It has been a hard day, but a good day

A little girl died today. She was two years old. I didn't know her, but I have met her sister, Catalina. This girl was hit by a car in Antigua Guatemala near the market that her family works at. Catalina, this little girl's sister, was one of the first to discover the body, and directly after she realized that her sister was dead she ran to the school we are working at. Catalina did not run to her mom who was there at the scene, and she did not run to her grandmother who she technically lives with. Catalina ran to a school. This is the school that has loved and cared for Catalina more than her own family. This is a school that has never hung Catalina up by her feet and beaten her with a hose. God has put this school in Guatemala for children like Catalina. I am sad for the whole family but mostly I am sad for Catalina, whose entire world was her sister, and that world has ended very abruptly and much much too soon. Tonight I am praying that God will protect Catalina, and that he will continue to show her that he has a plan for her life. I don't think that her sister's death was a part of God's plan but I believe that He can make even this tragic event become something positive.
