Mother of Many

Today...i feel so sad. I have been so selfish with my life. Pouring out to "things" that I should not be, that in the end leave me feeling void and worse than i had anticipated. Makes my heart hurt and its a bittersweet reminder to go back to the source that is my Savior.

Rededicated, rededicate, rededicate. Probably should be one of my mottos!

Soooooo, I just finished an email to India Rescue Mission, check them out: http://www.indianrescuemission.org/ 

They literally go out and rescue our daughters and our sons. Christian-based. I am going to contact some of their contacts in the States...if you would love to help, i am sure they would could use it. Maybe one day, I...better yet, WE can be involved in a rescue. That would be nice. :)

But I am really here to share with you the response to my email asking a friend i made while in India if she was affected by the bombings that occurred in Mumbai June 2011:

Thanks for remembering us. I had reached home that day earlier than usual but it was indeed terrible to have terror strike again in the heart of Mumbai. Yesterday's paper indicated that the death toll had risen to 26 as a result of the terrible bomb blast. One of the bomb blast sites was close to the place where we had the first Aruna Drop in Center. "A" is enjoying her school and "D" is doing great she will finish her hair dressing and styling course next month. I now go to Nirmal Bhavan twice a week and see the girls for counseling on other days I go around to the other projects of Oasis. This involves a great deal of traveling in the city. Pray that I keep obedient to His call and remain in the centre of his will always.

Lovingly in Him
Accamma

"A" is a young 16 year who aspires to be a doctor. She still dreams...so many do not. She was sent to live with her uncle after her father passed. Her uncle proceeded to drug her and rape her for years until she ran away. Not knowing where to go she rode a train up and down india until she was rescued by a woman who found her a home. She is now living in a hope with other women who are victims. She knows English very well and is a smart, kind, very quiet young woman, who is worthy of our prayers.

"D" is a young woman, looks to be about 19 or 20, they say she is about that age. Her past is bits and flashes of hurt. She doesnt have big dreams but has a talent for hair and beauty treatments. When asked if she would ever get married, she shys away and says no. She has HIV. Women with HIV seldom think marriage is a possibility for them. She was trafficked for way too many years and now has a very difficult time opening up. She desperately needs the love of God.

Accamma is the woman who so unselfishly spends out her life caring for them by providing counseling and treatment to overcome the pain of their abuse. There are countless others under her care, and many more that have come and gone. She is the Mother of Many. While i was there for 17 days, she is there for a lifetime and can only deal by constantly rejuvenating with the source that brings life. Her heart is so pure and I feel such peace thinking of her and her life.

If you could pray for them and Mumbai as you read this post, that would be pretty awesome.
