Child prostitution.
Sexual slavery.
Complete physical and emotional degradation.
It's not a thing of the past. In fact, in many places, it's a thriving, rampant industry. Take a trip to Bangkok, Thailand. In Thailand, this industry is a way of life, a cancer that is so widespread that it seems almost insurmountable to counteract. But a light shines in the darkness. A home called House of Grace exists for the sole purpose of rescuing girls out of prostitution and giving them a new beginning. Love and tender care is poured into them, and the faithfulness and grace of God is restoring them.
We need to be made aware. Not only of the problem, but of the incredible story of hope. And that is what this whole project is about. Revealing a ray of hope that is piercing through the pain and destruction and giving testimony to an awesome, redemptive God. Look into these girls eyes. Hear their stories and recognize the miracles that are occurring each and every day in their lives. Catch a glimpse of the face of God in the girls of Thailand.
Personal note from Hannah: I am in complete awe of God. This project started as a dream for me last August, a dream in which I felt very alone. The past two weeks have shown me how God has been orchestrating things for months on my behalf...on His behalf. The people and support that are signing onto this project is blowing my mind, and I know God is in this in a huge way. I am so overwhelmed by the confident knowledge that this dream is from God and I can't wait to see what He has in store. Your prayers are necessary...coveted.
Personally, I would appreciate prayers for the following:
1. That my heart is in tune with God's regarding every aspect of the project
2. That my perspective stays right where it should be
3. That Sarah and I are completely protected from the attacks of Satan in every way during the entire trip
4. That post-production results in exactly what God wants.
Want to help? Subscribe to the project blog [at www.RestoringGraceProject.blogspot.com where Hannah and Sarah will be updating us about their adventures and what God is doing. Join their support network. Pray. Donate if you can. Send emails of encouragement. As these two girls dare to live on the edge of faith, let’s all support them as much as we can. Here’s a need. Will you help be the change?

| " Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
- Hebrews 11:20 -
This seems to be the theme of my life lately. Every aspect of what I'm doing, what I'm involved in, everything that I'm dreaming is unknown. I feel like I'm standing at the foot of a bridge, having no idea what's on the other side, but beyond excited to start crossing. Being in the middle of His will provides incredible peace despite the insecurities. I love the faith that is evidence of His work in my life. How it is truly the substance of things hoped for. I'm hoping for a lot of things. Hopes that I believe are from Him, placed in my heart for a reason. I can't wait to see what lies ahead...
P.S. I just launched my website, I would love for you to check it out! You can find me at: lucereimagery.com

| Oh God, You are my God; early will I seek You: my soul thirsts for You, my flesh
longs for You in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is,
to see Your prower and Your glory....
Psalm 63:1-3

Everything in my life lately has challenged my thinking regarding the way that I live. The "little" decisions that compose the huge whole of my life. Minor adjustments. Major changes. The modes I go into, regarding either survival or success. And I'm convicted with the charge that my life should be one of worship. All the time. I'm reminded that the choice I make in every action, every word, every thought, every decision is what makes the difference between a life of worship and a that of desperate striving. I want everything I do to praise Him. Where substitutions are not acceptable and settling is not an option. A life that is not dictated by circumstances or human logic. A life that is a song to Him. Take these hands and lift them up
For I have not the strength to praise You near enough
For I have nothing, I have nothing without You
Take my voice and pour it out
Let it sing the songs of mercy I have found
For I have nothing, I have nothing without You
All my soul needs
Is all Your love to cover me
So all the world will see
That I have nothing without You
Take my body and build it up
May it be broken as an offering of love
For I have nothing, I have nothing without You
All my soul needs
Is all Your love to cover me
So all the world will see
That I have nothing
But I love You
With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind
With all the strength that I can find
Take my time here on this earth
And let it glorify all that You are worth
For I am nothing,
I am nothing without You - Bebo Norman -

"I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what He will say to me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved....For the vision is yet for an apointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it: because it will surely come, it will not tarry." Habakkuk 2:1,3 I was struck by the seeming contradiction at the end of this verse. Though it tarry, wait for it...surely it will come, it will not tarry. And I was convicted about my perspective regarding how I see pieces of my life falling, or not falling into place. I get settled into this habit of "waiting on the Lord", and all the while, He is at work, He is not tarrying. I must be patient for Him, for the righ timing, but at the same time I should wait for Him with expectancy. It may feel like things in my life are tarrying, but they really aren't. God performs so many steps in preparing me for situations, and situations for me, so that we will be perfectly equipped for each other. I may see it out ahead in the distance and want to immediately jump ahead to it, but my timing would negate the entire purpose of the situation because none of the factors that God wants to place there would be ready. It is not tarrying, it is simply progressing. Nothing is sedentary with God. He holds nothing back. I should have no concern that something won't come to me, when it's in God's will. And I don't want to miss out on the vision because I'm not looking for it with anticipation. I want to be ready to answer Him with a "Here I am Lord, send me", when He reproves me. | | |
