Freedom Sunday!

As some of you know I recently had to give a persuasive speech in my English class. My teacher gave us the opportunity to choose whatever topic, so I argued against child trafficking, specifically supporting chocolate companies that participate in child trafficking. As far as I was concerned this speech was just going to be another one of those hurry-up-and-get-it-over-with type of things. But as it turned out, I became  very interested in my subject and have since continued to pursue researching child trafficking.

I have decided that I will not purchase any chocolate as well as support any other companies (clothes, coffee, toys, etc.) that are participating in child trafficking. This is WAY easier said than done. I love chocolate!!!...clothes and coffee are pretty great too. But these are all material objects that will not be with me in heaven. They most certainly do not define me and are therefore unnecessary. Is not a child's life more important than a chocolate bar?

I know being an abolitionist in as simple a way as this will make a  HUGE difference.
2 Chronicles 15:7

“But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.”
