Haiti

So this past week has been very busy for me, I have many projects at work. So my personal time is very limited and I haven't had time to write. Work has been crazy with tight deadlines and unrealistic time lines as usual. That's the nature of this buisness. While its been a very crazy week, I have made time to catch up on the news and the devasation in Haiti.


Haiti was hit by a massive 7.5 earthwuake as we are all aware. The devastation is everywhere in pictures and news reports everyday. While this is not the first time Haiti has been hit by a natural disaster this was the worst. In the days following the quake help has been arriving from all over the world. Every country has sent some kind of help to this country and their people. Its nice to see all the help pouring in but its also sad to know that this type of tragedy has to happen for us to come together. It has not all been smooth and even this tragedy hasn't stop certain individuals from making dumb comments about the situtation. I believe in freedom of speech but I also believe there is a place and time for everything and now is not the time to spill your venom.


It's been hard to watch the news and see the pictures that only show a small part of the devastation. This is enough for me to realize that we as people sometimes take life for granted.
The problems we face everyday are small in comparision to what the people of Haiti and other poor countries face everyday. The people of Haiti have nothing they've lost everything homes, kids, parents, grandparents, friends neighbors and even there security. But they haven't lost there faith in God. We should all take a moment to thank god for everything we have and everyting we don't need. And when you lay down in your bed to sleep remember to say a prayer for those who won't have a place to lay there head tonight.

May God bless the people of Haiti and may the lord walk with them...

Much love
