Apparently, I have had my head in the sand or maybe I'm just too sheltered. One way or another, I am in shock. To say that I had no idea is an understatement. I am honestly still having a hard time wrapping my mind around all that I have read here. (Take a minute and read it for yourself.)
I knew that sex trade was an issue. In far away places. Not here. Not where I live. The things that are done to these girls is sickening, but the idea that our own country is taking part inexcusable. A country that represents freedom to so many is offering slavery to thousands.
In the wake of this disgusting news, my emotions want to curl up in a ball and cry for these precious girls, but that will do nothing to save them. So I will pray. With everything in me I will cry out to their Creator and plead for Him to do miraculous things on Sunday and everyday after. And while I pray I will participate in Project Love Day. Because, for now, that is all I can do. I hope that you will join me.
