Today I have no idea what reality is. How can reality include children being kicked out of the only home they’ve known for years? A reality where a “man of God” is doing the kicking out? House mom with 4 kids unsure of where she is going to stay tonight. Class 8 students who are beginning an all important year to take their final exam not sure of where they are being taken or if they’ll even continue their education. A sick child who may have TB being ripped from one home, brought to this orphanage and now being shuffled around again for the sake of money. A boy who was being scheduled for circumcision now unsure of what’s happening….all this in one orphanage.
I read and hear that it’s through the struggles our faith is strengthened and I really do pray that one day I can look back and say this is true in regards to this particular situation – both for me and the kids. There is no way possible (outside a divine understanding) for me to understand what these kids are feeling today as they wonder “where am I being sent?” “where will I sleep tonight?” And yet I know God is going to take care of them, I’m not sure how but I trust He does.
My heart also feels sorry for this “bishop” that if he doesn’t see the evil he is doing and repent his eternity will be spent away from God. My hope lies with Jesus Christ that He will wipe every tear from these kids’ eyes and show them, and everyone involved, His glory through this struggle.
Sorry for the choppy writing but my thoughts are in a jumble right now. God knows what is needed, please pray for these kids.
