A glimmer of hope danced before my eyes as I heard about this an who had a heart to be a big part of these street kids life. A former street kid himself, he had made a home for them, made sure they were fed and that they went to school. he loved on them, and was shaping them into godley men. my heart rejoced as I knew that when I left here, they were going to be taken care of.
Today ,i found out that that glimmer of hope is not happening anymore. Eric, the man, is moving and not taking any of these kids with him. My heart aches as I hear the news, and I relieze somehing about myself: I am much mroe willing to trust God if i know that things are geting taken care of. I am not so good at jsut trusting him to do it on his own. i knwo this sounbds ridiculous, but it’s the way my mind raced today.
I am learning to trust that God, the ultimate father, is more than enough to take care of these kids I love, and that he really doesn’t need any help doing it! Isn’t it such a relief knowing that I can walk into the township knowing that I can’t mess up becasue he doesn’t even really need me? He simply wants to let me be involved in his plan. awesome!!
Pray that another Eric comes into the lives of these kids, and that they can be involved in what God is doing in J-Bay.
