Caught in Traffic
(For the victims of Human Trafficking )

----------------

Does anyone hear them? Does anybody see them?
The broken hearts, the crushed spirits
They cry out in the day and weep at night
They are lonely, they are confused

All hope is gone, all joy is lost.
Only despair, only helplessness
They stop fighting, they stop dreaming
They feel rejected, they feel used

Does anyone understand? Does anyone know?
The hurt they feel, the pain they suffer
They pray and plead, to an unknown God, for a rescue
They are afraid, they are young

All future is forgotten, all childhood is taken
Will they ever be free, Will they ever be healed
They hunger and thirst for real love
They feel alone. They feel invisible.

Can’t we hear them? Can’t we see them?
Let our hearts break for them
Let us cry out to God and weep for them
For they are lonely, they are confused

Let us hope for them and pray for their joy to be restored
Let us not despair or feel helpless
Let us fight for them, let us dream for them
For they are rejected, they are used

Do we understand? Do we know?
Let us hurt for them, let us feel their pain
Let us pray and plead to the God we know for a rescue
For they are afraid, they are young

Let us remember them and pray for God to restore their childhood
Let us intercede for their freedom and battle for their healing
Let us cry to God to give them real love
For they are lonely, they are invisible

So what's the update on the Ikostarr?
Well...
1) Jesus is awesome
2) I'm leaving for the International House of Prayer in TWO DAYS!!!
3) I just went shopping today with a good friend. We had lots of deep and real talk and were able to go to Ross and get some good clothes at a low price. Yay! New jeans!
4) I desperately NEED to practice piano, which I've neglected for about a week.
5) Jesus is awesome
6) I got the honor of being able to speak at my youth group this last Wednesday (yesterday).
7) I got my hair cut today. I have bangs again! Yes! (I hadn't had it cut for over a year... so I was in need and my youth pastor is a hair stylist, so it all worked out.)
8) Jesus is awesome

So yeah. That's about it for tonight. It's late (or really... early) so toodles!

Bible Verse: "and He [Jesus] has made us kings, priests to His God and Father - to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen." --Revelation 1:6

Recent Random Remark: "Still... the mouse in the chair was just amazing!"

(Today when I went with my friend to Kaffe Bona, there were two chairs that we liked that we wanted to save while we were going up to get food, so we each took something less important out of our purses and put it in our chairs. I pulled out a notebook, and she pulled out a wireless computer mouse! I thought it was hilarious, seeing as she just nonchalantly pulled it out of her purse and her laptop isn't even with her. Good times... good times...)
