After every church screening we have a time of ministry & so far every night there has been numerous stories of sexual abused as a child, rape, pornography, masturbation & prostitution. Every single one of these women are carrying years of guilt, shame, brokenness & hopelessness. And EVERY night my heart breaks, I am not numb. In fact every night I am flabbergasted. After years of interviews, research, questions & prayer I am still in shock when I hear someones story, I do not know if shock is the right word but I am broken, sad, mad, a stream of emotions flood my heart & to be completely honest I am a bit confused because I truly do not understand how humans can be so evil & treat another with such disrespect.
I am honored that these women confide in me & let me pray for healing.
& I believe we are on this tour not only to bring about change & to see human trafficking come to a end but to see people healed from their past & walking in FREEDOM. When I pray for these women I am utterly convinced that the Lord is healing emotional damage that has been there for years & pouring out Joy… & they will never be the same again.
I was thinking tonight how I go through such extreme emotions. I am so broken by the abuse that happens & yet I experience crazy JOY all in one day. I love this amazing community of people I am with & the joy of the Lord we share… it is simply beautiful.
I guess it does make sense.
His yoke is easy & his burden is light.
He has called me to bring freedom & His joy is my strength.
