Our Decorated Tree

Gabs and Trish put the finishing touches on our Christmas tree this evening. I think it definitely screams University students. I like my first ever REAL Christmas tree. It makes me happy. With all the house lights off, 'N Sync Christmas music playing, and our lovely Christmas tree lights peaking out in the darkness... maybe it does feel a little like Christmas.

I Am Coming

The I Am Coming website and campaign is dedicated to raising awareness of the crisis of human trafficking for purposes of sexual exploitation and seeking to see the sex trade eradicated. Taken from the information conveyed on the website, each year 800, 000 women and girls are kidnapped and sold into the sex trade - rape for pay. Looking into this issue is most definitely worthy of your time and effort. Perhaps you may feel there is nothing you can do to solve huge issues in our world, but raising awareness is a significant start. Please fight in prayer for these women and girls - yet another significant way of making a difference.

Here is some information, found on the I Am Coming website:

*800,000 women and children kidnapped, trafficked, and raped each year.
*14,000,000 the number of enslaved people…more today than in 400 years of AA slave
*1-4 Years in prison for most traffickers who are arrested.
*$1000 USD, the cost to rescue one girl from the sex trade.
*$400,000,000,000 the cost of the American war on terror
*$20,000,000,000 the amount of money Americans spend each year on ice cream.

The I AM COMING Campaign’s Goals:
*To raise widescale awareness of this horrific injustice.
*To raise $50 million to combat human trafficking for purposes of sexual exploitation.
*To see world governments institute minimum sentencing of 20 years for traffickers.

My First Ever REAL Christmas Tree!

My housemates are fantastic! A few of them really wanted to get a real Christmas tree and I was totally indifferent to it. But when I went downstairs and saw it - wow! My first REAL Christmas tree EVER! SWEET! I can't wait to decorate it! :)

The Proof

Proof I did indeed go skating!
(Me, Ashley, Heather M., Heather R)

Skating yesterday brought great joy into my morning. I NEVER imagined I would ever say that. Perhaps it's the excellent company on the ice. Spending time with you gals on the ice this semester has been wonderful! Thank you. :)
