My thoughts are kinda scattered all over here it is:
God has broken my heart for what breaks His with the topic of human trafficking. It breaks my heart knowing that there's children as young as the age of 4 being victims of human trafficking. Hearing stories about this issue meanwhile just tear my heart out of my body. That's definitely how I feel every time I Hear a story or just realize that it is basically happening in my backyard. I believe that God has given me a passion to fight against this injustice.
Its a hard issue to talk about, but it's an issue that everyone should know about. It's not only in overseas places. It's right here in the states, in Elk Grove it's happening HERE! That literally disgusts me And absolutely breaks my heart. When I'm enjoying life and having a really good even though there are some bad days. But God is still good no matter what. Whenever I think I'm having a bad day, I'm just reminded that my life no where near bad, these 4 year old kids are victims of human trafficking. When I was 4 I was just being a kid, playing on the playground, coloring, playing with dolls, laughter and smiles all around. But these kids are going through something that no ONE should ever go through. It is really hard for me to put into words with my thought about this issue. Because I'm just so disgusted about this. Why would anyone do that to a precious innocent child? And it's not even just children. It's a big range of different ages. This issue is happening all over the world. It saddens me.
The first time I heard anything about this issue is when I was in Germany doing a DTS with YWAM. The base is passionate about fighting against that specific issue that is happening in the world. So I just began to have a huge passion to fight against it as well in whatever way that was. So I began to do some research on it and I came across this one story that was from Sacramento, California. The place that I have live since I was 3 years old. And when I was 19 living in Germany was the first time hearing about this? Yeah definitely feel like that is one of the reasons why god called me to that specific DTS. He wanted to break my heart for what break his. Ever since then I can't stop thinking about those victims. Even if I haven't met them, God has given me such a huge love for them. I just don't want to see/hear them go threw this tragic issue. Whether I know them or not. God knows them by name. They are his children. He has created them on purpose for a purpose. They were not made to be victims of this horrible issue in the world. They were made to have a beautiful life with, laughter, smiles, birthdays, family, friends a beautiful life. Somedays I cry over this issue and realizing that if one person puts their whole effort into fighting this horrible issue and rescuing these victims and giving them the life that they were meant to have and what they deserve. Then what can an entire community do? We could do huge things to fight against this is we put our minds to it. Even if we can't save their innocence, we can get them out of this horrible tragedy. Sometimes I get really frustrated I feel like I'm just one person and just a nobody and thinking that I can't so a lot. But then somedays I feel as that God has giving me a passion to fight and he is big and powerful. So through him all things are possible.
God has opened my eyes to extreme poverty and injustices feeling like I need to fight against human trafficking specifically. God will show me what exactly I need to do about this.
Whether its running a race "run for courage" which I did back in September and it was incredible. And I want to run however miles in whichever country I'm in during when it happens here in California. Or getting involved with courage to be you and building awareness in different ways possible. Human trafficking is a big issue throughout the world. Several children, women, men, and families are suffering daily, every second. For me I can't just sit back and do nothing with this devastating injustice through out the world. One of the things that I'd love to do in my life is to start up a safe Ouse for victims of human trafficking/orphanage with opportunities like schooling, photography studio, music, regular bible studies, worship, different arts, cafe for them to work at and get work experience. I know it's something that Gid has put on my heart. I don't know when that will happen. But it's something that I'm praying about and each step and leap of faith I walk by its a step closer of where God is calling me to do the rest if my life.
I want to show these kids love, they are wanted, they are beautiful and God lives them.
Im continuing to pray about it for direction.
I feel as if world race is preparation for this desire that I so passionately have in my heart to fight against. I feel as if we will be working with victims who have been trafficked. And minister to them. Which I'm fully for that. And something that I'm fully passionate about.
Parents: just think about this for a minute. There's children out there as young as 4 years old who are victims of human trafficking. What would you do if your child was a victim. Whether you know them or not. You can still fight for these children so they are able to have a beautiful life like your children. Whether you know them or not, God knows them. And we need to be the voice for the voiceless.
If your sister, brother, mother, dad, aunt, uncle, cousin, grandma, grandpa were victims. What would you do to fight for there freedom? Do the same for these families who are dealing with this issue everyday, every second of there life. Bring awareness about this to people you know.
