Coincidence?

Hello again…

It was another beautiful day in paradise…actually another very warm, dusty, dirty day…but filled with much beauty. Today I once again split off from the team to order some supplies for Pastor Myrtil’s home in City Soleil as well as assess one of the widow’s homes.

The widow that we visited with is Rose Marie Camille. She lives in the community of Petion-ville. Her home was completely damaged. She was home feeling sic with her oldest daughter Betty (30) when the earthquake hit and I am surprised that they survived. She has two sons (24 and 20) who are both going to university. Above is a picture of Rose Marie and Betty with Guercy. In the background is her house…or what is left of it.

I often here people talk about events that happen in our lives as “coincidences”. Well I, for one, believe that nothing happens this way, but because God orders our lives. Here is an example. While we were walking up to check out the damaged house I realized that we were being followed by a young man in a suit. I didn’t think about it much but he kept following us. One of the first things that I was thinking about in my assessment was that it would take at least a week to clear all of this debris. It would be some pretty messy work as well as dangerous. When Guercy and Rose Marie asked the young man who he was and why was he here he let us know that he was with the government and that he was here to determine what was needed to clear this site and when he could get started. Talk about an awesome experience. After we finish the home in City Soleil we will start on this house.
