Tonight, I'm surrounded by boxes and boxes and boxes containing all my worldly "stuff." In 10 days, a POD will arrive to collect it all for storage. A few more days crammed with last-minute details including good-byes to my beloveds at Tree of Life Fellowship, and, in just two weeks (from today), I leave for my San Francisco summer with Because Justice Matters.

I'll land at SFO, wrangle two suitcases - each pushing the 50 pound max allowed - out of the airport and into some form of transport headed for 357 Ellis Street in San Francisco.

This will begin my dream to spend a summer with the amazing visionary women at Youth With a Mission's Because Justice Matters ministry - an outreach to women living, surviving and even thriving in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood.

I'll write more in the next days about this summer. My privilege and joy will be to love, pray for, come alongside, bring healing to, and enjoy the BJM staff and the women who will come to their new Women's Center.
