We are safely in Haiti. We met in the church parking lot at 3am and got to Haiti at 4pm. No troubles with weather or flight delays.

October Team is getting ready to leave Calvary at 3am Tuesday morning. We hope and pray the storm won't affect our flights.

DO NOT EXPECT to be treated fairly in this life.  People will say and do hurtful things to you, things that you don’t deserve.  When someone mistreats you, try to view it as an opportunity to grow in grace.  See how quickly you can forgive the one who has wounded you.  Don’t be concerned about setting the record straight.  Instead of obsessing about other people’s opinions of you, keep your focus on Me.  Ultimately, it is My view of you that counts.

NO MATTER WHAT  your circumstances may be, you can find Joy in My Presence.  On some days Joy is generously strewn along your life-path, glistening in the sunlight.  On days like that, being content is as simple as breathing the next breath or taking the next step.  Other days are overcast and gloomy; you feel the strain of the journey, which seems endless.  Dull gray rocks greet your gaze and cause your feet to ache.  Yet Joy is still attainable.  Search for it as for hidden treasure.

BE PREPARED TO SUFFER FOR ME, in My Name.  All suffering has meaning in My Kingdom.  Pain and problems are opportunities to demonstrate your trust in Me.  Bearing your circumstances bravely—even thanking Me for them—is one of the highest forms of praise.  This sacrifice of thanksgiving rings golden-toned bells of Joy throughout heavenly realms.  On earth also, your patient suffering sends our ripples of good tidings in ever-widening circles.

IN ORDER TO HEAR MY VOICE, you must release all your worries into My care.  Entrust to Me everything that concerns you.  This clears the way for you to seek My Face unhindered.  Let Me free you from fear that is hiding deep inside you.  Sit quietly in My Presence, allowing My Light to soak into you and drive our any darkness lodged within you.

I AM PERPETUALLY WITH YOU, taking care of you.  That is the most important fact of your existence.  I am not limited by time or space; My Presence with you is a forever-promise.  You need not fear the future, for I am already there.  When you make that quantum leap into eternity, you will find Me awaiting you in heaven.   Your future is in My hands; I release it to you day by day, moment by moment.  Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow.
