So today while I was at the center I saw one girl sitting all alone on the swings so I thought I would go talk to her. When I asked her how she was doing she told me. This young teenager has a one year old son and she really misses him. She's under 15 by the way.
As the time to go home was drawing near I sat down beside another young lady. This girl is one of those people who are beautiful inside and out. She told me how she is excited because she gets to go home soon. She told me a bit about her family and about how they are all Christians and how she learned some English at her church (note: we were talking in Khmai). Then she started going through some songs in English that she knows. One of them really struck me. She started to sing: "In His time, in His time. He makes all things beautiful in His time." Wow. I wanted to bawl like a baby. I can't imagine what this girl has experienced, but when she sang this song she sang it from her heart. What an amazing example of faith.

Bahhhhhhh Beca! haha. You make my eyes well up with tears at work! I'm so proud of you. You tell the stories of these girls so well. :) Favourite blog. still.
I just wanted to encourage you - I realized while I was reading this that God is getting some mad glory in your life. You're speaking with kids in Khmai! That's amazing! And if your heart is breaking, then you're growing in your love and compassion - you're becoming more like Christ! Yay!
Praise the Lord for loving these girls so much. He's got a great plan for them, and it involves you! That's pretty amazing.
