This week God has blessed me with the opportunity to really spend time here at the home. I have began to really appreciate all the work that is done here. Until this week I never knew how much the tutoras here really do. I have had the opportunity to really work with them and even be a "tutora" for the day. Let me tell ya I crashed at 9 o'clock that night. It was exhausting. With this opportunity I have gotten to know each child individually. They are precious jewels and each one with their own story.
The children here are left abandoned. They have either been abused, neglected, raped, or dropped of on the street to care for them selves. A lot of the kids here at the home have grown up here. They know nothing else. It breaks my heart to think that these kids may never know the love a parent. They know that the workers here care for them deeply,l they know that each group and intern that comes in and leaves will forever love them and pray for them, but unlike my self they may never have a love a parent.
While laying with a child this past week putting her to bed, she began crying. She was scared so i layed beside her and rubbed her back as she fell asleep. She is 2 and has been here at the home since she was four months old. My thought began to run wild. Has this little girl ever had this before, she is frightened and alone with no one but an intern to tell her that she will be okay and that God loves her. I started to cry. My heart aches for them. There are millions of children out in the world abandoned and alone. Some of them may never even know the love that Christ has for them. My heart longs to love those children and to help them. That is my passion and God has shown me that over this trip. To love children and help them. To help abandoned, neglected, abused, and children who have been violated. God blessed me with a heart to love these children. My prayer is that I will follow His plan and not go astray. That He may show me the path He wants me to travel.
