Almost broke down in the car tonight on my drive home from seeing my family as I pondered what life would be like as an orphan. Little or no family, no place to call your own, facing the uncertainty of what the future might hold. My mind cannot wrap around such a concept. I have a family, a place of my own, as well as a sense of security. While I sit here on a nice soft couch in my air conditioned apartment typing on my own laptop, it burdens my heart to know somewhere in this world a child sits hidden in the shadows afraid and alone with no one to protect, feed, and guide him or her.
As I look forward to my internship this summer, I desire to no longer turn my back on the realities of the world around me. I am determined to make a difference, and I plan to use every opportunity Christ gives me through this organization to help provide support and hope to orphaned children all over the world. I pray God breaks my heart each day and moves me more and more to work hard to serve through my role as an intern.
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27
Love you Mom, Dad, and Rach!!!
