Thank you to everyone who has been lifting me up in prayer
the past few months! I have decided to be done serving in Haiti for the time
being, and just want to highlight a few reasons why I have chosen this
direction.
Living in Haiti and serving alongside Many Hands for Haiti
has been an incredible journey. I have made so many friends that I will cherish
in my heart for years to come. I have learned so much being here and I embrace
everything I have learned from the Lord, my fellow Haitian staff, and my
co-worker Heather. I have learned a lot about trust, faithfulness, love, and
sacrifice. I am blessed to have been a part of the work being done here and I
find that it has grown me so much into a stronger young woman.
I believe the Lord is calling me elsewhere, although where
exactly, I am not yet certain. I have been praying about open doors and people
to be placed in my path when the timing is right in moving forward with other
ministry options. God has been showing me what it looks like to trust Him and
the plan that He has – even when I cannot see that far ahead. Sometimes things
are black and sometimes they’re white. But this next step for me: it’s grey. I
don’t know what will be next, but what I do know is that I serve a God of
color, beauty, and vibrancy and I choose to trust that He knows what’s next.
These past few months the Lord has been tugging on my heart,
speaking tenderly to me like He does so well. I felt like my hands were open
but He was not dropping anything into them. The wise Father comforted me by
revealing a few profound questions. Can I accept Him anyway? Even with these
empty hands? Can He be enough in this moment? It comforts me to know that my
God sees so many more steps ahead of what I see. Right now, I believe He is
calling me to obedience, like He did when He called me to Haiti. I did not know
what would be ahead of me; I just knew that I was to be there. I knew that I
was called to not only go, but to trust Him and act faithfully. That is what I
am trying to do now.
My love for Haiti is still strong and I love the work being
done here. I am awaiting the Lord on what ministry outside of Haiti looks like
and I am very eager in pursuing His further plans for me and for the expanding
of His Kingdom, whether in formal ministry or otherwise.
I am so grateful that you have been following me and
experiencing things with me on this incredible journey. Bondye bon (God is
good) J
Trusting Him,
Cassidy
