I followed a link and found your blog tonight. I love when the Lord does that!
I had a very bad day today. I have never been so thrilled to put my 2 youngest children to bed tonight. They reeked havoc on my house today & I was so angry with them.
Just after checking on them to make sure they were sleeping, I came & sat down & this post was up on my screen. I read & cried, read & cried. I have heard of Garbage City by a friend whose husband was stationed in the area for a while(military) & she was able to work with the orphanages. But your words struck me so deeply tonight because my children are healthy, so healthy that they can dump my make up out & paint their wall with it. I have been so blessed with 10 children of my own in which God has provided a home, clothes, food & loving parents everyday. Thank you for finding the words to explain your very difficult day, they made me hug my kids a little extra hard tonight. Blessings!

AB,
I am a little late joining the party, but it is these emotions that make a great mom. Let us know if we can raise money to help or see about adoption.

I’m proud of you. You didn’t pass up a moment God thrust at you to show some love to those who really, really needed it. Well done.

Thank you for sharing this experience with us. I can barely type through the tears. It is so heartbreaking to think of children living in filth. Thank you for taking the time to hold and love on those children. Thank you for allowing God to work through you. I can only imagine the heartache of actually being there.

The only thing I can cling to in a situation like this is Psalm 139. God knows every single one of those babies by name. He knows everything about them. He knows what their needs are and how to meet them. He knew that they needed you there that day to love on them. I don’t understand it all, but I know that He does. There is nothing that is beyond His reach. There no one who is beyond His reach.

How I want to be there holding and loving on those babies with you.

Ever since I learned of the plight of orphaned babies in Romania… I yearn to do what you did today.
I secretly pray that the man I might marry one day will have a heart to spend a week of our honeymoon in Romania tending babies in an orphanage.

I remember garbage city… at first I wanted more than anything to just get out of there… and then when I saw the faces of the children I never wanted to leave them… I love you Amybeth. I am praying for you.
