If you’ve ever done any sort of international relief work, you know that a couple of things happen when you get home:
- Some people want to know everything about your trip and,
- the other people just can’t wait for you to shut up about it.
Those expectations, either way, will affect how you are processing your experience. And, I would think, most people are unprepared to give an adequate account—short or long—the moment they step off the plane.
That brings me to my last experience. It’s been about a week since I returned from Haiti and I think I’m ready to share a few observations from my time there. And, like I said, these thoughts are still under development, subject to change, and ultimately unable to describe the totality of what God is doing there, or even just what He is doing through me.
