And the greatest of these is love...


Welcome to my very first attempt at blogging. This summer, I am working as a legal intern with International Justice Mission in South Asia, assisting with child sex trafficking casework. This is a labor of love; I'm quite inspired by the work of Mother Teresa, who devoted her life to pouring love into people who were considered "untouchables." The title of this blog, love is in the loving, comes from Mother Teresa, who once said:

"The success of love is in the loving (...) There is the love expressed in the service and the love in the contemplation. It is the balance of both which we should be striving for. LOVE is the key to finding this balance."

This summer, I will do my best to keep yall posted as I strive, through grace, to balance love in service and love in thought as we fight oppression and injustice in South Asia.
