Dance Upon Injustice!

I had an amazing weekend at Youth Councils this weekend. It was amazing. God's presence was clear and felt, and He spoke in a great way. Although cold, very cold, I learned so much, and I feel closer to Him, now more than ever. The entire retreat had to do with the theme of "Dance Upon Injustice." We learned about injustices that happen throughout the world and in our neighborhoods that God calls us to fight against. One of the things I'm most passionate about is fighting against sexual trafficking, a subject that no one likes to discuss or realize happens all around us. I feel a STRONG calling to work with sexually trafficked victims in the future. I don't know if I'll be working with that quite yet, but I really want to. It's all in God's hands, but I'm sure God has called me to do something about it, even if I am not directly involved myself. One of th best sermons, was the one given by Captain Suzanne Hickman. She spoke about how we look through the window and know that what we are seeing is wrong and we should do something about it and we don't, and how we should open the window, step through, and do something when we know that what we are seeing is wrong. I especially think that this applies so strongly to youth today. So many things we observe today, we know are wrong, but society and media has made us numb and accepting of the fact that it is wrong and sinful. So much of what we see in the media today influences us, and we have to be strong and faithful to the message we have been called to proclaim. We cannot let the enemy fool us into believing what society tells us. We have to be lights among the oppressive darkness that surrounds us. I feel extremely revived and pumped after this weekend. I needed this renewal for my spirit, and am excited to let the love of Jesus shine through me and dance upon the injustices I am witness to everyday. I pray that I can remain strong, faithful, holy, and pumped to do whatever He has in store for me.
