“The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but bruises and sores and raw wounds…” Isaiah 1:5-6
I have read many blogs that have struck a chord with me and I have admired them very much, but one woman has opened my eyes to a world that no one should ever have to experience.
Stella Marr began visiting my blog recently, so I decided to visit hers and see what she was writing about. I was shocked and horrified by her personal stories. Stella is a former prostitute who writes about her ordeal with anguish and bravery, and her voice is immensely important in this time when our world has become so hypersexual. This subject resonates with me because I was molested and misused by numerous men during my childhood years.
One of Stella’s most poignant writings is entitled “An Ex-Hooker’s Letter to Her Younger Self.” Please read it here: http://secretlifeofamanhattancallgirl.wordpress.com/
Jesus always stood up for women who were victimized in society and He restored their dignity. As a Christian, I feel that we should encourage and comfort people like Stella who are using their voices to try to put an end to great evils, in this case the horror of sex trafficking. Because she has endured so much injustice and is brave enough to come forward with her story to try to help others, I would like to nominate her for the HUG (Hope Unites Globally) Award.
I admire you, Stella! I pray that you will find comfort and peace in Christ and that you will hear His voice calling your name…
“Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest…I am gentle and humble at heart and you shall find rest for your souls.” Matthew 11:28
