A Little Girl
Posted By: Vanessa Humphries on October 02, 2008 Lo, Children are an heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is His reward. (KJV Psalm 127:3)Is this considered an epidemic or an holocaust? Our children are dying, all over the world, needlessly and senselessly dying. It tears my heart apart, especially when I hear of children who died **** deaths. Intentionally or accidentally it doesn't matter, death is no respecter of persons or of a family's heart. Back in July of this year, one little girl touched the hearts of many Chicagoans. Her name was Mya Lyons. Nine years old, Mya's favorite color was pink. She also liked glitter. Nine year old Mya was spending summer with her daddy. Mya's only fear was of the alley next to her dad's house. It was lined with overgrown weeds and at night the alley looked scary to her nine year old eyes. One particular night, when she was suppose to be in bed, Mya went outside. No one is sure why she went out or how she was able to leave the house without anyone knowing or being aware that she was gone. Remembering how I was at nine years old, I can only imagine that she went outside to sit on the porch steps and wait for her dad to come home from work. When her dad came home, and realized that Mya wasn't in her bed or even in the house, he went searching outside. In a little while he found her. In the course of a day: I went grocery shopping and saw a baby in a shopping cart contently **** from her baby bottle while her mom picked over some fruit. In the course of a day: While getting mail out of the mailbox, I looked out of our window to see the neighborhood kids running and playing up and down the sidewalk. In the course of a day: In the cool of the evening, my husband and I went walking in the park. Kids passed us on their bikes and I watched them hearing the sounds of their laughter as they rode by. In the course of a day: On the morning of July 19, 2008, a family here in Chicago, buried their little girl. Brutally murdered; **** multiple times and left in a dark alley, next to her daddy's house, Mya's little body was tossed into some overgrown weeds and left to die. She was nine years old. Little Mya Lyons was buried in a pink dress and she wore a tiara in her hair. Her favorite color was pink and she also liked glitter.

Vanessa this is a very terrible world we are living in with some very terrible people. I pray that we all know where our children are at any given point and time, because their lives depend upon it.

It takes a special kind of heart to love children. There are others who have no heart, no caring and no love. They seek to destroy the innoncent. God knows all works of people who to these type of things. I believe he will recompense, especially when it comes to little children. Your blog was touching. Thank you for allowing it to be shared. We must pray continually for our children.

Daddy (Jesus) said to forgive them for they know not what they do. Yes, the person may have known very well what they were doing at the time, but it is important that we love others and hate the sin, not the sinner. I also have lost a child, not in such a horrifying way, but she died a week before Christmas 1992, and only 2 days before my neice's 3rd birthday. A complete stranger sent me a poem that has since been lost, but I will never forget the title, God's Lent Child. You see, everything here is only borrowed, nothing is forever but our Lord. Be encouraged that she is in a better place, where she doesn't feel pain, hurt, tears, darkness, or evil, ever. Be incouraged that you and all those who knew her, will one day, when their work here on earth is through, see her again, forever. Pray for the one(s) who did this to her, and give it to God, who can turn traggedy into triumph, pain into power, and evil into everlasting joy. I know it is a long, hard road to loose a child and find joy again, but I am living proof that all things are trully possible if you just believe. May I pray with you today? Daddy, Lord, I place all of your children, young and old, into your loving hands, and I give you all power, dominion, and authority to do what only you can do. You are our protection, our provision, our health, our breath, our all in all. We thank you and praise you for all that you are, and all that you do. We only ask for your peace, that surpasses all understanding. I cover these brothers and sisters of mine in your perfect, cleansing blood, and thank you for your righteous justice and plan. Thanki you for taking those who are no longer in this life, and caring for them as only you know how. Thank you for bringing the rest of us safely this far, and taking us safely on our way again. In the name of your precious son, Jesus, we ask and pray, amen. We rest in the knowledge that this did not come to stay, but came to pass, and that you haven't brought us this far to leave us. Thank you, and thank you, VH, for this blog. Mya Lyons is with the Lamb, be glad and rejoice, even if it hurts or is hard to do so. GB
