went to a talk today about International Justice Mission (IJM). was really encouraged and reminded of reality. i like what the director from Philippines said "through doing this, i myself was rescued. i was rescued from my city big lawyer lifestyle and thinking 'my world is falling apart' when these ppl are really enslaved."
she was a lawyer by profession. a few years ago, she joined IJM full-time and became a prosecutor for the underaged children who were sold to sex slavery.
so true. sometimes we can get caught up with our little problems that we fail to see how blessed and materially rich we already are. and we fail to see or even notice the different lives that ppl are experiencing around us...
