Well, some of the things I hoped to see this summer are not going to happen.
I had hoped that two of my Haitian leaders would be able to attend a 6 week training session in the Ohio starting on June 30th, but their US visas were not approved.
I was also hoping that Quisqueya Chapel's eligible voters would approve the proposal for the Center of Hope and that construction would begin this summer. However, on June 8th at the congregational meeting, the vote was to continue to evaluate the proposal and postpone the final vote until September.
I read a quote this morning that helped me overcome my disappointment:
"I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: "Give me light that I might tread safely into the unknown." And he replied: "Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way."
I have hopes and dreams about what I would like to see God do in our ministry this next year, but of course I can't make these things happen, and so I need to step into the darkness and walk by faith, holding onto God's hand all the while.
"...And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Mt, 28:20
