Just do it!


I first heard Christine Caine speak at a Joyce Meyer Convention in St. Louis last year.

She is amazing.

She is encouraging, she is energetic, she is a mother, a wife, and the leader of an organization that is actively working towards abolishing modern day slavery.

Her organization is not just a Christian ministry, it is a legal force in Europe, active in convicting sex traffickers.

We are so comfy here in America.  We sleep in big comfy beds, eat big comfy meals, enjoy big comfy armchairs while we feast on a cornucopia of media delights.  We are blessed.

But there is a war going on, right under our noses, and all over the world.  It involves seduction, slavery, and sex, and it's not just women who are affected.  It's children, boys and girls, and the families left behind.  There are people on the front lines fighting in this world.  And Christine Caine is one of them.

Sometimes I feel impotent, here in the center of America, in the center of my house, like all I can do is hope good things for these victims and pray. 

But there is action available for me to take.

Today I wrote a letter.  It was simple and encouraging.  And then I lifted myself out of my big comfy desk chair and walked it to the mailbox.  I prayed that it would speak life to the receiver and be a blessing to them.
