hopesustainsmeThere are things that happen that shape a person. Three weeks ago something terrible happened. A war broke out in a country that had almost nothing. One of the five missionary camps has been taken over by a war lord. There was so much violence at first. The priest who had been running the camp is dead and the people trapped here should be scared. They have been penned off and are being used to keep the armies away from the war lord while he makes plans.
But there is still hope. Hannah knows that someone will do something. After the first few days of violence things calmed down and so she sees hope that they will make it through this. She reads from her bible to people who need to hear the scripture for comfort. She prays for the people who are afraid giving them hope in her rather simple but very pure faith that they will survive this.
She tends to the sick who are still here and is gentle with them.
She prays that the soldiers keep their word that the children will not be harmed. She hopes that the war lord sees that his goals are not right and that power is not worth the cost of so many frightened people. She also hopes that her prayers are answered and someone stops this before more people die through violence.
It is late in the evening just before the sun goes down when she senses a change in the air.
