No Longer Alone

I was told about a little girl...

Her mother was a prostitute. 

She was raped of her childhood.

She was forced to grow up faster than she possibly could.

Mom was not there to get her to school, so she went on her own. 

The Ukrainian winters were cold and the walk was so very long.

She tried...she tried...but she couldn't...

She couldn't hold her urine.

It ran down her legs and froze on her skin and pants. 

Finally, she would make it to her school.  

But instead of being relieved, she was embarrassed.

As she walked, the frozen urine made a clicking sound.

It was music to mean children's ears.

They pointed at her. 

They laughed at her.  

But no one bothered to ask about her.

Accept one...one woman...one angel....

She was different. 

She cared. 

She asked what no one else would.

"Why is this little girl so alone in this big world?"

Her mother was more than willing to give her away. 

She was looking for the opportunity.

"If you want her, you can have her," said the Mother.

"I want her. I will have her," said the angel of a woman.

The little girl felt something new. 

She was too young to put it into words.

All she knew...and all that matters now...is that she is no longer alone.

This story of one orphan represents the stories of over 100,000 orphans in Ukraine and over  a million world wide.  This Sunday, you get to see first hand how God's love never forgets the orphans of our world.  We get to celebrate that he is letting us work with him to let orphans know that they are no longer alone.  Don't miss it, this Sunday, 11 AM!
