See ya!
I'm closing out this blog. I may re-open it at a future date, but for now, feel free to follow my main blog (Modern Christian Girls) instead. Thanks!

Bands to Break Bonds
Slavery. It isn't history...it's reality. Children. Teens. Forced labor. Forced prostitution. Illegal, but real.
This is one of the unpleasant realities of our world.
But we can change it.
The charity? Bands to Break Bonds. The concept? Simple: the profits from every wristband that is purchased are donated to Rapha House (RaphaHouse.org--a charity actively fighting human trafficking and the effects of modern slavery, no affiliation). In addition, the wristbands provide you with a subtle yet constant reminder to pray for the children who are victims of human trafficking.
Take a look! http://www.BandsToBreakBonds.org
Wristbands are $2 each.
4 ways you can help child slaves through Bands To Break Bonds:
1) Pray for the children. (this is the most important one)
2) Tell your friends about BandsToBreakBonds (blog, tweet, post on facebook, e-mail, text, talk, newsletter, etc....any way you can get the word out is helpful :)
3) Buy yourself a band. In fact, buy bands for your friends and family as gifts and/or buy bands and sell them (because you buy them from us, we still donate our profits to stopping human trafficking and you are still helping child slaves, even if you make money for yourself by selling them)
4) Help with the project. We need you to help us! Whether you raise awareness, write for the blog, sell bands, find vendors, or help plan awareness events and fundraisers, your help is much appreciated.
Thanks!!
God bless!

One Word
Hi again,
Sometimes, we need to change ourselves before we can change others.
Here's a great site I ran across the other day: myoneword.org
I haven't been able to look through it all, but from what I've seen it's a good Christian site focused on helping other Christians attain their one goal for the year.
That one goal is expressed through one word which each person can choose for themself. Neat idea, yeah?
Blessings!
Ruth
