Kijan sante w ye?

I have just returned from Haiti, and over and over I was asked this question, “Kijan sante w ye?” (“How is your health?”)

And each time I answered, “For today, I am well. I can not speak of tomorrow or next year, but, for today, I feel I am well. Although I was told the medication I take would cause many problems, for now, I do not have them, by God’s grace.”

Can any of us really ask for anything more than to know that, for today, all is well?

The Fueled by Faith Podcast

I recently had the opportunity to talk to my friend, Emily, on her podcast - Fueled by Faith. Though the conversation was not what we had planned, we believe it is exactly what God intended for us both on a morning when we were both clinging to the promise of Psalm 73:26:

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever.

By God’s grace

I left Haiti on March 20, unsure of when I would be able to return. At that point, surgery followed by chemotherapy was scheduled for April.

After changing practitioners, I had surgery May 2, facing a whole range of possibilities and scenarios.

But, by God’s grace, on July 20, I returned to the place that has captured my heart like none other. And what a joyous reunion it has been.

I will cherish these precious, fleeting moments with those who have the deepest part of my heart.

GCT is part of my story, but it will not keep me from living my life.

The gift of my Haitian family

Recently the staff of Haiti Awake shared the following:

Sè Becky,

Your family from your second home, Haiti, want you to know how much we love you and pray for you. You are a gift to us from God.

Knowing you is a privilege. For the past eleven years, we have learned so much from you. Your love for Haiti, especially for Haiti Awake, is obvious.

Thank you for walking with us in every trial that we have known in Haiti, even in the midst of your own trials. Now we can walk with you.

You are in our hearts and prayers.

We love you very much.
