Having to say goodbye to my sweet babies was so hard. How my heart aches to just take all these babies home and raise them as my own!
I often question God on how long I must travel overseas and come back before He allows me to devote my life to serving overseas. I have know for a long time that I was not called to the United States so leaving the States only fuels that fire. But as I was questioning God this week on how long I must wait He reminded me yet again that He is faithful and He is worthy of my trust. He is worthy of my praise. He is my Rock, my Shelter. He is the healer of the broken-hearted. He is the healer of broken bodies. He is my comforter. He is trustworthy. And I WILL trust Him. He has a plan for my life. And He has a plan for these kids lives.
Most of these kids have been through more heartache in their lives that I will go through my entire life. But even though my story is so different than these kids, our God is the same. And just like He is all of those things to me, He is all of those things to those precious babies as well and He WILL take care of them.
Another passage in Matthew that stands out to me when I think of these precious babies is Matthew 6:25-34.
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life ?
“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
So even though I only got to raise these kids for a week, I give them back to God. I entrust them in His hands and know that He is so faithful. He is so trustworthy. And I know He will take care of these kids and protect them and protect their hearts. So I have hope that even through the heartache that these kids will face and the long way that some of them have to go to be healthy babies again, my God will take care of them!
All for His glory,
