What a crazy week it has been. we started working at the hospital on Tuesday I did not think it would be that hard but boy was I wrong. As we got there and started looking around at where we would be working I felt really uncomfortable, I usually can just jump in with kids and play but this time was different and I really did not know why. The kids at the hospital have Cerebral palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) is an umbrella term encompassing a group of non-progressive,[1][2] non-contagious motor conditions that cause physical disability in human development, chiefly in the various areas of body movement.[3] (from wikipeadia)
As we were learning more about the kids finding out things like only 20% or the kids actually have family that comes to see them, or the only people that care for the kids are the nurses it just broke my heart. I was really lost as to why God would let these kids be created like that.
(google image) During our team time last night one of our guys explained something that gave me a little more peace this does not answer everything but it brought peace.
When you look at a red flower and a white flower you think to your self what beautiful flowers but when a red and a white flower mix and make a pink flower the flowers might think that’s not beautiful at all but the next person to walk by will say what a wonderful flower. so we should see all of these kids as beautiful flowers created by God for a reason. It might be hard to comprehend but God knows best that’s what I am going to believe.
As I started letting go of my fears in the hospital at started letting God take over He lead me to a 14 year old named David. David has a wonderful smile and thinks that I am just the funniest thing ever. He laughs at everything that i do and loves when I rub his shoulders and back he has such a kind heart. I am very thankful that God lead me to him and I am excited to go back tomorrow and see him. He is a beautiful flower created by God for a reason.
Sorry this blog is so long I just had a ton to write about.
