At the She Dances home in Honduras, we believe that forgiveness is essential to the healing process of the young girls who enter into our home carrying more pain and undeserved baggage than anyone should ever have to. We teach that even when we feel someone doesn’t deserve forgiveness we still forgive because it releases us from the spiritual and emotional bondage of the person who caused the bitterness, fear, and pain in our life. With this approach, we’ve seen young girls who in the past have been treated as commodities, constantly manipulated, and abused sexually, emotionally, verbally, and physically step into a place of allowing themselves to be fully restored. Even to the point of an 11 year old girl, who lived in a brothel without seeing the light of day for three years, asking for prayers for her parents who abused her at a young age and sold her. It’s truly amazing to see the almost immediate effects of a young girl understanding forgiveness. But what is even more truly amazing is where this powerful forgiveness comes from. It comes from a place much deeper than a therapy session or a well equipped curriculum, although those things are important. It comes from a personal encounter with the ultimate healer and the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ. For our young girls, when they found Jesus, they found forgiveness, and when the found forgiveness, they found healing, and when they found healing, they found freedom. It’s not often that we blog about our faith in Jesus, but on this day, for this blog, it’s just simply the truth, and it’s as real as we can get.

Many thanks to everyone who came out Friday night to the first annual BACKSPIN 2012 and helped make it a wonderful success. The competition was fun and intense, the tapas were delicious, the dresses were stunning, and the atmosphere was full of hope, inspiration, love, and celebration. After the tournament there were over 50 encouraging love letters written to our girls in Honduras followed by the talented Har Megiddo performing a dub step set. Congrats to Tommy for winning the Table Tennis Tournament. We can’t thank you all enough and couldn’t be more pleased. The photos below were taken at the event by Reine Owens.

I want a husband one day who will love me and I can love him. I will enjoy baking cookies for him. He will treat me good, with lots of kindness.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all of our amazing supporters, partners, and blog readers. This quote from one of the young girls receiving healing and restoration in our home is one of hope and promise. This is the same girl who at one point, for understandable reasons, didn’t trust any man. After we had the privilege and honor of bringing her into our home and loving her the way she deserves to be loved, she now is able to dream of the day when she has a loving husband with a kind heart. Instead of being cursed at, spit on, and used as a sexual commodity every day for months at a time, Gloria now is encouraged, welcomed, empowered, and loved. At She Dances we all celebrate these words coming out of her mouth, healing has and is continuing to take place within her. This Valentine’s Day we invite you to celebrate this growth and healing with us and proclaim that today and every day is a day of love for Gloria and the other young girls in our home.
Thank you for your continued support of our restorative work. You have created a She Dances family that is changing lives and moving mountains for precious young girls in Honduras.
