I often get news on the kids in Romania, and recently got some news that needs prayer. Some of you may remember a teenager I wrote about often, that I worked with closely. I drew close to her and she shared many things with me. She is a girl who does not see her value and has very low self-esteem. She desires so deeply to be loved that she has often found herself in unhealthy relationships with men. She also struggles with healthy eating habits. My connection with her came to a surprise, she told me I was like a mother to her and often sought nurturing and motherly embraces. My heart has ached for her a long time and my teaching partner in Romania and I tried to help her to see the value in school and healthy choices for her life, but often saw her seeking comfort in unhealthy ways.
I just found out she is pregnant with twins. I am concerned about her health and about the young man who has fathered these babies. She is no longer at the orphanage and had apparently moved in with this young man. I have no idea the situation, but my heart aches for her. I pray she will be healthy enough to carry these babies to term. I pray for the relationship she is in, that it is safe and healthy. I also pray for these sweet babies, that they would be born healthy. I pray that these new babies will not end up in the orphanage system, but rather be cared for physically & financially with love by their young parents. Please pray for this young lady and her new relationship and the new lives she is carrying.
Thank you for your prayers and for continuing to check out my blogs.
