As for God, His way is perfect...

I am full of mixed emotions tonight. Happy to have the privilege to share God's love with a needy child, sad that a child has had such horrible experiences in her life. Today, 14 yr old Lucia came for a time. In May she was kidnapped from her home in Mexico City and brought to Tijuana by her kidnapper. He was a man that she knew but he told her he would kill her sisters if she did not cooperate. She was treated horribly by this man. They lived with the man's mother until in Sept. one day the man was gone to work and the mother left and didn't lock the doors so Lucia escaped and ran to a nearby store to ask for help. They helped her call her mother and the police and she was taken to DIF. She's been waiting while DIF investigated her case and worked to see if she can return to her family. She has been cleared to return to her family but the family is poor and does not have the money for a ticket so she needs to wait until something can be done. It's been 6 mo. since she saw her family, although she does talk to them by phone. The family has had a difficult time as well with sick children. She has a 3 yr old sister who needs heart surgery and also a sister who needs eye surgery. And so we offer her love, security and a chance to hear about God. Pray for Lucia and her family that they could be reunited soon!
