Mission Trip - Cancelled!

I cannot begin to describe my feelings right now.  Our mission trip has been "postponed" for most of the team - well, most likely for all, except for me...my trip will most likely be cancelled unless they reschedule for sometime after June 1.  The baby is due in mid April and I cannot miss that.  In fact, I joked last night with "K" and told her that I have been given information on another team who is looking for additional team members (not that I would go with another team) for a trip March 14 - April 4...she said, "yeah, ah mom the baby is due in April - NO!" ha ha, I laughed.  Please check out the blogs I follow, they really give some insight to the real stuff.  These people are going to need our help and prayers for a long, long time. When listening to the radio reports or watching the TV news reports - don't forget to look for the positive stories...they are out there! I just read that a Lafayette nurse who had not been heard from since she landed at PAP a hour prior to the earthquake, had been heard from, I watched CNN this am and heard of a little girl they thought had been orphaned and her father showed up with her photo and they were reunited.  Those stories are there and will continue.  I am feeling overwlemed with emotions.  Although, i think today maybe better.  Yesterday I couldn't talk about it or even think about it without crying.  I have a hard time NOT watching something about Haiti.  That's about all I do watch. My heart hurts and is heavy.  It's something most people can't comprehend.  But once you have been there its hard to get these people who have so litte but yet have so much out of your head - they NEVER leave your heart! Just don't forget to pray!
