The Little Girl....

She had a bad dream....about this little girl..who was sent to US to live with her aunt's family when she was gr. 3. All the excitement and fun disappeared the next year. For a little girl like her, at first she was excited about playing with micky in CA Disneyland, walking on the sand beach in Hawaii, riding on the engine boat out in the sea, going to Washington DC Lincoln Memorial.....for awhile she was so happy that she believed she was actually in Heaven, because everything seemed so interesting and refreshing to her.

She remembered going to school smiling..thinking what a beautiful new day! Dunno when her world started to change. She became homesick for missing her parents. Wondering why others were so fortunate to have parents around by their side coming to school everyday to pick them up. Parents teacher nights.....other children are so happy that their parents showed up, which made her wondered where were hers.
During nap time while everyone headed down sleeping, she was busy wiping off her tears while pretending to be asleep just so others wouldn't find out. The more she tried to stop crying the worse it get. One day...she tried to call her parents, but heard someone screening the calls. As she waited.....her daddy arrived to visit, she was so happy, b/c they spent some precious quality time together. She still remembered the moment when the time was up for her dad to go to the airport the next day. Her dad would always say sweet girl...be good I will come see you next time soon and gave me a big hug. The next day she woke up, he was already gone.....she ran outside standing in the middle of the big yard starring at the sky crying.....

Nightmare begun, her cousins started being mean showing her attitudes and also by reluctant to teach her homework. She was so helpless alone worried about her unfinished homework, then her uncle taught her after found out what happened. She didn't remember how many nights she cried herself to sleep. She began to call her parents more frequently, but still being screened later being restricted. Verbally abused and was physically abused once for attempting to call. No matter what...she always remembered to pray....b/c only God knew her heart and what she was going through.

One day...another attempt to make the phone call, decided to leave US. Her parents came to pick her up so they left without looking back.

God has put the little girl on a big yard with sunshine and green grass...saying my sweet little girl, do not be afraid. I have come for you and brought you a new start, so that you cry no more!

Until today......she knows that God's still with her and cares about all her needs.

Just like these songs...

We live to glorify
Your name

Chorus:
Glorify, your name
Glorify, your name
Glorify, your name, above all names

Glorify, your name
Glorify, your name
Glorify, the name, above all names

Your presence, your glory, you're welcome in
All honour, dominion
Lord please come, near
We want you, we need you
We live to glorify
Your name

Chorus:
Glorify, your name
Glorify, your name
Glorify, the name, above all names
(Repeat 4 times)

We want you, we need you
We want you, we need you
We want you, we need you
We live to glorify
Your name

There's just something about that name

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus;
There's just something about that name!
Master, Saviour, Jesus,
Like the fragrance after the rain;

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Let all heaven and earth proclaim;
Kings and kingdoms will all pass away,
But there's something about that name!
