"The Spirit of the Lord GOD [is] upon me; because the
LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the
meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to
proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the
prison to [them that are] bound; " Isaiah 61:1 KJV

" Had Our Plans Prevailed"
by Maury Roszel, January 2005

We went to Haiti with a plan, a good plan, well laid out, thought out, we had nearly discussed
amongst ourselves to nauseating proportions, never before chronicled in the archives of man's
history.  Had I used my God-given heart to do the planning all the disapppointment I felt
would have been scratched off our travel or travail itinerary from the get go, " We Go, We Go
NOW".

Praise God, somehow when I wasn't looking, my God-given heart tossed my heart into the
garbage- laydened landside of Haiti.  Now able to see again, I realized that we had not come to
Haiti to see what we could do for Pastor Juste, and the children.  We were there to see what
God had already and continually does for them for their faith in Him, Jesus Christ!  God is
good, all the time, everyday.

God took charge of our plans so that we could not have busied ourselves to the point that we
have missed everything.  We would have missed seeing that when there is no hope,  you find
great faith.    In proverty, you have riches in the Lord.  In sorrow, abundant joy, and most
important that if we walk in our faith, we can raise a church from the ashes.   The mountain
tops of Haiti, or the hills of Pennsylvania, makes no difference to God, they are all His.

Lift our voices to heaven and the angels will sing in our ears, Holy Ghost rain down, spin our
lives and our church.  God will rain down, and grow us up in Jesus!  Yea, and Amen!!!
