From Sarah, March 7, 2009.
We had the retreat with the ladies yesterday. It was A M A Z I N G! I talked with one of the newer women and she was so open. She is so encouraged to finally be able to see freedom and new life as something that is in within her reach. She never thought that she would be able to have a good job in a good place and be treated with dignity and respect. Those are her words not mine. She just confirmed for me that there is nothing I would not do for these beautiful women. Conversations like those move me forward, remind why I do what I do, why I put up with false friends, lying landlords and verbal assault. Their freedom, the people who they are and will be and Jesus who compels me, are sometimes the only things that make sense to me.
