hi everyone, i am finally up and running, the blog has begun, i am eating normally today and finding that a real struggle, fancy finding eating a struggle! i am getting headaches and i think it is because of food, i didnt have one when i wasnt eating.  maybe my body is adjusting. 10 days to go until i begin for real.

Todd sent me an email and he told me about Carrie who is working as a missionary in Haiti.  I read her blog and started crying, she has a real way with words, and they went deep into my Spirit.  She is living with the very people i am wanting to help. She is experiencing first hand what the Haitian people have to go thru, none to very little food, the very high temperatures, i dont know how i would cope.

Todd is on his way back to Haiti now to see how things are going so i will look forward to hearing from him when he gets back to the States.

I had study group last night and i was asked to pray for a couple of ladies who wanted to be baptised in the Holy Spirit.  i felt very privileged and honoured that they would ask me. So we prayed and i am believing that they would receive tongues.

if you want to check out what Todd and the WellNetwork does then go to: www.wellnetwork.tv
and if you want to support what he is doing and help financially their website will show you what to do.

One thing i have been told to do whilst i am on this year long journey is to cover myself in the Blood of Jesus everyday and put on God's Armour as described in Eph 6. I am finding that this will be a very improtant part of my daily routine.

i am amazed at how God's hand has been on this from the very start and how He has shaped and changed my thinking in just a short few weeks.  When i first decided to do this, i was just going to do it by myself and not tell anyone, just in case i failed :-) then no one would be upset, just me.  then i got the thought to get individual sponsors from my church so they could hold me accountable as well as praying and encouraging me, they would be helping Haiti too.  Never did i believe in a million years would i go public and share what i am doing with the whole wide world!!!  I had been thinking it would be a good idea to keep a diary of my journey so that i had something to look back on later.  And now look - i am writing a blog!!!!! who would have thought? Certainly not me.  Our God is an awesome God and i know that as long as i continue to surrender to Him, He will use me to further His Kingdom.

Whatever counts for eternity Lord - let it be.

i know that it is not going to be easy at times but it will still be easier than what the Haitian people go thru on a daily basis.

so if you find yourself reading this, pray and ask God what you can do to help His people who need help. There are lots and lots of lonely, scared, hungry, lost people out there who need to know there is a God who knows them and loves them and longs to have a relationship with them.

i know this because i was lost and lonely and hurting and God met me and loved me and saved me from myself and i am eternally grateful. i have accepted His free gift of salvation - have you?
