Shoes for auction

A friend at church is going to conference & they have a mission project & this year it is Human Trafficking. Reading the brochure it says that Human trafficking is a modern day form of slavery, widespread throughout the United States today. It is the 2nd largest criminal industry in the world after drug dealing and is the fastest growing. There are many forms of trafficking. Hard to believe as far as we have come in this modern world that things like that still go on. We are very blessed in our lives. Well my friend asked if I would decorate shoes to be auctioned. This one turned out pretty good , my other one didnt turn out the way Id imagined & my friend let the 3 yr old she nannies decorate the boot, It is really cute with the eyes. The little girl was very compassionate about people not being free. We tried to explain it in 3 year old terms. My friend told me we only had to do 1 shoe not the pair, no one will be wearing them..
Funny I was trying to think of a scripture that would go along with this & my Bible Study scripture this week just seemed to jump out at me. Psalm 119:133-4 says Guide my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by any evil. Rescue me from the oppression of evil people; then I can obey your commandments.

This shoe I decoupaged parts of the brochure about Human Trafficking

It says look beneath the surface - you may be surprised people around you could be forced to be in Human trafficking. Force, fraud & coercion are the methods used by traffickers to press victims into lives of servitude and abuse:
