this blog is an overflow of my soon full book of scribbled thoughts, torn out snippets from various articles, musings, prayers, and attempts at sketches.  A vain attempt to capture the desperation, the beauty, and the untold reality of the people i meet along the way.  Also an effort to capture and translate Gods  heart through my interpretations of his thoughts .

After being in SE Asia for a few months and Cambodia for only a week i am inspired, stirred, convicted and compelled to voice some of the injustices I have caught glimpses of…even from a distance. I speak with urgency on behalf of those who are not being heard…I have never been so sure that God is raising up an army for such a time as this. The issue of Human Sex Trafficking and HIV/AIDS …the persons effected by these…are particularly on  my heart. I have been silent far too long and can no longer plead ignorance to justify my tolerance…my unresponsiveness and apathy. I still am not entirely sure why I am here…but i know that  I have positioned myself and this is somewhere I can start at least by being a voice. Not for the sake of rambling on, self promotion, debating controversy, or a good cause….but for the sake of the Truth.  For the cause of the woman coming out of prostitution with AIDS facing stigma, rejection, and fear. For the baby that she is carrying…and considering aborting. And, ultimately, for the One who called me on their behalf, the One who IS love, the One who gave everything…..

ultimately i speak, i stand, i fight, i live…for Him. Ah and it is my joy! My heart is that His Kingdom (”righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne”) would come on earth as it is in heaven.

Without Him, everything is meaningless…another good humanitarian cause…that never truly satisfies the hungry.
