That’s where my heart was a day ago…
In little pieces.
The Lord answered my prayers and gave me children to
Love.
He gave me His children.
Beautiful children with beautiful spirits.
Life changers.
Hearing stories of there past broke my heart.
Brought me to my knees in worship.
I can’t fully understand the path people are given to
walk.
I do know God is Good.
Above all, He is good. Always.
Before the orphanage, their lives were broken.
Hopeless.
Jesus-less.
Some had been discarded by their own parents.
Some came from extremely poor families.
All came from a broken past.
Some still have anger issues.
Some beg to be loved.
Some don’t know how to be loved.
They all have dreams for their life.
BEAUTIFUL dreams.
Some didn’t want to make more connections knowing
people were going to leave again.
All still too young to fully process through what has
been.
The Lord broke the language barrier and connected
hearts.
Thank
you Jesus for connecting hearts.
Thank you Lord for breaking my heart.
Only 3 weeks later and it was time to leave.
Letting go of their tiny hands at the gate of the
orphanage was gut wrenching.
They weren’t letting go.
I wasn’t letting go.
Tears poured down my face.
I didn’t want to go.
There was no “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Loving and leaving those children was one of the
hardest things…
for my heart to comprehend.
Love them for a time and then leave them.
Pray for them.
Love them through prayer.
I felt like I JUST got started.
My heart has been changed in this process. True
growth.
My life has been changed.
Psalm 27: 10
Even if my father and mother
abandon me,
Psalm 116: 5-6
The LORD is gracious and
righteous;
Our God is full of compassion.
The LORD protects the simple-hearted;
when I was in great need, he
