Update on me...

I find peace on moments like this. When the room is quiet and all I could hear are some rain drops hitting the rooftops and sliding through my window pane. Almost all the lights are off and I feel comfortable underneath my "snuggie" and drinking me a hot cup of tea. Life is wonderful! I just need that time for myself. It's very important to me. The last time I had an early night to myself was Wednesday night. I know it hasn't been that long, but with all the actions that has happened in the past few days it seems like it's been weeks. I haven't done laundry in a week. Which also means that I haven't changed my sheets in a week. That's how life goes.

The work week is ahead and I find it such a blessing to be working right now. Even though it's been rough and business hasn't been flowing like milk and honey. I'm not complaining. I'm just praying about it. Working hard as I can even though sometimes I feel like this is not what I'm suppose to be doing. I'm gaining knowledge everyday though. Good use for the future. The structure of a house is very complicated as I have thought. It seems pretty easy to me, but there are a lot of small details that messes me up. Other than that. I enjoy sitting at work studying, talking to people, and playing w/ some equipment. I get out on the field once in a while depending on how big or difficult the house is, but usually I work behind the scenes. I don't mind working on 20 different things at a time. In fact, the busier I get the more I like it.

Here's the part where I'm just going to ramble. Every time Haiti is mention. Two things I feel right away. One is how I feel so bless to be where I'm at. The other feeling is where I think I'm going to cry and leave my friends and everyone here to go over there and help dig some people out. It breaks my heart to see one of the worst countries be destroyed by nature like that. It really puts things into perspective. That country was already in a bad condition and now it just went from bad to extreme worse. I guarantee that at this moment right now that someone's dying over there right now. I'm totally broken. I feel like we take things oh so granted here that sometimes we're not aware that there are those people in places like Haiti that don't have what we have. I want to be able to help out not just by giving money. My prayers have changed tremendously ever since the tragedy. Words don't come out anymore. I tear up, I shake, I get the goosebumps, I just fall on the floor and say "God, I know you are seeing this. I want you to change it." I try to understand the reasoning behind it. I'm not the one who's charging the creator of something hideous like killing almost two hundred thousands of people. I'm just in awe of this such event and of such powerful God he is that the rapture can just come at us in just a few seconds. Anyways, the prayers will be pouring for Haiti. I love them and hopefully they can come back from a tragedy like this.
