This week has been pretty rough. I had a complete break down Tuesday night. If I could explain it, I would. I guess it's just hard to hear all of the stories and know all of the kids, and not be able to do anything except love them. And I'm sure that sounds like it's enough... But it's not. When you are sitting there trying to explain to a child that was abused and betrayed by everyone who was supposed to take care of him that God loves him, you can't help but think you are doing absolutely nothing.
"Be strong. Banish fear and doubt. Remember the Lord is with you wherever you go." -Joshua 1:9
"When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher that I." -Psalm 61:2
"When I felt my feet slipping, You came with Your love and kept me steady." -Psalm 94:18
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." -2 Timothy 1:7
Remiding myself that God has me here for a reason... Even if that reason is to fix myself... I cannot beat myself up over problems that I cannot fix. God has a plan for every person on this planet. Every single one. So maybe I will never know the plan He has for each of these children. The important thing is that He knows... This past week we spent a lot of time at the boys orphanage, and my prayer for this weekend is that each of those boys grows into a strong, Godly man.
