At a loss for words

I went to the feeding program for the first time today.  Last summer I watched from the rooftop a few times, but fear kept me from really getting involved.  

Being in Haiti is already a heartbreaking experience. 

There's verse in a worship song (Hosanna by Hillsong United) that does a better job explaining how I'm feeling:

Break my heart from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdom's cause
How do you find words to desribe what it's like to feed the poor and hungry?  Their bright smiles showed nothing of their suffering, and I was the one fighting back tears as I served them beans and rice. 

I am still overwhelmed.

    Yay! Glad to hear you went. Please tell Yvell and Makenzy that Jessica loves them and misses them so much (you'll probably become their best friend after that ;)). Alicia can point them out to you if you don't know who they are. Can't wait to read your blogs throughout the week.
