It started off normally.. sitting doing stuff on the computer, hanging with the children, finishing up the work on the patio out back, lunch, errands around town, and then....
a girl came to the orphanage that had lived her in the past from age 11-16 (i think)... since leaving she has gotten married and had a child. she is now almost 19 and the child is a about a year and a half old. She weighs about 41 kilos.. so about 90 lbs soaking wet and has not had a period in 8 months due to most likely to malnutrition. she talked about not having food and no longer going to school very casually, even with a slight smile and laugh. She no longer lives in the area but was here to pick up papers proving she went to school until she was 16. she stopped by to say hi and to ask us to pray for her and to take her to the bus station...her husband is sending her there to work and send money back to him. we tried to convince her not to go, we tried to convince her even just to stay for a week.. but she would not have it.. so after finding anything in the house we could give her (my tooth paste, an extra toothbrush, baby powder, the last of my granola bars, some medicines, travel toilet paper, and a thai bible) we took her to the bus station... I met this girl today and still my heart pains for her, I have never had to do something so hard
please pray for this girl.. her name is Meow

"Where does my help come from, My help comes from the Lord." I could heard the pain in your heart over that young lady. You gave out of your heart and out of the love of the Father. God will be able to use that to start to break through the tough shell that she has put around herself to try to protect herself from hurt. It is hard to have the heart of the Father and see how so many in the world live so far from what Christ died for them to have. I will pray that the Holy Spirit will shower down on you and refresh you with a knowing that you did what the Father needed you to do for this young lady. Ultimately each person on the earth belongs to God. Whether they accept the gift of Salvation or not Christ still shed His blood for each one. When we intercede and pray for each other we are opening up the channel for God to begin working in that person's life. You be blessed, refreshed and covered in His love and protection. Smile because God has others on the other side of the world praying for you and the children each day. Love and miss you, Mrs. Dawn
