to the hospital. . .

this morning i did something that is extremely hard for me to do and yet the only option that i have.  i sent two children who had been staying with us to the hospital.  one is loudnika.  a little two year old who weighs about 10 pounds.  i will write her story here later, but basically she is horribly malnourished and i think could possibly have tuberculosis.  the other little one was also horribly malnourished, but not in as acute of a condition.

the local hospital has a treatment center for malnourished children and for those with tuberculosis.  although i know they will receive great treatment at the house of hope where i wanted them to go, it was still hard to watch these little ones leave the gates in a tap-tap.  

i think i have to realize over and over again how little control i have over situations and people.  i can really truly only do what i can with the resources i have available and then trust that God will take that and do His will.  i had to trust Him as i watch these little ones leave the gates to go to a place where they can hopefully be provided with better care and have a pediatrician available.
