Today is the Day...

      Everyday there is a deep sense that apart from HIM I can do nothing.  Every morning we sing "This is the Day that the Lord has made" with the kids and truly every day is.  Today is the two year anniversary of the Earthquake and a day of prayer and rememberance for Haiti.  I've just been blessed today by a blind saint and devoted father that they call Seniola.  He writes his own music.  His job with NWHCM (and his talents from the Lord) is to lead music at the haitian staff devotions and to go to the various ministry programs and play music in order to bless them.  His son leads him around.  Today I was the one blessed by the deep, beautiful passion and pain of his songs and lyrics.  I was moved as he played his guitar and sang a song that could be the heart of Haiti.  In creole his words are an anthem here. It is a song to God to give him a Word as he sings out that it is hard for him to find food to eat.  He has deep humiliation of being hungry are the words he sang as haitians and Americans gather around to hear his testimony through music.
Today, we will remember those who still grieve and suffer the loss of their lost ones.  It's still so odd that in eight days we will celebrate "gotcha day" the homecoming of our Ava from the tragic earthquake.  That's what the Lord does is bring beauty from ashes...

Today-This is the Day that the Lord has made
