Humdinger

This past week has been a humdinger and I let it get the best of me. Two of the goats we imported were killed and gutted for meat by thieves climbing a 15 foot wall, I had to redo several papers for the adoption at the 11th hour for triple the price and the list goes on and on. It makes me go to a bad place one my heart doesn't like because I start to resent everyone and everything in Haiti and I know its not right, there are bad people and good people everywhere. It just seems like this week all the pains were close to me. This morning I had this huge lump in my chest and wanted to cry. A guy in Merger came up asking for a goat and I stayed calm and tried not to cry saying I can't handle one more person asking me for something - I just want to leave. He said don't you're just to nice to people. That didn't help, the lump just got bigger. I started to leave and of course someone wanted a ride. I love to bless people by sharing my vehicle but on a day like today it feels like one more tug. But I smiled and said come on. I know this guy and help him with his pigs sometimes. He told me to stop the truck for a second and he ran out in a field and came back with a huge watermelon and says here this is for you. I had a cantalope saved for you but haven't seen you so please take this watermelon instead. I said thanks you have no idea what you have done. You were Jesus to me today and the lump in my chest dissolved.
