Beautiful::Africa

I am a person who loves musicals. One day out of the blue a song from the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat came to mind. The lyrics from the song, “One More Angel in Heaven” repeated in my head. After laying a 10 month old baby girl to rest today the song’s lyrics held deeper meaning. There is one more angel in heaven. There is one more star in the sky.

This precious life came to us from a closed down care center in Maseru. She came to us with terrible skin problems. Since her arrival we have prayed for her healing. She improved for a while and we rejoiced for the Lord’s healing on her life. Over a series of months her health swung up and down. She fought hard for a while but after a long battle for health she lost strength and ultimately the struggle for her life.

Why God? Why did you not heal this child? I often ask this question when I seek understanding. Knowing the Father’s heart, I was able to answer my own question. Her life was in His hands. His plans for her life were for good. I rest in assurance that she is now safe in the arms of Christ.

One more angel in heaven! We rejoice and thank God that we were a part of her short yet precious life.

Please continue to join us in prayer for:
1. The multiple adoptions in process. Please pray that the process’ will go smoothly.
2. Continued health for all the children at Beautiful Gate.
3. Our two special needs children. Please pray that they may find a perfect home.
4. Some of the staff that needed to be let go in order to implement our new care structure are sewing Beautiful Gate for unfair dismissal. Please pray for wisdom and God’s anointing for the staff that have to address the court.

Thank you to all who follow us through and support us in prayer.
God bless you all!
