Her cry woke me up
There’s
nothing worse than being startled awake. When you sit straight up with your
heart racing a million miles a second.
That’s
how I woke up this morning.
I ‘heard’ her cry ‘HELP’.
Even
as I write this it makes my heart beat a little faster.
The
child was not here. She doesn’t live in my apartment complex, my state or even
my country. I heard a Thai child’s cry of desperation this morning.
Not
playful cries of help when you are being tickled and can’t hold back the tears
you are laughing so hard. But a cry for help because the eyes of the people
around you look past your pain… there is nowhere else to turn.
I
don’t know why I heard her cry for help. I don’t know what this little girl
looks like or where she is. I don’t know the things that are making her hold in
the tears of pain. I can’t hold her in my arms and tell her it’s going to be
ok.
Every
doubt that I had that Thailand was the place I am to go to next are gone. This
morning I heard a cry, and my heart broke.
WOW!!
Powerful!
glad things were made clearer for you…
what a sweet reunion it will be when you do get to hold her in your arms!!!!!
Wow….. so good to have confirmation of the next step. I know that your heart is broken, but I am so happy for you. just wow.
God has spoken to your heart. Promising that he will guide you, encourage you and promising that He will be with you. He speaks truth ..
Matthew 25:35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’
37 “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? 39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’
40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’
Aloha young lady,
Go for it! We hope to see you this Thursday evening at your Mom & Danny’s while you briefly visit from Adventures In Missions Georgia headquarters. Perhaps your next major directions will be receiving God’s timing & contact details. We could discuss contacts, if you don’t have that leading already.
In Jesus,
Bill & Carol/NCC Missions Team & ACTION
