Our summer travel route took us from home base in Indiana to North Carolina, Alabama and Florida, and back to home base, about 2,121 miles over 18 days.
A few days’ vacation in a log cabin in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in Tennessee before all our meetings began was a much-needed break.
The Smoky Mountains are just breath-taking. And they reminded us of Haiti—the jaw-dropping beauty, the mountains-beyond-mountains-beyond-mountains, the potential of Haiti, if not always today’s reality for every Haitian.
We hiked.
We jumped over rocks.
We asked strangers to take pictures of our family.
I asked our younger one to stand here and there, turn, so I can take photos.
We spent time thinking not of the tasks waiting on our desks, but of our dreams and 'what if's', knowing we serve Almighty God who can do the impossible.
And I, for one, did not want to leave.
