Decisions, Decisions....

Saturday evening, my husband and I attended a benefit dinner for the Haitian ministry that we support. It was a wonderful evening with a nice dinner, (I made good choices!), speakers for what the ministry is about, and a silent auction. As I was there listening to the speakers (several were my friends) and looking at the slides of the things happening in Haiti, I felt a tug to go back. I went to Haiti on a mission trip two summers ago. We had a team of 11. Each team that goes has a different focus. When you're there, you live like the Haitians, eat like the Haitians, and love on the Haitian people. We helped some elderly women paint their new houses too. EDTC is a wonderful ministry because they aren't doing the work for the people. They're equipping the people to work for themselves, to earn a decent living, get out of their post-earthquake tents, and to clean up the garbage everywhere via a new recycling center. Most of all, they're equipping people through a discipleship and literacy school to reach their own people for Jesus. Now I have a decision to make. I was planning on going to Rally for my jewelry business in July. Now, I want to go to Haiti on a team in June. My husband says that I cannot do both. My business has been slow so far this year. It's hard to fight the frustration of a business that is in a down time. Every jeweler has one periodically. I also think my "why" is changing. My "why": the reason I am part of Premier. I want to use my jewelry business to further the work in Haiti. It was part of my why, but now I think it's going to be my main focus. That is why I am leaning more and more on going to Haiti in a few months. I have to make my decision very soon....like in the next week. I have to admit, I already know I'm going to Haiti. I hope my Premier family understands and is supportive. I also hope they share all the fabulous training when they return from Rally!
