God Is A 3 MPH God....He is taking His sweet little time.

"In Haiti there is such a thing called “Haitian time." If something is scheduled at 4, then people might start showing up at 4:30 and it may not actually start until 5. This is how everything happens, from soccer games to meetings. I will admit, I have never been the most timely person, so going to Haiti and having time be laid back was easier for me than others that went with me. But as Americans, who rush through each and every day with a million things to do we don’t see “Haitian time” as a cultural norm, but something that is wrong with their country. Our arrogance starts to cloud our eyes and we say “they’re just too lazy to get here on time” or “they must not care about this enough to be here on time"."
"The Haitian people do things on their own time without worrying about countless other activities. They also enjoy the moments of time God has blessed them with and soak up His true beauty. Some Haitians do have school and work to attend, but afterwards, their time is used for whatever they need it for. They know what needs to be done, and their philosophy is that if they don’t get it done today, there is always tomorrow. In America, we are so focused on the next step that we completely miss God’s beauty that is being shown to us in the now. Although we both have 24 hours in a day, it amazes me how polar opposite and extreme America and Haiti use it".
