I love my mama.

So, my mom is leaving on Friday morning for Haiti.  It is her second time returning to do medical missions.  I love her generous heart and her willingness to help others whether or not she is feeling well physically.  I just had a wonderful talk with her and hearing her describe packing for her trip and such; well, it made me super excited for our trip this summer!!!  It's kind of crazy that I forget how tired I am when we return stateside and how exhausting the traveling can be.  But, it's cool.  I love these children so much; I'd do just about anything to see them as much as I can.  Including emptying my pocketbook.  Fundraising has been tough to say the least.  I am holding on to little slivers of truth each day and asking God to show me that HE is faithful. 
Today, I'm so thankful for grace.  In the world's eyes, I'm kind of a flub who doesn't have all the right qualities.  In my Father's eyes, I'm beautiful.  He SHOWERS me with love and consistently shows me that He can use my lemonness for his glory.  He really doesn't even allow me to question it anymore.  As soon as I get all cynical, He steps up.  So, be careful regarding judgements you make of people.  They may seem like the last person God could ever employ in his bidness, but they could be doing a lot more and being used more than you'll ever know.  If He can use me, He can use a n y b o d y.
