Have you ever had the moment when God has said "How.Dare.You." I've never had that moment until today. Yes I've sinned and really sinned before. And I keep on sinning sometimes extremely stupid things and sometimes i don't even know i'm sinning. But today was like an ah-ha moment. A moment that hasn't stopped since i had that moment (a couple hours ago). I saw a video today about human trafficking and it lit a fuse...I say fuse because I already had a fire in me about this particular subject but now its just stirring in me. I want to do something. I can donate money and all that but i want to do more. I want to educate people, help women, rescue children, want to be at the right place at the right time. But I have realized the first thing I need to do is pray. I am so naive and ignorant to think that i want to do more than prayer...but what is more powerful than prayer? Nothing.
Well lets just say I am doing my research on this subject and I don't want to stop learning because I want to be educated on this. I want to be smart about this, I want to help. But I need to pray. I want to pray. I want you to pray.
Did you know that Chiapas, Mexico is one of the worst places for child prostitution...Mexico!! And the US is one of the leading places that take in human slaves! It breaks my heart in a million pieces that i cannot even explain. My eyes are burning, my heart is burning, my soul is burning and i just feel numb now. I don't even want to do anything right now...Just talking about it gets me crying, i can't even think about it without tearing up...i can't even write about it without tearing up. Just know it got me really good. And its really hard to not think about how little things...jokes, words, what ive seen, watched, done could have participated in this. It kills me. Emotionally kills me. Please, if your reading this...study this. Read on this. Do something about this. Pray with me. Pray with us. Let this affect you.
Mel,
ReplyDeleteYou are sooo right, how can we do anything with out prayer. There are days I am just like I want to do this and I would like to be involved and that and I want to help this person, but I can't do those things with our God and prayer. I must pray and make it a daily routine. Some times I just get soo drain to think about what I am going to pray and not even get on my knees for it. I catch my self praying like 5mins before work. thats wrong and I feel like im not being true to myself. This subject does affect me and it made me realize how much I need to make an effort to make a difference, but like you I need help too. I am with you on praying for this and building ourselves through prayer, because I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me. Our 10 finger prayer that will help us get started.Funny thing is I am listening to "Nothing is Impossible" I want to get up and jump and down! Love you!
