We just spent our first night here at MBHOH!
It's an incredible facility. This area is vastly different from Beijing. This feels like China.
We're going to have some time today to spend with the kids. I'm really excited to see them and play with them. Yet at the same time, my heart breaks for them because it feels like we could never do enough for them. I mean, how can playing with them for a few hours for a week really make a change in their lives? At the end of the week we are all going to go home, but for these kids, this is their home, this is their life.
Our team leader, Chris said at the beginning of the week that this trip is not about us. But it's also not simply all about these children. It's all about Jesus. That's the mindset I have to maintain this week, because if I don't, I fear I will break down into tears. It's so easy to think about the what if and only if and how could this work out questions. But I can't remain focused on that. God is bigger than any questions I might have, I just need to trust that He knows the why's.
