One of my favorite Halloween costumes // I’ve always been partial to gold and glitter. Y’all know that. I wanted so badly to be Jem that year but didn’t have a microphone and I had convinced myself I needed one or else. I made this potato on a stick thingamajiggy and was covering it with tinfoil when my uncle Eddie let me borrow his microphone that he used for gigs with his band. I totally freaked out and was so grateful and so scared I was going to break it. Loved always having my bff Heather and a house full of cousins. So happy that I got to be a kid and have a childhood where I knew I was cared for and loved. // I hear a lot of stories in the anti-trafficking ministry and most of them I want to immediately forget. I’ve met girls not too much older than I was in this picture on the streets or in brothels. It is hard work but I’m glad to walk alongside people here in Prague hoping and praying that people find healing and get to feel safe and worthy of love and belonging. Lord help us.

5 years ago today I reached 100% support to be able to move to Prague, Czech Republic! Feeling really grateful for each step in this long journey and each family member, friend, and even strangers who helped, gave of themselves and encouraged to make all this possible! Praise Jehova! Missing all my Prague peeps today and grateful that this moment happened so I could even have Prague peeps. 🙌 #jessinprague #jersinprarg #coolcoloreffects #blayessed #ohyeahandmaythe4thbewithyou
