A mother from the elementary school talked to mom today that they are moving away. It’s sad to hear that they are leaving. (I feel lonely. Interesting, I became so emotional nowadays, probably more than mom.) They’ve given us great deal of love, prayers, and support. There were a lot of tears and a big hug between two moms.

And we did not know each other before Lydia’s ordeal.

Through Lydia, amazingly, the Lord has connected many of us, His children on earth, near and far, together to share our faith and love for the Lord and for each other.

Through Lydia, many people’s life got changed. Although only ten years, her life has well lived. God is using her life in such a great way.

If God could use my life half as good as He uses Lydia’s life, I will be thrilled.

“You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.” Hebrews 10:36.

I just need to be patient.

A few weeks ago, I wanted to carry Lydia’s name and love with me always, not like T-shirt and bracelet which can be taken off. So, mom went ahead to make a lot of temporary tattoo. It brought me great comfort to wear that on my forearm.
