Rehoboth

Foo (2 years old) in Rehoboth, Jan. 2010

Ben and Foo are leaving to go to Rehoboth in a couple of days.
This would be Ben and Foo's Second Year going to a Missions Trip.
Rehoboth is in New Mexico. It is a little Indian Reservation very close to Arizona.

This yearly trip is truly a challenge on my Faith. I like being around my babies and knowing exactly what they are doing and who they are interacting with.
Most children in this reservation have been sexually abuse by close family members and even their own parents.
Myself, as a sexually abused child, i have a hard time knowing that my child is going to be around these type of problems. Of course, our guys go to spread the Word of God to the children and young people but that doesn't make it easier for me to let go of my kiddo.
i know Ben will take care of her, and that the crew will always keep an eye on her and of course she IS part of the crew so she is involved in many, if not ALL the events.
I love hearing that she is having a great time with other children, and that she encourages them (with her dance) to seek God in their lives.
For me, this is a time to meditate about my fears and issues with control as far as this goes. I knew that one day i will have to face them again and i am pretty sure God is ok with letting me go through this.
Please pray for our crew as they go to Rehoboth.
That they will help these children and teens to find a much needed Faith in God.
And that the crew will be filled with humbleness and once again, they will witness the love of God through these hurting children.
