Today I walked Amsterdam with Thanja. Persuaded her to walk me to the very well known red light district. You won't even notice you're already there, because I felt that way. The buildings are the same as the other buildings all around Amsterdam and the only difference is that there are signboards indicating the kind of shops there are. Free Porno. Sex toys. And then I wondered about the women. Where are they?
Well...like what many people have said, they stood in their bedrooms, soliciting for business in their underwears. Some old, some fat, some skinny and lovely. I saw a guy who went to ask for a price. Then I became depressed. I already started getting depressed before, but that snapped.
Thanja and I started praying for these women and men. God, how much they need you! It broke my heart to walk through that place, how much it must break Yours when You walked through it. While walking, some men just stared at us girls. Was disgusting how it felt to be stared at like pleasure objects. Yucks! I cannot imagine how the women there are still in the trade and why they do it! They must hate themselves. :(
It was so good to burst out in prayer though. Suddenly felt like we were prayer walking and touring at the same time. Got to the Amsterdam base after, and hung out more. Was so good to see you Thanja! :)
lovin' it!
