Being a vessel for change can be brutal. You face the world in way you would have never thought possible. You evoke feelings and emotions from people you never thought would speak in such a way back to you. But being the light in darkness is piercing to others and sometimes it hurts.
But Jesus!
Today we were able to testify to some of the concerns we have over the state of our children's well being at the State Capitol in a House Committee meeting for Health & Welfare. We were only given 3 minutes each, yet I cannot tell you how proud I was to actually be a resident of Louisiana for a moment. To watch as one by one people courageously came up to speak. Christy Foret Falgout your boy was amazing!! (I think they might have thought he was my kid tho. 
) And your passion Monique L Hodson I pray sparks change. (We are about a hour and a half in on the video)
) And your passion Monique L Hodson I pray sparks change. (We are about a hour and a half in on the video)It is easy to judge based on the face value, the cover of a book or the facade of a person. You only see it for a moment and can speculate you know everything you need to know. Even in our words we stumble and think did I say everything I wanted to say? Did I say it right? Was it clear? It is time we break the habit of judgement and start to dig deeper into the heart of the matter. It is time to see people's hearts and not just their faces.
