Have you ever been so moved to tears you thought your heart might burst?! Or have you ever felt even for a single moment that your heart was beating with the very Father heart of God?! I have.
This month I’ve had the amazing privilege of being a dita (cousin) to 20-30 amazing Filipino children who live at the New Faith Family Orphanage. And while each moment I spend there is a memory I never wanna forget… there’s one moment that sticks out even more then the rest.
The night began with Team Seven heading to the orphanage to do devotions with the kids. Upon arrival we found out that one of the volunteers that had been there for a while was leaving and that this would be a time to say goodbye and to
spend in worship.
The worship music began playing as the kids ran up to the volunteer giving her big hugs and weeping as they said their goodbyes. My heart ached for the children, another solid person in their life was leaving… I couldn’t even imagine what that was like. My teammates and I sat on the floor with the kids and held them as they cried… trying to comfort them the best we could… I remember thinking Father this isn’t fair… how is this fair… Who will love them… when no one else is around?! And I remember getting my answer in a very unique way. I dunno how many of you have been in a room with 20 – 30 orphans singing worship and praise to God at the top of their lungs. 
But it’s one of the most powerful things I’ve ever experienced in my life time.

There in that little room that night, I got my answer… as the little boy in my arms belted out, “Heal my heart and make it clean, open up my eyes to the things unseen, show me how to love like you have loved me.” With tears running down his face… he sang out to God with all his might. I knew in that moment how much God loved these kids, and how He watched over them at every second. They were His… He was there only solid thing. That was the answer. It was beautiful.
