In the last couple years, Angela Taylor, a friend and fellow teacher for 7 years, made several trips to Haiti. Each time she returned, she shared with the students and teachers about her trip- what God had done in her and was doing in Haiti (specifically Sonlight Academy in Port-de-Paix). She spoke with a passion and it was evident that her heart was with the people in Haiti. She told me she would up and move there to teach if she could take her family with her. Many times she would pull me aside and try to convince me to go with her the next time. I think she realized that if I went one time, I'd fall in love with the people like she did. I kept telling her next time. I had been going to New Mexico during the summer, and finances had been tight. Then, she was diagnosed with cancer. I kept saying that God wasn't done with her, it wasn't her time to go. But, in November 2012, God chose to take her home. It was a hard loss, because she was a partner in teaching and we shared a passion for serving others. I realized that life is short, that any day can be my last day on earth, and that I couldn't keep putting off what God had called me to do. So, I took my first step.....
