Unexplainable...

Sorry for the silence...
I know that I promised pictures of the finished work of the team, I unfortunately don't have any but if you haven't yet checked out Randy and Karen's blog, I highly recommend it as they have some more recent pictures of the site.http://randyandkarenlodder.blogspot.com/
As for the silence, sometimes life in Haiti is unexplainable so rather than trying to explain it, I choose to keep silent.  When North Americans visit Haiti they usually comment on the obvious joys and difficulties of life in Haiti; large nice houses, warm weather, beaches in driving distance, beautiful mountains, overwhelming poverty, rough roads, HOT weather, unending delays the list is endless...
Although all this is true, there are many more joys and difficulties that cannot be easily explained or seen and only someone who has lived in Haiti for any length of time could ever begin to understand.  The last few weeks have been difficult for me, for a variety of reasons, all of which seem trivial and insignificant when written in black and white but are real and significant to me. 
Please pray for unending patience and a renewed sense of peace.  More importantly pray that through my weaknesses His strength will be revealed.
"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."  II Corinthains 12:9

On a happy note, we have another team arriving soon from Manitoba.  They will continue to work on the new property and we hope that the school will be able to re-open sometime in May.  Myself, the teachers and the students eagerly look forward to that day!!
