It's just after 9 PM and I'm sitting here so glad I don't hear gun fire or other loud happenings. It may be because of the rain, but for whatever reason, I'll praise God!!
Things seem to be slowing down a bit...but we'll know for certain tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow is a holiday here in Haiti. But even if that is the reason things quiet down, we'll still Praise God!! People won't be real anxious to get back into protest mode, when they need to get food. They'll let it go to get back to life again. At least that is what we are praying for.
The president has asked that all protests stop so that medical care can be gotten to those suffering with Cholera. Pray with us that the people listen to his advice. So much has gone on in these few days and it's so hard to realize that innocent people have died because of the desire of a few to "show their power". And not only the ones who died, and leave family behind, but those who have suffered because they could not travel and get their produce to market, and buy needed food, and get medicine for illness. Yes, those with cholera are suffering because meds can't get to them, but the whole realm of people are suffering as well.
We are praying that this will stop, but we are also praying for the people who started it. We pray God will step in and make Himself real to them. Yes they have anger, but our God is a God of forgiveness and mercy. There must be other ways to deal with what they are upset about. Pray that God will show them how to do it in a way that doesn't cost lives or harm lives at all.
No real news at this point, but still need prayers to go heavenward for this poor country. Pray for the leaders to be faced with the reality of the Lord, and that they will have to face Him and acknowledge Him!!
Thanks for being with us through this rough time. We know God has heard the prayers lifted on our behalf, and on behalf of the people here.
