I’m going to human trafficking information conference tomorrow!  I’m super-jazzed about it!!!!!!   Ahh!!!

Ok…but seriously…how amazing is God?  Silly question, but my reasoning:

I just finished reading “Not For Sale.” – a book that details the global slave trade.  It has touched my heartstrings and inspired me to get involved in the fight against human trafficking.  But not only that, throughout my life, I’ve always been one to jump up for the underdog…the one being treated poorly by someone else.  I was the kid who beat up the bullies at the bus stop for beating the younger kids. 

God eventually wooed my heart towards the mission field.  I have becoming increasingly interested in China, but have a desire to work in any part of Asia at this point.  Starting in my junior year of high school, I began meeting people who felt they could confide in me about sexual abuse they had experienced at young ages.  My heart broke and I questioned God’s reasoning for bringing this pain into my life…but now I believe I’m witnessing the reasoning.  I have a passion for languages, and in the vocation of teaching English as a Second Language for free, I will be able to gain a foothold into the international community, here in my own hometown.  With that, I can have a hands-on experience in fighting for those held in bondage.  And not just bondage brought on by other human beings, but the bondage of a sinner, lost from the arms of Christ.
