Unbelievable
I was sitting at the Civil Air Patrol waiting for my nephew to finish his meeting when my phone rang. It was my step-mom. She was not her usual exuberant self. I asked what was wrong. She told me a huge earthquake hit struck Haiti, her homeland. An EARTHQUAKE in HAITI?? That just doesn't happen! So I thought, anyways. She was very distressed, as she had no idea the magnitude of it, and if her little sister and family were ok or not. Through God's grace, her brother in NY heard from their sister just the following morning. A short, but momentous call assuring them that they were alive. Her house collapsed, but she and her 7 yr old daughter escaped with their lives. Her husband, who was teaching college, escaped as well. His students...did not. Very devastating. They are now living on the street, homeless, jobless and trying to find a way to make it. But with God's grace, they will find a way, and hopefully will be able to contribute to a new and better than ever Haiti.
