I may be weak, but Your Spirit's strong in me.

Is it possible to get writers block when writing a blog?

Sorry guys, I'm totally slacking. I just haven't been feeling very "inspired" lately. Which, is pretty silly given that I am a journalism major. I should always want to write, right? Nonetheless... I'm writing now. :)

So, the title of this blog is from this song... Give Me Faith. It's incredible. Go listen to it. :)

The way the Lord has been moving in me is just incredible. Breaking my heart daily for the daughters and just allowing me to grow to desire Him more and more. I've gotten to the point where more days than not I sigh when picking my dress up from the back of my chair.

So, has it really become that? Just a chore? Something to check of a list?
No. I don't think so.
Sometimes I'm worried it has, but then I think about all the victims of human trafficking and I know my heart is breaking for them and if wearing this dress can help others learn about this huge issue and hopefully do something about it, then I'm going to do it.
And I'm going to do it joyfully.

I just talked to a girl the other day that honestly had no idea that human trafficking was so prevalent in the United States, let alone in Ohio.

I talked to another girl who had definitely noticed I've been wearing the same dress for a good three weeks, but didn't want to say anything. I was able to talk with her about human trafficking then and why I'm wearing the same blue dress.

But think about that for a minute... She noticed, but didn't want to say anything. How often do we do that? We notice something is a little off about someone, we think something may be going on, we think that they may actually need help. But, oh no... We cannot, under any circumstance, get involved in someone else's business. If they want help, they'll ask.

Right.

Just like we always reach out to others when we want someone to talk to. I'm not saying that we should intensely question everyone we meet about their life and their circumstances, but what if she is a daughter? What if she is a victim. What if he is a victim. Take time to notice others, human trafficking is happening all around you. 


Sorry, no pictures this post. Most of them from the past week are on my roommates camera. Some are on mine, but I felt the urge to write, so I didn't want to take time to upload them. Perhaps later tonight I will. I was reading some Scripture last night and it was so... awesome. I don't know really how else to describe it. The Lord is just SO good. 


Check out Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22. You can read Psalm 22 as though it is David who is speaking, or as if it is you who are speaking, or as if it is Christ who is speaking. In Matthew 27:46, Christ says, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" ("My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?") Which is how Psalm 22 begins. Let me know what you guys think!

I need You to soften my heart. I need You to pierce through the dark and clense every part of me. Because all I am, I surrender. -Give Me Faith, Elevation Worship
