Today at church... I had the privledge to watch a group of orphans from Uganda sing and proclaim God's truth. Seeing those kids (ages 7 - 12) on stage brought tears streaming down my face. They told their stories of how their parents died from AIDS and how they went to live on the streets because nobody wanted them and how this paticular organization came and gave them love, food, a bed and clothing and how most importantly they told through their actions about God - the father of the parentless.
Right now, I am amazed that God already had those kids on a plane and prepared the message that they were going to bring. I came away understanding that...
1) I am not forsaken and forgotten
2) I am deeply loved by God
3) God promises to be my father, protector and my provider
4) That He has given us the future when the past is to hard to bare.
5) When you change your attitude to others... your problems aren't as big of a giant as you origailly thought.
I left church today... with a new outlook and a desires to wrap each of those kids up in my arms.
