Aftershock

Well I definitely felt that one.  4.2 according to http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/last_event/world_haiti.html I thought someone was banging on our door.  I was sleeping and having not a very good sleep at that.  I woke David and ran out of the room.  It only lasted a few seconds.  I guess that it was located not that far from here just off the coast at Petit Gouve .  If you google map the location it shows you where it was.  First thing I did was run outside and I did not see James, so I ran back in and upstairs, where Gabby told me James had ran down already.  Gabby has been in Haiti since Jan 16.  She went right back to bed.  That encouraged me a little as she has been through a lot of aftershocks.  I still ran back outside with the others.  I am quite awake now as I usually do not run around in the middle of the night.  Hopefully soon I can go back to sleep.

In reflection:
This gives new meaning to the scriptures that talk about the whole earth groaning in anticipation of Christ's return.  I am not sure how anyone could experience it and not know that there is a God who is in control.  I serve a Great and Powerful God!  The Great I Am!! 

Another scripture that comes to mind is the one that says the rocks will cry out if we don't praise God.  They definitely cried out in Haiti.  What will it take for Canada to wake up? 

Right now I am not experiencing fear, but rather a sense of awe at how great God is.

I have heard Haitians say that the earthquake was needed here to break the bonds that Satan had on this land.  I heard that in Canada but it was met with skeptacism and an attitude that those that believed this were judging Haiti.  But to hear it out of the mouth of the Haitians is a confirmation to me that the bonds are being broken.  Halelujah!!  The facts speak for themselves.  The people of Haiti are turning to God.  Continue to pray that Voodoo would lose it's power and that more people would turn to God - not just in Haiti but in Canada as well.
