Recently I started helping with an after-school tutoring program for Latino kids in the area on thursdays. I love it so much. This past week they asked me to work with a girl named Claudia. They said that she has quite the attitude(and its true) but because of that, I think they just don't expect her to listen ever or do work. But this week she was supposed to work on a project so we did it together and formed a small bond I think. Afterwards, they asked what I did to make her accomplish something. And honestly I didn't do anything really. Just told her what I expected kinda and helped her do that. But anyways then they told me her story and it absolutely broke my heart. Her family is from Guatemala and when she was a baby, they came to the United States. Unfortunately, because she was a baby, they left her under the care of someone else...alone.. So for 12 years she lived there, not really even knowing her family. Then 2 or so years ago she came to join her family. I'm sure this has so much to do with the way she is... And it just breaks my heart. I ask you to join with me in prayer for Claudia. Pray that God would capture her heart and show her that her true identity is in Christ.
Lord, continue to break my heart for the things that break yours...
