I don't know what to say - Masika

I have been deliberating for months.. (yes for months) to put this woman's story on my blog.. only I did not know what to say.

Her name is Masika... She is an inspiration.

I did not know what to write... Every time I started to write something. Words failed me. What could I possibly say to justify this woman's experience. I mean I'm just an individual who has a laptop, and a blog. What could I possibly say?? I mean the likes of the writers for AlJazeera and CNN Heroes could possible do her more justice.

I told my friend I didn't know what to write. Because I haven't written anything on her, I find it hard to even write anything else.. the significance of what I want to blog about pales in comparison to Masika's story. She just advised me.. just write anything even "I don't know what to say...

So I don't know what to say.. but I think what I want to say is the following:

Her name is Masika, and she experienced hell on earth. For the first time in my life.. I understood the meaning of unspeakable. I mean I have always been frank about gruesome stuff and had no problem telling gruesome stories or reporting them, but for the first time in my life i understood the true meaning of unspeakable. I was numb with shock by the time i was done watching her video... What can you say, what can you do.. I mean what do you even think you want to say or pray. Surely demons walk this earth.. that i'm sure of now. I mean how can your situation be so bad that even the church will turn away from you.

Just to thank God for her life, and helping her over come.

Nothing I can say can do her justice. I'm quite surprised that her video has just 20,000+ views, not sure why this hasn't been talked about more. She was in Congo when all this happened to her.   The least I can do is create awareness and ask you guys to remember to include her in your prayers. Also be aware that you have it good!! not to minimise your problems or anything, but for you to see what is really going in this world..

I do not believe one should keep quiet about these matters or ignore them, but at least be aware of them. Though, even I couldn't watch this video more than once. It was too harrowing.

I have a quote I would like to say to Masika in thoughts and in spirit

"I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved, lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.  - Abraham Licoln"

without further ado... (please be advised that the narration is quite gruesome and you will be watching this at your own risk)

Masika


with thoughts and prayers.
