One Amazing Trip
I am a girl who still has hope.
I wonder what tomorrow will bring, even though it is never promised.
I see world hunger.
I want to help the precious and hurting people.
I am a girl who still has hope.

I pretend to be a soldier walking around the walls of Jericho.
I feel the sunshine of Haiti on my face.
I touch a fried plantain.
I worry I won’t make a big enough impact on the people there.
I cry when I see how the Haitian people are so joyful with nothing and I still want more when I
have more than I could ever need.
I am a girl who still has hope.

I understand that there will be brokenness in the world.
I say to the people how we are loved so much by God and Jesus.
I dream I will be able to return to Haiti again.
I try to serve the least of these in the United States as well.
I hope they now know the way to salvation.
I am a girl who still has hope.

I long to have boldness.
I see their sparkling eyes and loving hearts open.
I know the people in our area are in in desperate need too.
I am a young woman ready to go wherever the Lord may call me.
I am a girl who still has hope.
