At this tribe God blessed my life more than I could have every imagined… He allowed to me love on some babies and teach at a preschool. But you see this preschool was not a preschool that you would want to drop your child off at for the day…. You see these kids walked miles and miles just to get to school and on empty tummies…. They would show up and get to write on concrete walls and they had to share the same 3 pencils that were shorter than a crayon… They had no colors, no posters, no paper, just the volunteer teacher… My babies, all 40 of them didn't ever have food. On a good day they might get a little corn on the cob …
My teammate Ashlee and I knew that God had us here for a reason. That he had prepared our footsteps a while ago! We didn't do much really, it was all God. For he allowed us to be lights in his name. He allowed us to love on his babies for a while…. He allowed us time to get them posters, paper, and pencils. God allowed us to bring light to these kids. To show them that there is SO much more out there. That God has a plan for their lives… That they are SO beyond loved…
For the first time they got to experience learning. They got to see what colors are, and shapes, and the ABC's… Just the basics to us. Just everyday life to us. But to them, it was everything. To me these past 2 weeks were everything. God opened my heart and my mind and popped my bubble. These kids need life, they need a chance. Ands that what God let us plant. He let us plant a few seeds of love and hope.
One day I will be back to see my babies. I will be back to see God's seeds have grown into a tree. A beautiful tree that is so deeply rooted in him. I believe that. I believe that these 2 weeks were not in vain. That God has my babies by the hand and he will NEVER let them go. All 40 of them, my precious little ones. He has big plans for that preschool and my short term appearance was just a little rain for my little trees. God is SO good. He has my babies forever.
