Monday, after much work from a woman who was actually my “mom” for the weekend during my first Oireachtas (Irish Dance regionals) back in high school, the person in charge of the Washington State branch of Not for Sale came down to the “ugly side of the state” for the day.
Not for Sale is an abolitionist group working to end modern day slavery, so she came, first of all, to talk with our very baby coalition and give us some pointers on how to get started. Then, in the evening, she spoke to a group of eighty-seven people from across Tri-town, to tell her story and hopefully inspire some networking and direct action.
Watching any sort of creation can be almost (or actually) painful at times, but exhilarating too, and I am beyond excited for the things that God can and will do through this too-new-to-have-a-name coalition of people who are letting Him stir up dreams and passions in their hearts and unsettle the comfortableness of their lives.
