Prostitution

I HATE that this is legal in New Zealand. What kind of country makes that legal? Frick frick frick. AND what kinda guys actually 'use' these services. AGHHHHH!!!!

Makes me sick when I think about the guys that use them, and breaks my heart when I see a prostitute just waiting on a corner.

Came face to face with it tonight, talked to a girl my age, waiting.......

OH why do they resort to this....is it horrible and terrible for them? Are they so numb that it's just a 'ordinary' job to them, what drives them to do this....last resort? Screwed up childhood, abuse, the recession????? Pressure for finances, for all I/we know they might have a office job, where they get in their corporate gear, get their morning coffee, sit at their desk every day, but at night, they become someone else, to get the extra cash.........I just DONT know. I HATE that it's legal so much. There are so many other options out there for woman, if they only had the support around them or someone close enough to them that just cares and loves them enough to try everything they can to just....protect them from going to jobs like this.

Horrible. Ask me about tonight if you want....in person. I could have done more. I hate that I didn't, my mind hasn't stopped thinking of all the things I could have done to stop her from getting in that car, sooner. I dont understand why God didn't answer my prayers for that hour or two following, and I'm not supposed to understand, I'm beyond disappointed, way beyond. Anything could happen to her, not saying I'm miss 'Life Saver' and that any chat that I would have had with her would be like this genius life changing chat where she broke down in front of me, admitted it was a last resort, pleaded for help, I find her a job or course to do, somewhere cheap to live, financial support and get her on an awesome new path of life.....as amazing as that would have been....it could have been totally possible...jesus could have given me all the right words to pull on her heartstrings and that could have happened. Could have. Didn't.

Too late....

101 Things You Should Do Before Going To Heaven - No.7 - Get Comfortable In Your Own Skin

So a few months ago I said I'd bought a book called '101 things you should do before you go to heaven'.

The three latest entries I've read are my faves so far...I'll post one of them tonight:

Number 7: Get Comfortable In Your Own Skin

When you get a new pair of shoes, the only way to make them comfortable is to break them in. The same goes for your body. God has given you a one-of-a-kind physical form. He wove it together just for you and created it to reflect His glorious image. God intertwined both beauty and wander into it, inside and out. But your body is not an art object to be put on a pillar and admired. It's a tool that the real you, the eternal part of you that loves and creates and hopes and dreams and worships, uses while you're on this earth. Once you get to heaven, you'll recieve a new body-one that wont break down or wear out. But you're not there yet. So the more comfortable you are in the body you have right now, the better you'll be able to use it and enjoy it as each day here on earth unfolds.

You dont break in a new body by mistreating it. You need to take care of it, like any tool, so it can do its job well and last a long time. You break in a body by getting off the couch and becoming active whenever you get the chance. Get down on the floor and play with a child. Use your muscles to help your new neighbours move into their house. Put on a swimsuit and get some exercise, no matter what size that swimsuit is. Jump and skip and life and kneel, even if you jiggle and wiggle and need help getting up.

The less self-conscious you are, the better job you'll do at breaking in your body and becoming confortable with who you are and how you're made. So, ask God to help you put your inhibitions aside. Stop comparing yourself to others. Get up and get moving. There are places in this world where only a tool like you can do the job.
