Why?
That’s the main thought on my mind right now.
Why?
The question I keep asking myself.
Why are there orphans?
Why did God send this
group of ten to this orphanage?
Why did these kids get so attached to us?
Why did we get so attached to them?
Why do I wake up every morning healthy, in a soft comfy bed,
in my own room, full of useless junk.
Why do I have a closet full of clothes, half of which I don’t
even wear?
Why do I have a pantry full of food and still complain about
there being nothing to eat?
Why do I have a family?
Why did I grow up in church?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why do these kids wake up every day sick and hurting, on a
hard bed, in a room full of other kids?
Why do these kids wear the same clothes day after day?
Why do these kids have to eat mush for lunch?
Why are these kids orphans?
Why are these kids so desperate for attention?
Why am I sitting here asking myself questions?
But even though I don’t know the answers to these questions,
I’m not going to give up.
I can’t go home being depressed and without hope.
Hope is all I have.
Hope that I will see
this orphanage again.
Because I know I will.
And even though I don’t know the answers to these “Whys?”
I can trust God.
That he has a special plan for each one of these kids.
So maybe I should stop asking God ”why?” and start asking
him “how?”
How can I help these kids?
How can I help the nannies?
How can I be a better servant for you?
