2 years later. 12-Jan-12

300,000 people lost their lives this day exactly 2 years ago.
     As I go through the streets of Port-au-Prince the physical damage is still obvious.
  Rubble still sits in lots,
               tents of the displaced line the city,
          people live and use whatever collapsed portions of buildings they can,
    and areas of piled concrete sit abandoned as a reminder of the day that changed this country.

Haiti has come far in the rebuilding process,
       but they had far to go before the earthquake-
they were the poorest country in this hemisphere before the earthquake,
    now consider the poverty level after as they slowly recover.

     But here is the good news,
        God is the man with a plan!
   He sent Jesus as THE redeemer and will redeem this land.
         

     Watch the video of Haitian music artists and Haiti's president
                                                         (he was a popstar before he was president)
            I think it says it all perfectly.

  1. Michelle,

    I love that you posted that video. Also, praying for Haiti. What a blessing that you get to be in such brokenness... although it is so painful for you and the country God has you there. I have to remind myself that ALL the time.... hang in there love!
