Something I wrote up real quick but it's on my heart and my mind constantly...
For
those of you who don't know about the amazing opportunity I was
fortunate to experience back in August here's a brief description
about it. I traveled to Germany for a Marriage of the arts 7 month
discipleship training school. For 2 and a half months I went to
Kenya, Africa for outreach where we put what we learned in Germany
into action. Two of the places that i've always wanted to go to I
went to in just a matter of 7 months doing missions. In the time I
was gone it was a time as a daughter of God to grow closer to Him on
a much higher level being being surrounded with 100+ students and
staff who are passionate about using art to glorify God and fight
against all injustices. Definitely being in Germany and Africa God
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 injustice in the world
Whether
it's running a race “Run for Courage”, 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, woman, men and families are suffering daily. For me I can't
just sit back and do nothing with this devastating injustice through
the entire world. “God has broken my heart for what breaks his”
One of the things that i'd love to do in my life is to start up a
safe house for victims of human-trafficking/orphanage with
opportunities like
schooling,
photography studio, music, regular bible studies, worship, different
arts, cafe for the children to experience all things. I know it's
something that God has put it on my heart to do this. I will have to
take the different steps and different opportunities that will lead
up to it.
Showing
these children the real meaning of love that God has shown me
everyday of my life.
The
first few steps to take;
- go to school to be a teacher
- get involved with Courage to be You with meetings and training starting in August.
I'm
continuing to pray about it. And if you'd like to join in prayer that
would be greatly appreciated.
Take
delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4
“God
created them on purpose for a purpose”
