Today 2 of our children went to the doctor for a check up due to some continued health problems, and neither was given a good report. One is 4 and the other is 3 (neither have been matched with a family as they are not up for adoption yet due to family reasons) and without the intervention of the Lord and a miracle surgery, one may not have long left on the earth. The other has been diagnosed with HIV and has been very ill for the past few weeks. It was not a good day here. It has not been a good few weeks here which is why I have not been posting as much lately. It is not major things going wrong (other than the above health issues), but it has been enough to leave me feeling worn out, defeated, empty and inadequate. But my feelings are nothing in the face of the pain and uncertainty these 2 children are facing for their future. They are young and both of them are incredibly sweet and good-natured kids with a lot of love to share, beautiful smiles, and cuddles that melt your heart. I love them dearly I have spent a lot of time with one because he was here when I came and the other arrived a few months ago, but I have also grown quite close to her. Their lives are only just beginning and yet...
Elections for Prime Minister are happening in 2 days. The tension level remains high with many people taking precautions. I was surprised to hear that the mall will be closed for election day. They take it very seriously around here in that they want every person to have a chance to vote (I just can't imagine the malls in America closing for elections). We have heard that it will take about 4 days to get the results of the voting, so we will just hang out here and spend lots of time with the BG kids.
God is bigger than health problems, He is bigger than elections, He is the great physician and God is our Leader so we have nothing to fear.
Please continue to pray for these 2 precious children, for their healing and for a miracle and please keep the elections in your prayers as well.
