This was a hard read. And this comes from a girl who has an entire section of her blog devoted to fighting human trafficking. I actually cried in a Les Schwab Tire Center while reading it.

Those of us leading lives that are so far removed from those of the people living in places like Sudan just cannot fathom the despair and hopelessness of their situation. Our heads cannot believe that these things happen. Our hearts cannot let these things in. And if we do manage to let some of this through and sink in to our spirits, most of the time we end up weeping on the floor or screaming at God to do something (been there). But then there are some people who let it sink deeply. Who just cannot sit still. Who throw everything else aside and DO SOMETHING. Kimberly Smith is one of these people and her story of crusading for justice for the orphans of this world is stunning.

The crazy thing is, this is what God calls us to do. The Bible is all about orphans. All about widows. All about the poor. All about the outcast, the forgotten, the cast aside, the oppressed, the weak, the humble. And if we truly answered God’s call, there would be a whole lot more Kimberly Smiths (who, by the way, looks a lot like Jesus) in this world, and so many more people could have a hope and a future. But we are so scared. I am so scared.
