"Oh God, why was I born here?"

We were all sitting in my room talking about America and what it's like, where I live and about my family.

Then Robertson said, "Oh God, why was I born here?"

I looked at him with a blank expression. I had no idea what to say at that moment. I thought to myself..."God, why was he born here? Why not me? Why is the situation not reversed?" 

Robertson was living with his grandmother when Ma Zoe found him and brought him to Mother Blessings home. He went on to tell me that his grandmother is now dead and only has the names of his parents. He has no idea if his parents are alive or dead. He looked at me and said, "I have no real family."

I quickly disagreed and said that he has a big family in Christ. I told him that if he wasn't brought here he wouldn't have been blessed with 80 brothers and sisters. He wouldn't have been given a chance at life. He would be living on the streets like so many kids in Liberia.

I don't know the answer as to why Robertson was born in Liberia with nothing when I was born in America with everything. But one thing I do know for certain is that the bible always confirms any thoughts of the question why.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

God has a plan for Robertson just like He does all the other 80 children in Mount Barclay. I am so certain of this that I will not worry about Robertson's future because it is already in the hands of God. I told him to never lose hope.

This is why God has me here, to give these kids hope through the Word.

Beautiful 4

Massa:

When Sis Molly arrived on December 9, 2012 in Liberia on Mother Blessing's Campus, her home, we were very happy for her coming. We had some fun on Sunday. On Wednesday December 12, 2012 we had our ladies night. We really enjoyed that day because our guest speaker, Rebecca, came and taught us about being Beautiful and how to obey God and love our fellow friends.

After that the boys served us sandwiches and juice. After that Sis Molly handed out our shirts and flowers. After that we went outside to have fun and also she called us and present us with our first Christmas present which was a TV set. As we were watching TV Sis Molly fixed our nails that night. We really love Sis Molly.

On behalf of all the girls of Mother Blessing Children Home we want to appreciate Sis Molly and the girls are asking her to please continue with her job. Also we want to send our thanks and appreciation to Sis Molly's parents, that they should please continue to help Sis Molly so that she can help us.

Thank you to Melissa for starting Beautiful and allowing Sis Molly to have it in Liberia!

We the girls love you(Sis Molly) but God loves you the best. We pray for long life and prosperity to be with you because there is nobody that can take your place.

Welcome Home

The beautiful thing about going home after you've been gone for 6 months is, it feels like you never really left at all. It feels as if the last 6 months was another life and the next two weeks is apart of my life here in Liberia. Leaving one family to join another is just a little taste of what Heaven will be like one day. I arrived Sunday to a yard full of screaming kids and I enjoyed every second of being bombarded with hugs! Seeing all the kids happy faces reminded me of why I do what I do. I have been given the opportunity to love on everyone here and I won't take one minute for granted.

Sunday night we had devotion like always and Elijah, president of Mother Blessings, spoke on John 3:17. He hit it right on point and spoke to us about how Jesus didn't come to condemn us, He came to save us. There's not too much more you can say to add to that statement but I told them that Jesus came to love us and that when we choose to give our lives to Him we must turn away from our sins. Elijah said it over and over, Jesus didn't come to condemn us but to save us and to give us eternal life. It couldn't have been a better devotion to start off my two weeks here in Liberia.

The past few days have been amazing and the next 10 days will be great as well. But instead of me blogging most of the two weeks, I'll be allowing the kids to blog as well! 

Moses says:

We are very very happy to see Sis Molly coming back to West Africa Liberia especially at Mother Blessing Children Home at Mount Barclay. Even to sponsor this home. 

Few years ago when Christian Aid was sponsoring this home, they never came back and stopped the sponsorship. But the Lord Jesus was with us and sent someone to take their place. For this, may God bless Sis Molly and her friends and we asked that what so ever that she decides to do may God give her wisdom and long life. And even her friends and family members we asked what so ever that you give her may God bless you. Especially Sis Molly's father, mother, brother and sister and even the 15 year old little boy.

I extend my greeting to brother Matthew(name on my prayer pillow), what so ever materials that you send I received it. As you are praying, I am praying along with you day and night.

I am Moses Kollie or Mozicke. I am 18 years old and in the 8th grade.

You all back home are making more of a difference than you know!
