We have been walking the same walk as before for the last week hoping to see the sick baby girl who we had prayed for. Today I finally met her aunt who informed me she had died five days ago. I am not sure how to feel about the news as we had hoped God would do something miraculous on her behalf. It feels so strange as life just continues flying by and unless we actually intentionally place value on mourning the loss of a precious baby girl. If we don't stop she will soon be out of our thoughts. Life will continue as it was before. I am not sure how to join her relatives in sharing their pain and loss, God help us!

That's really sad about the little girl! I pray that God will continue to teach you how to feel what He feels and to grieve over the sad things that you see.
I think of you at Ten Thousand Villages whenever I'm selling stuff made by artisans in the Phillipines.

I am not really sure how to feel.... i have prayed my heart out for this little girl... feeling a certain connection to her... begging god to heal her.. and make her feel loved... and then... uhh i am soo frustrated... that little girl could have been anyone... and i know it has happened millions of times before... mothers losing their children all the time to things that could be fixed if they had proper medical... and never, never before have i thought about it... it makes me feel horrible... and i know that i will continue in my life and eventually forget about the little girl i named maggie... but i dont want to.. i dont want to loose this feeling.. the feeling that somehow... someday i want to go to these countrie, and cities that dont have medical or cant afford it and give them the chance they never had... :(
