Servant Leadership

I'm taking this leadership class and I've been working on the midterm for it. For some reason, the fact that it's my midterm kind of freaks me out. I literally have 100% in the class right now, but the mere fact that it is a midterm just rattles me a bit. Anyways, I've been working on it and it's been okay. But while I sit there writing it out, I can't help thinking about all of the people in the world that are hurting.

If you've read my recent posts about the justice conference you'll understand my feelings on this particular subject. Sometimes, I wonder why I'm doing this...going to school, working at church, and all of the other things I fill my time with. I know that this is where God has me and all that. But it doesn't feel like enough. There are kids in other countries being sold, there are young girls in AMERICA being sold for sex. There are people who have been tricked into slavery and cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. There are women crying themselves to sleep after they've been beaten. There are young and old who don't get to eat today. If I continue, I might get overwhelmed. But they need a voice.

I haven't had any super traumatic experience, I haven't lived in poverty. Honestly, I don't know what that's like. But I do know that they deserve to have a voice. I don't just want to start small, I need to do something about it. Not for myself, but for Him. God has put this passion on my heart for a very specific reason.
