Warning: Personal details ahead.
I just finished reading Beyond the Soiled Curtain, and oh. my. word. It was amazing. To read about individuals whose lives were saved was amazing. It truly shows that Jesus can do such amazing things!
This book did a lot for me. It confirmed a piece of information that I've been looking for. A while ago, I blogged about looking into missions. I knew that I wanted to help people, but I wasn't exactly sure how or where. I still don't know that. But I do know I want to do something similar to what Project Rescue is doing. I may not work with sex trafficking, but I know that I want to do something liberating. I want to seriously change lives. Well, with the help of Jesus of course.
I want to do more research on sex trafficking and on organizations such as Project Rescue. What PR is doing is amazing and it really means something to me. (CAUTION - It's about to get real up in here.) I've been taken advantage of before. I had my virginity stolen from me my senior year of high school. I was at a party, and I had been drinking. But that doesn't matter. No means no, and it shouldn't have happened. I know the shame that comes with it. I'm just lucky enough to be who I am to make sure it never happens again. But there women and young girls out there who aren't as lucky as I am. If I have the resources to help those women and young girls, I want to do it.
No human should have to be subjected to exploitation. Ever. It's shameful and it's horrible. No human should ever have to experience it. I was lucky enough to only have to experience being violated once. I can't even imagine having to do it almost ten times every single night. It seriously breaks my heart. Like seriously, it literally makes my heart hurt.
I finally have another piece of the puzzle. It's another step forward, and I can't wait to see what else comes up. I want to explore this avenue, because I think something could come of it.
Thanks for sticking through the super personal part today.
