From a staff member at our childrens home: Whirlwind of emotions today. One childs grief is so strong he is now in the hospital. A 12 yr old fell into my arms crying on her birthday b/c her mom ignored her during her visit. She made her own birthday cake to take to her visit b/c she knew her mom would not bring her one. The other girls surprised her with a party when she got back to the cottage. Another child saw the man who molested her. Now she is screaming in her sleep again. Another 6 yr old girl ran to me crying b/c she found out yesterday she is not going home. She had several nightmares and was crying out in her sleep. She let me hold her for a little while and then wanted her Ms. Jessie to pray with her as she went back to bed. Its been a difficult day for so many today. Even a sweet caseworker broke down in tears b/c sometimes it is too much to handle. I feel like I have been running from crisis to crisis putting bandaids on brokenness. My arms are not big enough to hold all of my babies. But dear Father, that does not matter b/c yours are big enough to hold the whole world. Please hold my babies tight. Calm their nightmares and give them peace. Help them to dream great dreams and think great thoughts because you are a Great God! Help my coworkers and my DSS family as we are trying our best to fight the good fight. Sweet Abba, we are so tired and completely helpless without you! Thank you for the Angel Army surrounding Miracle Hill Childrens Home. You are our Shield. Our Protector. Our Strength.
