God Who Weeps: A Story of Grief and Redemption
It all started in 1980 when Sister Marilyn Lacey responded to a call for
volunteers at San Francisco airport to help refugee families from
Southeast Asia make their connecting flights. The experience laid a
galvanizing hand on her heart. Soon after, she flew to Thailand and
spent a year working in a refugee camp. Later she would go to South
Sudan and multiple other countries in Africa to witness firsthand what
refugees were experiencing. Lacey founded and runs Mercy Beyond Borders,
a non-profit headquartered in Silicon Valley that forges ways for women
and girls in extreme poverty to learn, connect and lead. Her gripping
memoir is titled, 'This Flowing Towards Me: A Story of God Arriving in
Strangers.' What follows is an excerpt that offers a glimpse into one
woman's journey into the depths of human suffering, her poignant
stand-off with God, and its powerful resolution.
