It’s 2025

Per the usual, I woke up early this morning. I woke up to many messages like this:

Haitians love celebrating the new year. I love sleep. While many friends were texting at midnight last night, I was sleeping.

So this morning I went through and answered each message with my own “Happy New Year” message.

And one person wrote back just after 5 a.m.: Idelmy. Sweet Idelmy.

My first conversation of 2025 was life-giving, encouraging, a reminder of the goodness of God.

My conversation with Idelmy reminded me that loving Haiti is worth the struggle, that knowing Haiti is worth the sorrow, and investing in one Haitian can change everything.

Glwa pou Bondye.
