Hello to my friends & family in our Lord!!!
Our team of 6 had an eventful week at All Saints Camp. What an awesome God
we serve!!!
We had people cooking, serving, writing and reading pen pal letters,
feeding, bathing, singing, and many other wonderful gifts being put to use last
week. We praise God for the help that He is sending.
I would like to share a story of a little 4 year old girl. She has been my
God sighting for several months now. I call her my little girl. We have
become very close since things have happened.
Can you remember when you were a little child? Think back. Maybe you can
remember fond memories of your parents taking you to a carnival, or your
mom's awesome home made soup, being tucked in at night in a warm bed, mom &
dad hugging you and telling you that they love you, cuddling up together
under the warm blankets, and the list goes on.
Well.....my little girl doesn't have that big of a list. She was born into
an environment where most of the people around her were sick, both parents
are HIV positive, she is sometimes abused both mentally & physically, and
within the last year, she has been abandoned by both of her parents.
She walks around her environment grasping on to people for love. She calls
me mommy often. I guess she is trying to fill the void of not having one.
On my last trip to visit, I invited her over for dinner and a bath. During
the evening sometime I asked her of she remembered her mommy and daddy.
She looked at me and began to cry. I held her in my arms and cried with her. I
told her that God can help her if she prays and asks for His help. Well,
just when I thought that it was a hopeless moment, God showed up. My little
girl stood up and prayed as loud and as hard as anything I had ever heard.
The Holy Spirit came to her, and she was praying for healing for her
parents, and for herself.
When she was finished calling out to God, she jumped for joy around the
house and said...God gonna do a miracle in my life.
That moment, God brought joy to my little girl, and I reminded her that no
matter what goes on in her life, that God will never leave her nor forsake
her, and that is a promise.
She said to me......do you pinky promise? And I said, yeah, pinky promise.
So we locked pinkies and laughed.
Great joy was brought to her since that night. I know that she still has
very difficult days, but because of God's promise, my little girl knows that
she can get through it.
We praise Him for his goodness, mercy, and grace.
I would ask that you all please pray for her as she has a long road ahead.
With our prayers, God will listen and continue to provide her with hopes
and big dreams.
In service for our Lord and soon to return King Jesus,
