Always Trust, by Brittany Hanks

     I am completely overjoyed that I am able to go to Haiti this summer. I know this is going to be an incredible journey, and one that will change my life forever. Ever since I was little, I’ve always wanted to not only help people, but spread the word of God. Last year when I heard about the mission trip to Haiti, I knew that it was something I wanted to do.

     I started praying to God about going to Haiti to see if it was the right thing to do. I know it was a huge decision, and I wanted to be sure that God wanted me on this path. When my sister came back from Haiti last spring break and told me about it, I was amazed. I learned that among all the devastation and turmoil in the country, the people are still joyful and are filled with the Spirit of God. This really changed my perspective, because I had no idea what the Haitian people were going to be like.

Even though going there seems a little scary at times, I just remember that the Haitian people have always believed and trusted God in everything they do. They helped show me that I too can trust God in everything I do, because he will always be on my side. And with God on my side, I know I can overcome anything.
