HideThere is something about laughter that is so healing. Two of the dancers said that they have never laughed that hard in their whole life!
A...sent me a few pics of the baby, she had already dressed her in the clothes I brought and was so thankful and excited!
She was sexually molested for all of her childhood. Her mom was murder when she was 16. Her dad is an active alcoholic. When she was 18, she got sucked into prostitution by a very powerful Pimp in TX. She spent a year of her life, traveling with 4 other women, being prostituted out all over the country. The pimp physically abused her many times.
That Thursday felt like any other ordinary day to us girls and our husbands, but by the end of the night our lives had been shifted so dramatically it's hard to remember the simplicity of life before August 28th 2008.
"she woke up in the morning, under a bridge, in her car, her clothes were wet, she had a hospital band on her wrist, and there was two hundred dollars cash spread throughout her car."
Wrinkles lined her forehead. Leathery skin made her body look older than she was. The harsh smell of her smokey breath nearly took my breath away. Scars all over her feet and hands. Face to face with a women who has given her years, 30+ of them to working in the sex industry, Gianna knows no different.
A dancer ran up to us ecstatic and excited that she's never stripping again!
After she was done getting pampered she looked into the mirror with a hug smile she said “I feel like a queen!â€
As I rubbed her hands so much smaller than my own, so delicate, I thought of a picture my mother hung over my bed when I was little. It was a picture of Jesus in a meadow with a little girl holding His hand. I realized I was blessed with this opportunity but this is what God longs for, to hold his daughter by the hand and lead her home.
God doesn’t see her as some stripper; He sees her as one of the most beautiful things He ever created. He sees her as she is now: in her Lucite heels and cheap lace costume in the dank back room of a strip club – and she is beautiful. He sees her as she could be: healed, free, whole – and she is beautiful.
