Things I cant forget about the earthquake.

Tonight I was in my room at the Dopf's House listening to Christian music and playing with the kids, we were laughing and dancing, felt very happy and good... Suddenly, I was thinking about my own nieces and nephew. I used to play with them a lot in Haiti... and later I think about Haiti and the quake. I stopped playing cause I couldn't. I felt that I was in Haiti in the earthquake was going to happen... I saw things that I never remember and talk about before tonight.It was so fast, so deep so strange, so scary that day of January 12. it was like some time when you are having a bad dream and after when you wake up you see that it's not real, it's a dream. You feel very happy that it was a dream... but "it was true" 45 seconds.. 45 little seconds. people that was by the epicenter of the earthquake in Haiti that day, like me, did not experience these 45 seconds the same way. Some cant talk now to share with us, they are not in this world, some cant walk to show us where they was... when I was in Haiti, any time I saw that house I was going to enter which is collapsed now, I ask my self why I am alive. But I do know now.
Now I remember why I was talking to the Vodoo priest that day. When he asked me to stop and wanted to try my bicycle. Mostly they don't talk very often to people. if I didn't stop, I would be inside the house and may be I would lost my life, or got damaged. But even if he stopped me, he didn't saved me. Its why God say : "I will use your enemies to rescue you"
I would like to know if he is still alive. when I will be back to Haiti next week, I would like to find him and tell him that God used him to save me. Now its is turn to be using by God to save him, not from the earthquake but hell.

I cant forget these 45 seconds. it's take 23 328 000 seconds from the fecundation to the to the last second of deliver of the the new baby. so confuse and hard for u and me to believe, right? but it's true. the same way that is true, it is also true that one life(23 328 000 seconds) was giving for millions and millions of life(infinity of seconds) The Bible says it clearly and many people had a new life because Jesus died.
Many people died from the earthquake and now all the world want to change haiti, they give a lot of money for Haiti and lot of attention, it will take time lot of energy, lot of strategy. its might be difficult or impossible to have a Haiti that everyone wish to have a day, but only the lord, our God can change Haiti.
Good night post more soon

  1. Wow Rigan. Great. It's true that God used an unbeliever to save your life. Maybe God can use you or us to save his life when we're back in Haiti.

    Love you. It's hard to imagine the reality of the earthquake. Those horrible, gut wrenching days of not knowing what happened to you. But it's easier for me to forget now because I have you. It's not easy for you to forget because you lived every second of it.. couldn't escape from it.. still can't escape from it. Maybe sometimes I need to be reminded of how the earthquake is still haunting you.

    I'm here for you always. <3 Lisa
