I am here in El Paso with my son Christopher and husband Jason. I really miss this place but since our departing a lot has changed. The saddest change is how unreachable Mexico seems to be. We were hoping and praying to be able to go ino Mexico but everyone begged us not to for, most importantly, Christopher's sake. But my heart is short of breaking for the kids over there. It hit me really hard yesterday when I was humbly reminded that I came from the town. I was in a foster home/orphanage in Cuidad Juarez 25 years ago. Without sharing too many difficult details, Jason and I sadly found out that the orphanage that we used to go to every weekend last year suddenly was shut down and the children were placed elsewhere. I want to cry....I do cry.....because I don't know if they are being cared for and loved as much as they were. The people that were there really truly loved them. Now, I just wonder...are they scared, afraid.... Jason and I never felt able or ready to adopt any of them, but we knew that many of them were going to get adopted to wonderful families in the US or mexico....Where those adoptions completed before they shut down the orphanage? I pray so.....Lord God please put your hand of protection on their lives, each one that you love and adore. I know Lord that no matter what happens in life, when you are stripped of everything...truly He still stands beside you!!!
I pray and hope for the day I will see each one of those angels in Heaven and maybe sooner.
We have been blessed to be able to go to spring convention at Abundant Living Faith Center this week. Wow! It is so beautiful and literally heavenly worshipping with 6000 other people who love the Lord. Also nightly the pastors have an altar call......the best thing in the world to experience and be apart of is when a child of God experiences and embraces HIS love for the first time and accepts them as SAVIOR.
My prayer when returning home from this wonderful trip is that I will be more aware of God's voice. That my heart will beat with HIS heart and I will follow His leading more each day. I really want others to see Jesus in me and nothing else. I want people to experience HIS love through me....help me lord to do this more.
I thank God for bringing my family together for this time in the LORD.....AMEN
