So far this blog has been about a desire to do something, and not a lot of doing it. That's been part of the journey. Yeah, it gets boring to read and boring to live it. Waiting. Yuck.
And then there was light! Like in the book of Genesis, suddenly things changed. I think I'll have to post the whole scripture here since it's so relevant. Here it is....
"3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day."
I saw the light and it was good.
I just started concentrating my time, with the help of a Life Coach (more on Life Coaching and Mentorship later), on research, new learning, new books. All my needs stuff was done. Office stuff ready. Camera ready. Did some surveillance, which gave me the creeps to do alone. Sponsored a team from Florida called Redeem The Shadows here in Houston. Went to a meeting at a local Christian School to talk about Human Trafficking and issue here in Houston. Got our video up Bad Day: Human Trafficking in Houston which you can see on Vimeo, became a board member for an Anti-Trafficking NGO in the US, volunteered to mentor an underage minor at risk of HT... the list goes on and on. THE LIGHT JUST TOOK OFF AND TURNED INTO A FIRE. It's been busy, busy, busy ever since.
Every little bit of work impacting this huge injustice of Trafficking, which I think of as a type of massive criminal cancer. Every crime imaginable, that can be done to a person, is done to people everyday during the crime of enslaving people. A real confluence of injustice.
So from February to July 2011, I've been doing a lot different anti-trafficking works...and have started to feel like a semi-automatic weapon. Sometimes firing one shot after another, and sometimes just 1 shot at a time.
There was light....and then the light turned into fire. Firing shots, and not just into the dark.
