Quotes from a student's writings

I wanted to take a moment to allow my readers to truly partake in a little taste of my world. Some times I question why am I here and not working directly every day with kids in need around the world? Yet, the heart, passions and writings of my students often times remind me there is purpose and fruit from my efforts here in training and discipling others with as much and even more passion than I for children in need around the world... for this reason, I want to use this blog entry to just share a few brief writing and thoughts as my students are sharing in their classes, etc.

Shatter…


God’s heart shatters.


Because…


Because Joe was supposed to live.
Because Nancy was His ballerina
Who’s feet never touched the ground.
Because Rosa’s smile was supposed
To fill rooms with light.
Because Greg was His soccer player
With a heart full of love.


But…


But instead God’s heart is in pieces
Because there never was a Joe…
Or a Nancy…
Or a Rosa…
Or a Greg…


Their breaths were never counted
Their smiles never enjoyed
Their eyes never opened
Their cries long forgotten.
They were never known.


But God knew them.
And now His heart is in pieces.





Tonight at prayer night, we prayed for abortion. It’s said that 24% or 1 out of every 4 children are never born because of abortion. Think about that.




Millions and millions of babies have been aborted. Those are millions upon millions of lives that God planned out, but ended before they even had a chance to begin. God is crying…His heart is broken because He knew each one of those children and had a specific plan for their life. He knew what they would love to do, He knew each moment of pain, love, joy and anguish that would happen in their life. And that life is no longer being lived out.
