Dust to Beautiful Things

It's been really busy here with new teams coming in and my mom leaving on Friday. I know you guys have been waiting on a post so here is a short little post. More stories to come soon annnnd pictures! 

In the past couple weeks I've taken some trips up the coast to drop off a teammate, spend a day at the beach and go to the look-out to see Haiti spread out below. This song has played in my head over and over as I've seen more and more of Haiti. There is beauty in the Haitian people, the ocean view, the mountains, the food etc. There's also pain, hurt, brokenness and dust that settles over everything. But read till the end of the song & you'll find something beautiful.

All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
