I know this trip to Haiti going to be such an amazing experience, and I'm so excited to see what God has in store for our team going this spring break. I'm looking forward to taking this step and getting out of of my comfort zone. This will be something very new for me, especially since I've never been out of the country. I'm going on this trip to Haiti to not only serve and help the Haitians, but also to grow in my own faith.
One thing God has been teaching me in the last few months is to step back and realize how truly blessed I am. I feel like media and our society today are telling us that we can never be satisfied unless we have all the things we want. I know I can definitely get caught up and I forget to realize that I have way more than I need, and I have so much to be grateful for. I'm hoping that through this trip to Haiti, God really opens my eyes so I can fully understand how fortunate I am. I hope to come away from this trip with a new, more Christ-like perspective.
A passage that has really been speaking to me is 1 Corinthians 10:23-24. It talks about how you can be doing nothing, or you can be doing something benificial that helps others. It also says you should always be putting others' needs before your own. This speaks to me because it's saying that you should work towards things that benefit others, and it's the best way to spend your time. This calls me to go to Haiti, even if it is out of comfort zone, so I can do something that is beneficial and puts others before myself.
