So... I have to go buy a 2nd suitcase. I've already planned to shove Jake in the first one, and now I need room for Kenneth too.
Kenneth is five years old and the baby of the orphanage. By "baby", I mean the youngest, because he is one of the toughest kids here. He is a very independent child that does not give affection easily. Usually he entertains himself for hours chasing bugs or killing ants. Tonight I walked into the common room of the orphanage and he was sitting on the couch, alone in the room, crying. I sat down beside him and asked him if he was alright. He shook his head no and crawled in my lap, laying his head on my chest. In a matter of minutes he managed to cry himself to sleep. I couldn't help but imagine how BIG God's plans are for this little boy in my arms. I prayed over him as I rubbed his back. Eventually, I carried him upstairs and tucked him in.
While all of the orphans have needs, their greatest need is the need for love.
Lord, I stand amazed at the beauty of your creation. I know that you have plans for every single child in this orphanage. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of their lives for the summer. You are my Rock and I praise You always.
