God has an amazing way of humbling us. Keeping us on our toes, so to speak. We've been trying to figure out when we'll be going to Haiti to help out in their time of dire need. We thought we had it all planned out, but then schedules got in the way. Perhaps we didn't seek God's guidance first. I don't know. I do know that He wants us down there. We are to care for the poor and the needy (Matt. 25). But it's to be done according to His timetable and His will. That's what all of us struggle with from time to time, I guess. Doing what we know is "for God," but it still has to be with His guidance and to His glory. Keep praying for the team that we are able to discern His plan for us.
"Now listen, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.' Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, 'If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that.' " James 4:13-15
