"Like Christ we also can live a new life."-Romans 6:4
I have decided to blog about my life in Dallas though I sometimes find these mundane, but many of you have been asking to know what I have been up to. Here goes...
On the surface I'm spending the next year with walking and talking and listening to women who are seeking to get out of the sex industry. As I told people what I would be doing this year there were many different reactions, some excited and some doubtful. It was the doubtful the spurred me on to know this is where I'm suppose to be. I live by the motto: "When people around you think you are crazy for doing what you do or going where you wanna go then you know it's ALL God." I don't waiver and here's why...
I'm barefoot God chaser...fully surrendering where and when He calls.
Below the surface I will be learning how to come to God's table and acknowledge all sorts of people who have been sitting there with me long before I could see them-needless to say the mud is washing my sight.
The butterfly is a HUGE symbol for me and my journey with God. It represents hope and transformation, "every color on a butterflies wing's is painted by God." -The Ultimate Gift
I remember when I saw the wings He's given me to fly but as I travel down the road I am beginning to see the brilliant colors He is painting in my life and with every one I a drawing nearer to God.
So my first day at New Friends New Life I walk in and the office is covered in butterflies!! I knew I was home. This is their symbol for the women we serve who are seeking to exit the sex industry and gain a second chance.
The brokenness is evident in the women eyes and the wear and tear of life is their weight on their shoulders, but as I have sat at the dinner table weekly I see a courage and strength that inspires me.
More to come from the streets of Dallas...
