When people find out what kind of work we have been doing in Traffic Light, what I want to do this summer in India, and potentially what I could devote my whole life to-stopping the horrors of sex-trafficking and bringing hope to those who have suffered through it-they typically want to know what made me so interested in this in the first place. Why is this subject so important to me?
It's a good question that I don't even know how to answer directly or quickly. How DID I go from selfishly ignoring injustice to crying like a baby in church at Christmas time because of the words "Surely He taught us to love one another... Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother, and in His Name, all oppression shall cease"? I think this burden upon me or passion within me (or whatever you want to call it) had several beginnings. It was one of those things that kept coming up, again and again until I could no longer push it out of my mind. It wouldn't leave me. God wouldn't let it.
My goal in this blog is to take you to those places in my life where my perspective has been changed and I have grown the most. I want you to share in the process of how my understanding has morphed and my goals and dreams have shifted. I invite you to know me better through this and hopefully also better know the God who keeps blowing my mind with His compassion for this world.
