Home!
My time at Beautiful Gate is sadly nearing an end. The past couple weeks have been an eye opening experience and i loved every mintue of it. I feel like the proud mother sending my preschooler off to school, taking there first day of school picture. Getting kisses from them before they walk out the door and then the smile and wave as they walk out! Beautful Gate will now forever hold a spot in my heart and so will every child here! From just playing with the children to going to a funeral God has shown me soo much more to life. Every child here has a story and only god knows what is in store for them. Sometimes i wonder and ask god why. why did the children have to go through this they have done nothing wrong. But i have learned that god is in control and has everthing planned out and im putting all my trust in him!

ReplyDeleteI just have to say again how proud I am of you for taking a leap of faith and going by yourself to an unknown place with people you didn't know. After reading this post I can tell that this has been a life changing experience for you. I pray that when you return you can be strong and turn to God for the right decisions that need to be made in your life. As you stated, God has a plan and you need to put your trust in him for where he is leading you next. It sounds like it will be back to Lesotho at some time. I love you very much and can't wait to hear your stories next week.
Love, Mom
Jessica,
ReplyDeleteWow!! What an incredible post!! You have experienced more in a summer than most people do in a lifetime. I can't wait to see you and talk to you when you get back. I have the feeling you will have some things to teach me. Keep loving those kiddos and make the most of the rest of your time there. Love you!!
