Because you are young...

This past week was spent with the children at Mother Blessing's orphanage home. I was really excited to be going back this year since last year we only spent a few minutes with them.When I arrived at the home they all sang songs for me and welcomed me with open arms. I was amazed at how many kids faces I remembered and how many of them remembered me! Every night at 7pm we had devotion and they asked me to speak Wednesday night. I chose: 

1 Timothy 4:12

"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity."

I explained to them how important it is to set a Godly example for the younger kids. I told them that this was the verse that got me back to Liberia. I was feeling really discouraged as people were telling me I was too young for such big plans, but as I kept reading this verse I knew God was on my side. He doesn't care how old you are, He only cares if you  are being obedient..and obedient I am. I made sure they understood that they can have big dreams too. I have be inspired by these kids (must which are younger than me) have such an amazing spirit and fire about them. I have been touched by their kindness, smiles, laughter and love. When I read the verse and then looked up at their faces, I knew I was telling them something they had already learned. These kids are role models, not just to younger children...but to me. Oh how I wish I could have been obedient to Christ at the age of 8 like so many of them. 

By the end of the week I managed to remember everyone's names and they call me "Sis Molly." I now an apart of an amazing family.

The kids' attitudes of obedience and servitude is outstanding and I am trying to be more and more like the role models they are everyday.
