"Myths REVEAL to us what we are capable of."

Who's Fighting For Them?



Who is fighting for them??? That is the question that I have been asking myself for the last 4 days since the conference. http://www.freedom-summit.org I attending this conference and was blown away. I haven't been able to sleep and the thought of fighting for these kids will not escape my mind.

I have 2 boys and it's easy to fight for them! They are mine! But these kids that are sold into prostitution and slavery, who is fighting for them? I think about the parents that SOLD them into this life and I am stumped. How bad is life that you have to sell one of your kids. I look at my life and say there are plenty of "things" in my house that I can sell before my kids. I have plenty of family that will give everything so they can survive. The church won't let this happen! To get down to selling your kids...life must suck!

I travel the chain of these kids getting raped and look to the homes/villages where they come from. Where is Jesus in this whole equation? I wonder what life would be like to have HOPE in Jesus. I know life would change for them!



Have HOPE in Jesus!

The verses that stick out in my mind from the conference are Psalm 27:1-3. These verses were a prayer of a 5 year old girl who was sold into prostitution! As she was getting raped she was reading this on her wall by her bed...

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When evil men advance against me
to devour my flesh,
when my enemies and my foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.

3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident.

Can you say WOW! They she was rescued and she is free! Someone said they would fight for her and now she is free.

I am still trying to figure out what Jesus wants me to do with all this info. I want to say "I AM" fighting for these kids! I think Jesus would fight for them...but in what way? Pray for these kids!

Can you HEAR God?



How do you hear from God? Can you even hear Him? That pic says so much for me trying to hear Him speak to me. I know that He is there but I have a weird face whenever He tells me something.

God spoke directly to Betsey and I about a big life change for our family in the same week. She had a dream and God was speaking to me through prayer. Two totally different times but the same word. I was confident in Him and His words. But still, we question is the word.

Yesterday, as we waited for a call, I sensed God was laughing at me cause I knew what He said to both of us. I got from Him, "I already told both of you knuckle heads the answer and you still doubt me?". The call came and I was surprised. WOW...my prayer is to hear God and trust with my heart that His words are FINAL!

Anyways...God is good and I need to clear out my ears!
