Oh, I have such a burden on my heart. I've been meaning to read this for an entire year. I knew what it was about. I knew it would disturb me. Perhaps I was afraid. Ignorance is bliss. That old cliche. Last week I guess it was just time for me to read it. I couldn't put it down for anything. Every spare moment I had I was consumed by this story. What an incredible story. What a heart breaking story. I was completely numb at first. And now I'm just broken over it. I'm broken for my daughters. For all of the children that are abandoned. Especially the special needs children that suffer at another level because they are shunned as if they are some how responsible for their deformities. The horror of what they go through. How absolutely alone and afraid they must feel. And then I go from being broken to being so angry. How can a society place such little value on their children!!! How is this so?? And how do you teach someone humanity? Isn't that something you are just born with? I guess not. And as I'm writing this I realize that I'm not doing enough. What else can I do to help? Lord, show me and I will do it. I will do it. I cannot just let this be. I have such a burden on my heart.
