When you educate a woman, you educate a nation.
Absolutely unreal.
When a man loves a woman, he has to become worthy of her. The higher her virtue, the more noble her character, the more devoted she is to truth, justice, goodness, the more a man has to aspire to be worthy of her. The history of civilization could actually be written in terms of the level of its women.

HAITI BLOG. Somehow, I needed the reassurance that I wasn't feeling how I was feeling for nothing. My heart wasn't breaking for the children and this country "just because", and that Haiti wasn't just another stop in long list of countries I wanted to visit." *link in BIO* Thanks @rachelleigh127 for the awesome picture!
One of the most memorable moments of camp and basically my life was baptizing 3 amazing students. Britney, my neighbor who I have known since she was 5 came to camp. It was such an amazing experience watching the Holy Spirit invade her life and remind her of His unfailing love. Jailene, the girl who speaks truth. I met her the second day of camp and was so inspired by her fire for Jesus. I was so overwhelmed and humbled when she requested that I baptize her. I can not wait to see what The Lord will do with her willing heart. Nia, the girl who can sing her socks off, and is a prayer warrior. It was such a privilege to witness her press into all the The Lord had for her this week, and I am amazed at her sweet soul. I have no words to say how honored I am that y'all would chose me to be apart of a huge moment in each one of y'all's lives. I am humbled and so excited to continue this journey with each one of you. So proud of the young women that y'all are becoming. #glorytoglory #nothingwasthesame #LYSC14 (at Trinity Pines)
NEW YORK — David Nelson’s first time in Haiti he met a four-year-old orphan boy who was sleeping on a bed of rocks. His mother and father had passed away from the earthquake that rocked the Caribbean island in 2010.
Nelson, currently in his fourth year with the NFL as the New York Jets...
Haiti.
Sweet baby girl, you have stolen my heart in a few days time. I miss your smile and hearing your little voice adding to the noise around the house. I still feel you in my arms as we rocked back and forth on the patio. You hummed along with me and as your eyes slowly closed I couldn’t stop the whispered prayersfrom flowing out of me. My prayers for you haven’t stopped since that evening. I find myself remembering our sweet moments together counting down the days till I get to see you again. You are one sassy, classy little lady and I’m glad you have captured my heart. I love you, Juanice! Soon. (at Haiti)

I am so proud to support and be apart of I'mMe. What they are doing in Haiti is amazing! I can't wait to go back and hold all of their precious faces!
A Beautiful Awakening
My time in Haiti can’t be contained in a few words. These words will only scratch the surface of what I truly experienced and felt.
Going into this trip I was expectant. God provided like only He could, and Haiti couldn’t come fast enough.
Throughout the trip I was so full. I was walking the streets of Haiti feeling like I was on top of the world. I was living and breathing a dream that God had planted in my heart less than a year ago. I was ready for whatever God was going to teach me. For real, I was “jumping up and down clapping my hands eyes squinted closed” ready. No matter how many times I look back and try to convince myself how ready I was; I wasn’t.
I wasn’t ready to see a little girl pick up vitamins of the dirty ground and stuff them in her mouth. I wasn’t ready for a little boy to repeatedly asking me for my shoes. I wasn’t ready to hear the stories of how parents have abandoned their children.
I definitely wasn’t ready to have my heart shattered while holding a little baby boy in a mountain village. I saw him sitting alone in front of a little cottage. He had dirt caked on the side of his head, and I went to wipe it off. I sat next to him and eventually pulled him into my arms. The whole time he was giving me the side eye, not trusting me, but not resisting me either. I was walking with him in my arms and a woman on my team; Beth, prayed over him. As she prayed I felt something shift. I can’t explain it honestly, because what happened the few minutes after have changed life as I know it. I began crying and praying over the little one who thankfully fell asleep. I wanted to hold him as close to me as possible. I wanted to somehow memorize his face and I wanted him to leave an imprint of his little body in my arms so I would never forget this moment. Still crying I found a shady spot to just hold him and take it all in. I cried for this baby boy who I’m sure was malnourished. I cried because I felt like I had been snatched up in the air by my ankles, and shaken out. In those few minutes holding this sweet boy I realized that all the things I wanted in this life didn’t matter. Going back to a four-year university, getting married, and making all the money in the world paled in comparison to just staring, holding, and praying for this sleeping baby in my arms.
It was in that tender moment that I knew why God had me go to Haiti. I have found my purpose, I have felt my calling, and I have found my joy.
Everyday of this whole trip I saw brokenness, but in the midst of it all my eyes were opened to the beauty. The beauty of hills that seem to cascade over each other while the clouds settled among them. The beauty plastered on the children’s faces as we danced and laughed to nothing in particular. The beauty in the quiet moments rocking a little girl to sleep on the patio. The beauty in just being completely free in worship and singing to my Savior. The beauty that shines from the eyes of those passionate about Haiti. The beauty in watching the people I got to experience Haiti with take it all in and store each experience in their hearts. There is an undeniable beauty on this island that I want everyone I love to experience too. I am blessed.
I’mMe. Thank you. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to experience Haiti with you all. I have never seen or felt so much love and truth in one home. There is a sense of authenticity and transparency that sets I’mMe apart from the others. I pray that the Lord continues to bless you as He takes you higher and higher. He is enlarging your vision, and He is faithful to complete each and every one of His promises that He has laid on each of your hearts. I am “try not to pee my pants” excited to see where God is taking I’mMe!
Haiti. The place where I experienced Jesus like never before. I can’t wait to touch your soil again, to be among your people. I carry you in me, Haiti. Your land holds beauty uncommon to the human eye. I am glad I got to see a glimpse of that beauty. I will be back soon. I can’t stay away.
“They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord, and you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted.” – Isaiah 62:12

Yesterday, my cup was overflowing. I was just so full of all things good. Things weren’t exactly going our way but we made the most of it. I want to swallow the ocean and dance on ten thousand more mountains. I was feeling Your presence and was so aware of your hand in this nation. I am absolutely, irrevocably in love with Haiti and I’mMe. I am so filled and full of joy and peace. I hope this feeling isn’t fleeting. You brought me here for a reason, and I know that these feelings are no just for here. They are to be spread every where I go.
To see what God is doing in Haiti and with I’mMe, check out their website Imme.org!
The day is here! First stop Miami, then off to Haiti early tomorrow morning! I'm still in awe of God's faithfulness. Thoughts and dreams of Haiti have turned into reality! I would also like to thank my mom! I could write a whole book about how grateful I am that she is my mother, but I can't. I don't want to start bawling in this airport. I love you mom! You always encourage me to pray harder, venture further, and love deeper! 😘 #baylitohaiti (at George Bush Intercontinental Airport)

Michael K. Williams talks about an emotional moment on the set of ‘12 Years a Slave’, moving Arsenio Hall to tears.
I have to say that the single most important lesson I learned in 25 years talking every single day to people was that there is a common denominator in our human experience. Most of us, I tell ya, we don’t want to be divided. What we want—the common denominator that I found in every single interview—is that we want to be validated. We want to be understood.
I’ve done over 35,000 interviews in my career, and as soon as that camera shuts off everyone always turns to me and inevitably in their own way ask this question: “was that ok?”
I heard it from President Bush. I heard it from President Obama. I’ve heard it from heroes and from housewives. I’ve heard it from victims and perpetrators of crime. I even heard it from BE-YON-CÉ in all of her Beyoncé-ness. She finishes performing, hands me the microphone, and says “was that ok?” [x]
