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!
Great to hear from you Molly and Moses! Thank you for giving them an opportunity to share on your blog too! Thank you for giving ALL of yourself to those precious children at Mother Blessings! Looks like some of us are going to have to get on board and go with you sometime! Praying for you and all those lovely people! Take care of yourself and it was good to hear from you Moses. May God continue to bless your life....
