#YYC4HAITI

The devastation in Haiti has been on the fore front of everyone's mind lately, including mine. I have cried, prayed and rejoiced, day by day, hour by hour and minute by minute. Once again I am overwhelmed with emotion on how the world has come together to do the best they can to help this, almost non existent, area rise from the ashes. I have witnessed God's best work at hand during this disaster.

One group of ladies has impressed me the most and they are the women behind #YYC4HAITI. @that_angela, @C_DIG, @alex_ruiz took Twitter by storm and have put an amazing event together to raise fund for relief in Haiti. I have followed these ladies tweets to early hours in the morning as they prepare for this amazing events. Visit the #YYC4HAITI site to see all of the hard work they have put in to this http://yyc4haiti.com/main. I promise you these women have put their entire heart and soul into this event and I give you ladies a standing ovation for all your hard work.

Here is a description of the event that I borrowed from the invite on Facebook:
