My Refuge House is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit ministry that provides a safe home to empower and restore survivors of commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) and abuse. My Refuge House can only restore lives with the help of generous donations from people like you. Without the gifts we receive, young children would not have a safe, loving and nurturing place to find healing and restoration after they are

rescued. Are you an avid runner, biker or even Zumba enthusiast? ļ»æ

We're dedicating the month of May to our girls at My Refuge House. When you run, bike or even dance you can help bring about awareness about the issue of human trafficking. In addition to the awareness you can use that movement to raise funds to continue the efforts of My Refuge House.

We found a sprinkler during todayā€™s šŸ¤£ It seemed to inspire a little extra movement and a little extra freedom.

It kind reminded me of a video of our girls sliding down a slip and slide a few years ago. Iā€™ll try to find and share that video again soon.

If you would like to join us or support the work of joy and hope and healing thatā€™s happening at you can do so at movementforfreedom.com

Sakura picked up a crochet hook. šŸ§¶

Now sheā€™s teaching some of our staff. šŸ¤£

This is what a Creator Catalyst looks like ā€” someone whose spark is so bright it lights up everyone around them. Turns out, creativity is contagious.

Ike (our 13-year-old) accepted Nanaā€™s challenge to join this year. She said sheā€™d sponsor him with a donation every day he moves for 30 minutes. Heā€™s an now and determined to keep moving every day. My hope is always that my kids know that theyā€™re also part of the family, and itā€™s fun that itā€™s more tangible this month. Thanks for always inspiring people to show up.

Iā€™ll add Ikeā€™s name to the list of drop downs at movementforfreedom.com so those of you who feel inspired can join my mom in your support of him and make a difference in the lives of our girls at MRH!

A quilt is made of many pieces ā€” different colors, different textures, different stories ā€” stitched together into something that holds you.

The quilting circle at St. John Lutheran Church in Abingdon, VA, has given each of our girls something rare for years. The newest girls got theirs this week. šŸ„¹ Something to call only their own. Made by hand. Given with love. Stitched with the kind of care that says: you belong here. You are held.

We are so grateful for this support.

Thatā€™s what Creator Catalysts do. They make things that carry meaning further than words can go . . . art that stitches people together and says to someone who needs it: you are seen. You are worth someoneā€™s time and care.

If you create, your art is a catalyst too. Join the movement at movementforfreedom.com šŸŽØšŸ”„

RIP to our volleyball, spiked so hard it split open. šŸšŸ’€

It was spiked so hard into the scoreboard it split clean open. Weā€™re not even mad ā€” thatā€™s commitment.

Enjoy this glimpse of joy with Omar and our girls, pumping up the replacement. And Elizabeth? She didnā€™t waste any time breaking it in.

This is Team MRH ā€” moving every day, showing up every day, and apparently destroying equipment in the process. šŸ˜„

Shout out to Ike whoā€™s continuing to level up and meet Nanaā€™s challenge of working out at least 30 minutes a day. Today was a soccer day while wearing his jersey. So grateful for the way this kid is curious about and supports my team and our girls at šŸ«¶

Today I journeyed with two friends. Twists and turns and ups and downs around town. It struck me as we moved and shared about our lives that there are deep parallels between our own lives and the larger movement for freedom beyond our individual lives. Some of the twists and turns are unexpected. Some of the hard parts go on longer than we want or feel ready for. But when weā€™ve got each other, we have encouragement and people who remind us to pace ourselvesā€¦or friends whoā€™ve ā€œbeen thereā€ and can affirm that itā€™s terrible at the moment, but it gets better and to have a little grace.

I find myself feeling a little anxious lately about the state of the world and the impact it might have on ā€¦ Iā€™m not always forthcoming with my anxieties, but I was reminded today that sharing our angsts alongside our hopes is a good way to invite friends in so we donā€™t carry it all alone.

This is what I always hope weā€™re teaching and modeling for the girls at MRH. It is what I hope you know youā€™re supporting when you donate to šŸ«¶

ā€œThe Power of Showing Up.ā€

That was the theme at this morningā€™s South Pasadena Prayer Breakfast, and honestly, itā€™s the heartbeat of everything weā€™re building at right now.

This morningā€™s breakfast said everything Iā€™ve been trying to say about our Neighbor track in Movement for Freedom. A room full of people committed to being present . . . in prayer, in generosity, near and far.

Weā€™re so grateful My Refuge House was seen and supported here again this year alongside so many other incredible organizations.

Showing up is a spark too. If thatā€™s yours ā€” link in bio. šŸ”„

Yesterday I moved the way instructed. Today my body said slow down ā€” and Iā€™m listening. šŸ˜„

So today Iā€™m showing up as a Neighbor. A Catalyst whose spark today looks like stillness, prayer, and holding the girls and my coworkers at My Refuge House in my heart.

Iā€™ve been sitting with this prayer by Miriam Therese Winter all day. ā€œI am the Refuge of all who weep. I am the Mother of all who live.ā€ If youā€™ve been following and wondering if thereā€™s a place for you that doesnā€™t involve running shoes or aching knees, this is it.

Will you pray with me today? For the girls in Cebu who are healing. For the staff who love them. For the movement thatā€™s growing around them.

Three tracks. One movement. Your spark doesnā€™t have to look the same every day. šŸ”„
