. and my heart is breaking. and my mind is not at rest.

David Hames (super cool dad, husband, leader in our church) is there. and to my knowledge, they don't know where he is, no one has heard from him. he was there filming with compassion.

his wife and two boys are here. and i can't imagine the fear. in fact, i pray against that very fear that i'm sure is ripping renee to her core.

Lord, be near.

yeah...Emerson's lost at least one family member and has another missing. I wept last night when I saw a father carrying his daughter that he couldn't get to in time.

Mandy, have you heard from your friend? The whole thing is so tragic...I can't even find words to speak or pray. I'm so thankful for the Holy Spirit praying for me as I sit in silence, so burdened. Love you, friend.
