I made my first trip to Haiti in 1998. Fell in love with my first orphan in 2000. Started a non-profit to help Haiti in 2003 and started taking teams down on short-term mission trips soon after. I fell in love with Wanna and Fritzon (and a lot of others in the same orphanage) in March of 2010 and had to wait over 2 years to start the adoption process due to the laws of Haiti and a process that is always changing. Our documents were finally submitted and accepted in the fall of 2012 and are currently moving through the court system. We are quickly (hopefully) approaching the end of our adoption. This is my blog to talk about all things related to our adoption and any thing else I think is relevant to it. Enjoy!

I Refuse!

I can't not do what is in my heart. I know not everyone understands my desire to do missions/outreach or adopt from Haiti but that is what I am called to do. We are on earth for a short time... As much as I selfishly would like to think it's all about me, life is about soooo much more! This song is my ringtone to remind me that: "I don't want to live like I don't care.... I don't want to say another empty prayer.... Oh, I refuse to sit around and wait for someone else.... To do what God has called me to do myself.... I could choose not to move.... But I refuse"
