It took a while for me to decided on Blogging, everyone who knows me know I like to talk but I’m not always so good at writing down all the thing that happen during the day. Since moving to Athens so much exciting stuff has happened and I’m suddenly afraid I will get to the end of my journey and realise I forgotten most of it. I want to Blog so I can look back and remember what I did, the fun stuff that happened, the bad stuff, the things that encourages or truly touched me or just the normal life stuff. I'm not great at writing I often forget that I’m typing and things get jumbled up and then I forget to go back and re-read because I want to get on with something else, so this is the first of many apologise for my grammar but I hope you get the point.
I'm living in Athens with my husband (Chris) we volunteer for a non-profit organisation that works with men and women in prostitution we offer hope, assistant, support and alternatives and to see each one empowered by God for a new life. Some of these women have no other options in life than to work in the brothels or on the street because of problems in there home countries, no other option than to give themselves away to many different people over and over again each day. Some are forced to work day after day to pay off huge unjustly debt forced on them by the promise of good job abroad, because someone has then there passport or travel documents or because they are beaten or threatened. Whatever the reason no one wants to work in this occupation and no matter what someone tells you how would you feel selling your body, mind and soul over and over again. God loves these women he know everything about each one of them and we are working for Him to show love unconditional and complete.
This is then I hope the first of many blogs and I hope you enjoy them and are encourages by them or just interested to know how life is with us!
Love you blog!! I cant wait to read more! xx
