Puzzle Pieces

I have moved. Well, technically, I'm looking to move, I have a temporary (amazing!) home that I will be staying in until I can find a more permanent-ish one. The "ish" because no matter what, my sights are continually set on my goal of going to Romania yet again... and possibly not coming back. We all know this. This is not news. What IS news, is that I got a job working as a full-time nanny for a wonderful family in...wait for it...Seattle! What is truly exciting about this is, since the beginning of the year, I have been drawn to get involved in ending human trafficking. Seattle is actually one of the top cities in the country for human trafficking. Interesting how God works in that way. I am super excited to start making connections now that I am located here, and already have!

Here are some links from organizations in the Seattle area helping to prevent human trafficking:

Mars Hill Downtown Campus is hosting a town meeting to raise awareness Oct 19th.
 
New Horizons ministry reaches out to the girls on the streets.

YouthCare provides shelter for homeless youth.

And in the New York area: GEMS

Great resources and ideas on ways to help prevent and raise awareness for human trafficking.

I call these just pieces to the puzzle of my calling here in Seattle... who knows what other connections will come my way!
