After touring the little town of Kijabe we were taken to the hospital to look around. Jessica (a girl who came to Kenya last year with AIM & now is back serving in the hospital) showed us a girl that God has just put on her heart, to love & to bless. This little, precious girl’s name is Judy, she is 10. Her family abandoned her after years of isolations & she had lesions on her face. After they were removed she ended up losing her sight. AT THE AGE OF TEN.
We were actually looking at her through a window. There was someone in the room with her telling her that we were standing there waving at her. She immidetly got up & started laughing & smiling. She couldn’t see us, but she knew we were there. Nothing was stopping her from the joy that she had… even having no sight.
God really just spoke to me. He told me that we all go through struggles & trials, but that should never change who He is in our life. We should continue to have a smile on our face & show others the joy of Christ. Also, sometimes we may not be able to see God, but He is ALWAYS there waving at us & just loving us.
Now I know what Judy has & is going through is something I could never even imagine. But her joy really encouraged me.
Pray for this sweet girl.
“For the joy of the Lord is your strength.” – Nehemiah 8:10
