Our first child, a boy, died a day after being born. I will say, as an aside, that I really identified with Mac in the scene where he returns to the shack, the place of Missy's death and loses it. His journey to forgiveness and moving through it all is worth the listen. Again, he was targeted for sexual abuse by the older boys.
After he grew some he was sent to boarding school. He also as used by the older boys in the tribe. He grew up around the tribe in a jungle setting and lived and learned the language and culture. His folks were missionaries in Papua New Guinea. He's a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. I also watch the TBN series called "Restoring The Shack" with William Paul Young, the author. All my sins and lustful desires can be traced back to that one unmet need: to be loved. But did God create me (or allow me to be created) for something greater? I desire love. I was conceived to meet the selfish desire of a sinful man.
Feeling like those siblings born to help a sickly older sibling to meet their health needs (through donation of organs, marrow, etc.) They were literally conceived to meet the needs of others. Am I selfish? Or am I truly created to be loved? Am I worthy of love? I know why my parents conceived me. But it has such a profound impact on me Oh, I thought I better write stuff down. After I first watched this movie, I felt compelled to journal.
