I've Got This

It's amazing how little I can accomplish or concentrate on when I have a 5 year old yammering away at me. GRRR..... I am going to try and drown out his yapping and get this written down.

As of today, the marketplace is now opening on October 15th. We are set to be in Haiti October 26th to 30th for the women's conference. We need to go to graduate our first class and buy their inventory for them, the women's conference and then in December when the dedication is going to be where the President of Haiti will be there. Of course we want to be there for all three and of course we don't have the money to do so. So I've been working on a genius indigogo or kickstarter campaign because I'm thinking people may want to help us get to Haiti to see the grand opening but they just don't want to give money to have a parent be able to feed their child, but I digress.

Anyways, today we get an email from Bobby and Sherry that they are waiting for Jentzen Franklin (the pastor who has raised the million dollars to build the marketplace) to see when his schedule will allow for him to come to Haiti for the dedication. Before we were told it would be the first weekend in December and now one of the dates they are shooting to him is October 31st. If you glance back up towards the top of this post, we will be in Haiti from October 26th to 30th. We haven't bought our tickets yet - if there was a way we could kill two birds with one stone ie... one trip and accomplish two huge things that would be... well... huge.  It is still summer time and my 5 year old hasn't started school yet so in the spirit of not doing insane or becoming an alcoholic I have found that he will play at the pool for hours. And since he can swim and loves it, it is a great way to keep him entertained and have him go to bed at a decent hour :)  So as I check my emails I see this information about the possibility of October 31st being the dedication date and then Sherry sends us an email that Jentzen's people will give her a date by Friday and as I'm reading it I hear (not audibly of course) "I've got this." And I have to stop and think to myself that despite everything I can see, or actually CAN'T see in our bank account that God has this. He knows what He is doing even if we don't have a clue.

So I'm writing on this to say that I will have to give a little smile if Jentzen picks October 31st b.c then I know God's got our back.
