I actually started this post before Jan 12, 2010 before the massive earthquake hit. My post was going to be about a coloring book that I illustrated and designed through JAMSbooks Publishers with Doctors and mission teams from Operation Blessing. I’ve been so honored to be a part of this project and use my talents and God given gifts to help these people. The coloring book is a tool that will be used to teach the children and families about staying healthy. It instructs them about anti-parasites.
On the day after we signed the proof of it to be printed and shipped for the next trip to Haiti, a 7.3 earthquake devastated the area. I’ve spent the past month studying the people and culture so that I could accurately illustrate the book and seeing what is now taking place is all too close to me. One of the doctor’s involved in the project and who personally put up a lot of the funding to get it done is in Haiti right now. She is right there at the center of the devastation helping in every way she can.
What this means for the future of the coloring book, I have no idea, That seems a bit unimportant at this point – but one thing I do know, is that now all eyes are looking at Haiti. And as I studied that country this past month, I truly kept wondering how a country of people with so little could be so ignored by other countries of people with so much. It is my prayer and hope that this disaster will wake us up and cause us to share the many blessings we have been given. There is so much we can do. Please don’t sit back and think you have no way of helping these people. You do. The little you have is a fortune to them.

[...] If you’ve followed my blog this past year, you know that one wonderful fruit bearing opportunity I’ve had this past year is to work with JAMSBooks and Operation Blessing on a coloring book project for the children in Haiti. I got the assignment the day after I obeyed God and left a position with a book company that I knew wasn’t allowing me to be in His will. It was a big step of Faith for me then. When I got asked to do this I had confirmation from God that He had plans to use me in other ways. That was December and I volunteered my unemployed free time for the next month and a half to work on this project for the children in Haiti. The coloring book went to print the day of the terrible Earthquake.- I won’t get into that again – here’s the link to that blog if you want to re-read. [...]
