After watching Jaycee Lee Dugard's interview last night on TV, I can't stop looking at what I have and just thanking God. Even hearing her story still gives me chills. If you weren't fortunate to watch the interview last night, I suggest you find a friend who DVR-ed it and watch it. Bring a box of tissues.
Seriously though, I'm so thankful. For my home, my friends, my family, my education, my stocked pantry, my car, my job. Everything in my life is such a gift from God, and even when things seem to go wrong, it's easy to think of the less fortunate and realize how blessed we are.
I'm saying a prayer of thanks, but also praying for those stuck in captivity. Children, young women, and even men, I'm praying that those caught in the darkness of human trafficking will be rescued from this life. If it's today or tomorrow or next year, I'm staying hopeful that they will be saved by the only one who really matters and that they'll find hope. I know and trust that their rescue is possible, and I know that people at International Justice Mission are eagerly working for this purpose.
