Vasila's Heart

see Vasila's story on this webpage....


She came to America to have her heart operated on
She went back to her homeland of Afghanistan taking with her a piece of America.
Her big voice singing We Shall Over Come in a church meeting,
Her big smile as she walked into the ocean
Her gigantic desire to become a Dr. so she can help other children when she grows up.
All things found in a new world of Freedom.
Her father said she will go back, and not have to quit school as most young girls do at puberty, and she will not have to go back to cover her face with the burqa she will be FREE.

My prayer for Vasila is that God will grant her the love, joy, and wisdom to truly over come the life she has set before her in her native land. It was truly inspiring to see the love her father had for her in the documentary.
