Today is day 5 and what a day it has been! If there has been anything that I am learning on this trip is that my God is more real than ever, and I am just clay in my Potter’s hands.
As I was serving on the medical team, I was observing two little girls who were receiving medical care from one of the nurses. While I was watching them, the Lord gave me a vision that I was going to pray for them and he was going show me their need. As I continued to watch them, the Lord gave me the ability to see the heart of these little girls and He showed me what they were going through. I saw the look on their faces and it reminded me of myself as a child. The Lord showed me that they had experienced childhood abuse just like I did. When the nurse finished taking care of them, she called me over to pray for them. So when I went up to them and asked them what they would like me to pray for they said they were anxious and afraid. Then I asked them “What are you afraid of?” and they just said they were afraid of being in places alone. So then I was able to share my testimony with them and how it’s important to tell someone if your being hurt or endanger in any way and not keep it a secret. Then I had the opportunity to pray over their lives. I know I can’t change their circumstance but I know God allowed these girls to cross my path so that their faces would be etched in my mind and I can continue praying for them hoping the Lord will change the end of their stories for His glory.
