Oceans
Back in 2014, my mom sent me a link to listen to the new song "Oceans" by Hillsong United. Little did she know just how important this song would become on our journey towards becoming missionaries. Then in 2015, we found out my dad had pancreatic cancer. It is an ugly disease and many nights I stayed up late doing research and crying and praying. There was one night that I was listening to "Oceans" and praying and I sensed God was going to do something big. My dad only lived two more months on this earth, but God was indeed working on something in my life.
Fast forward to our vision trip to Haiti this year. Throughout the week, some of the missionaries serving there would ask me if God had confirmed that we were meant to serve at the Cowman school. Sadly, I hadn't had an overwhelming sign or feeling that I was supposed to be there (but Shawn had). Then on our last day there, on a Friday, the school held chapel on the porch. During worship, the sweet students and faculty sang "Oceans" and I knew that this was God telling me I was meant to be there.
Just the other day, our aunt came to visit and she came along to church with us. Guess what song they played? Yes, but what's the big deal about that? While the worship band played the song, our aunt looked at Shawn and I with tears in her eyes and said, "This song is for you."
It has been a long journey towards becoming a missionary, and that's a story for another day, but we have our official number! (#40694) That means you can find us on the internet and help us reach our financial goal so that we can get to Vaudreil, Haiti by August 1, 2019. We cannot do this alone and would love the most awesome people to support us on this journey!
