Today I went to Mr. Hambley’s (one of my besties) classroom and had the opportunity to speak about The World Race and specifically about homelessness and human trafficking. God is shaping me to be a bold courageous woman to speak his truth and I loooove it!…because its public school… I couldn’t bring up faith or God…..I was scared and satan tempted me with many ways to try and get out of this. My prayer kept on being that God would be glorified in every way and to give me the courage and words to say.
I spoke to 3 periods of 7th graders… oooh to be in middle school!! I answered questions about where I was going to live, eat, sleep, use the bathroom (that was my fave) what i’m most excited about, parents, etc. It was just so amazing to be able to go into details about it and let someone see how passionate I am and what the race means to me. My heart breaks for victims of human trafficking and more so those that are forced into prostitution.
One guy asked, “Why would you ever want to do something like this? Why would you want to go out and risk your safety? You don’t know them. You don’t know their pain.” Without thinking I said, “Because my problems are nothing in comparison to what theirs are and they have a right to a better life and if one woman was freed from this–EVEN IF IT CAUSED MY LIFE, IT WOULD BE WORTH IT. JUST ONE.”
I didn’t realize I would die for this cause and for unknown people until saying it aloud…. but I absolutely would. I can’t feel their pain but it moves me enough to fight for them.
The guy didn’t quite get the concept and Hambles asked,“——What is the most honorable way to die?”
“As a soldier fighting”
“——-Why would you do that?”
“For america- for my country.”
…and it just clicked with him… and the rest of them…. and it was just sooooo beautiful to witness their (and maybe for their first time) compassion for humanity and to witness their hearts breaking for those victims. It was so exciting and humbling to see these 7th graders be angry about the injustice of these unknown women and men and want to do something about it! Their passion inflamed my fire even more! I can’t believe I was blessed enough to share the Race with them. It’s a blessing that they want to journey with me through my blogs and videos now. One said, “Wow, miss, it’s like you’ll be fighting a war out there.”
Plainly said, YES.
Yes, I will fight for this. Yes, I will fight for my broken brothers and sisters who I don’t know but LOVE. God blessed me with a heart of compassion. So yes we will be in battle! but GOD ALWAYS WINS!!! We will free the captives! We will restore self worth! We will speak and bring hope into those we encounter and not only in prostitution but with everyone! We will shout the good news! We will ooze the beauty of God! The scent of Christ will be permeated through us and will overcome fear. Satan shakes at the thought of us equipped with OUR ARMOR OF GOD fighting for our SAVIOR and for his children!
I believe we are the generation that will awaken and stir the faith of many. We will be the ones to bring truth and glory to his kingdom on earth but that doesnt have to stop with us. Lets stir up the the faith and beliefs of our younger brothers and sisters as well. Burn baby burn….. set that fire ablaze!!!!!
“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is FREEDOM! And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” -2 Cor 3: 17-18
