KARRUECHE VIST TO THE IDP CAMP IN ABUJA #BRINGBACKOURGIRLSREFUGE



I had the opportunity to visit an IDP camp in Abuja where many of the #bringbackourgirls came to.
I remember seeing the #bringbackourgirls movement on social media but seeing it in person was a much different experience. I was able to listen to this mothers story of her journey from Northern Nigeria.


It was very heartbreaking to hear and to see their living conditions.
She said when it rains they have no choice but to stand and there is little to no work for her husband.


I told her I admire her for her strength and I will pray for her and her family everyday.
This was a very humbling experience for me-I cried at the thought of ever complaining about anything in life. It is unfortunate but I know God will protect them. We can not save the world but we can take small steps to help #WithLove



Something about this lil princess I was very drawn to.. Every time I looked at her she kept giving me shy looks - I asked her to come over to me and she gave me the biggest hug.

I've lost myself. My heart caved in fear, my mind drawn to worry. Worries about tomorrow, worries about the decisions I'll make, worries about what/ who I'll become, worries about who I'll end up with, worries about everything and the awareness of reality and life holds me on a grip too tight. I can't afford to make mistakes, I fear that I'll make one, I fear that something would go wrong and in that moment it hits me! God saw this coming, he knew this would happen and ahead of time he said in his word Matt...
