La Limyè Ministries

One year ago today I moved to the beautiful island of Haiti. One year ago today I can remember mixed emotions. My life had been shattered and would never be mended again.

(I am still praying about where all the guys are!)... but since I am no expert at this life I have decided to look at the words of Amy Carmichael and Elizabeth Elliott for advice! First question: Are you a fool? First answer: YES! For the same reason Apostle Paul was, for Christs sake "We follow a stripped and crucified Savior, those words go very deep. They touch everything- motives, purposes, decisions, everything. Let them be with you as you prepare your spirit for the new life. Dear, you are coming to a battlefield. Don't play through life." "A new arrival might at first see only flowers and babies and bright faces and you will feel, I hope, a general sweetness and happiness...under the sweetness there is a real cross." "Is the work for which we want the money Gods chosen work for us or our chosen work for Him?" "If one is pr
