A long, long way to go.

I so often take for granted the countless and immeasurable freedoms I spend my days enjoying.

Probably because I have never felt like a victim of injustice.

Never, ever. 

As we celebrate the beauty that was the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, let's also acknowledge that there are still entire populations of people enslaved to injustice in the year 2012. 

Millions of women and children throughout the world are currently in bondage to human sex trafficking. 

A brutal reality that my mind doesn't want to think about. 

I have an 18 year old cousin (second cousin, technically) named Madison who is half way around the world climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro with around 30 other women in an effort to raise awareness, prayers, and finances to free those that have been sold into sex slavery.

From Madison's Facebook.
I don't think it's a real tattoo?

Here is a link to The Freedom Climb.

I would encourage you to read about the cause and support it prayerfully or financially if you are so inclined. 

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
