In the past week and a half, I have driven to San Luis Obispo, Los Angeles, Agoura Hills, Oxnard, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Thousand Oaks, La Verne, and Pasadena. Whoosh!
As many of you have heard, in August I resigned my position with Joni and Friends. After a couple of months of respite, I began volunteering part-time as the Ministry Relations Director for Hope Rising, a brand-new nonprofit combating human trafficking in the 805 area. Yes, it is discouraging and draining to fight human rights violations, but I absolutely love focusing my energy and attention on helping people suffering from violent oppression. It has been inspiring and educating to meet law enforcement, social service workers, and victim advocates likewise laboring in abolitionism.
What is your passion? What is your "treasure in the field"--the thing you would sell everything to obtain?
Speaking of which, I am still looking for part-time work to supplement my thrift store shopping compulsion and other odds and ends like food and healthcare. Connect with me on LinkedIn and/or let me know if you have any leads. I'm not sure exactly what the future will look like, but every week brings another piece to the shape. The cause of justice is always worth our best.
