He stole my heart instantly.
He was the only one that could say my name, the only one that could hold a conversation with me, and the only one who greeted me with sweet kisses on the cheek.
Moegamat quickly became my favorite little buddy. I didn’t know why he was even at the LSEN School because he is so smart! Soon I found out that he was only at the school for disabled children because his family didn’t have the money to put him into mainstream school. This broke my heart and I immediately started prayerfully fighting for him.
Over the past few weeks the teachers and I have been working on getting Moegamat into a crèche. We finally got everything worked out and Moegamat has been eagerly looking forward to starting at his new school!
This morning, I got to meet Moegamat’s grandmother. We began talking and I expressed to her how much I love her precious grandson. She smiled and told me how excited she was for Moegamat to go to the new school but her smile quickly faded and fear and sadness flooded her face.
She said “I’m just going to tell you. I don’t know how to tell you but I am just going to tell you…Moegamat’s mommy has been on the streets for three years. We haven’t seen her or talked to her. We don’t even know if she is alive anymore. She has AIDS. I don’t know what to do. I try my hardest but I don’t have work. Moegamat is HIV positive. We don’t have the means to give him the nutrition he needs. I get by but I don’t know what to do..”
All I could do was hug her. I didn’t know what to say. I tried to stop the tears but they poured down my face anyway.
I began thinking about all the times that Moegamat had just wanted me to hold him. All the times that he had told me that he didn’t feel well. I didn’t know he really was sick.
My heart aches for this beautiful child. My heart aches for him like it has never before ached.
I know I serve an awesome God and I trust His plan.
I have hope for my little Moegamat.
I have faith that God will heal him and he will grow up with an awesome testimony that glorifies our magnificent King!
Please join me in lifting this little boy up to Jesus! Let’s proclaim healing in Jesus Name over Moegamat and his family. Ask God to open the doors that need to be opened!
Today, I was able to go, hand in hand, with Moegamat to ‘real’ school. He looked at me with those precious eyes and said " I am big Carly, I am big." God is faithful and answers prayers!!
Oh Carly! How can we help him??? What a blessing you have been to this precious child! How can we get him treated? Doctor’s Without Borders????
Carly,
What a beautiful story I see unfolding…I will/am praying for this sweet son of God. I ask that during your time together Moegamat will see and feel how real His love is through you. I’m so sorry to hear about his mom and him being HIV+, but God promises to never leave nor forsake us.
I wonder if he could become sponsored. Compassion International helps those living in poverty and highlights children with special needs and HIV/AIDS. I just don’t know how he’d get on the program.
Love and miss you!
My dear Carly, God has filled you with His Love! You have allowed Him to purify your heart and now His love flows freely through you to Moegamat! i know Moegamat is receiving all of Gods love and power including healing! i stand with you in claiming he is healed in Jesus name and Moegamat’s life will glorify the Lord! i love you, my precious daughter!
Tarls I’m crying! I’m praying for this sweet boy and you. You rock I love you!!
Carly, if Morgamat is not born again I hope you can bring him into a relationship with Jesus. That would be a beginning of power for him to be an overcomer. Perhaps he would then bring Jesus to his grandmother. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond anything we could ask or think. I will join with you to pray for his salvation that includes healing. May God be glorified.
Love you and can’t wait to see you when you get home.
