This morning while I was blow drying my hair, I noticed a spider starting to hang down from the ceiling. Not knowing what to do, I decided to….blow dry it to death. Obviously. I pointed the dryer close to the spider to make sure it got super hot until I realized I was pointing my blow dryer directly onto the fire sprinkler. I quickly moved the dryer off praying it wouldn’t start spewing with water….that would have been an embarrassing story…..don’t worry it didn’t go off.

I lead the devotional before staff meeting today. Since I’m leading a relaxation seminar tomorrow, I thought it would be fitting to talk about being at peace. It seemed to be pretty effective for the employees since they are constantly under so much stress, they work so hard.

I worked with one of IJM’s STAR clients today. She was just…such an incredible person. She was so joyful, and so happy, and so grateful for how IJM has changed her life. She told us how she didn’t think she could have pursued charges for her perpetrator if it weren’t for IJM. Her case took 10 years to reach a conviction. 10 years. She is studying in mass communications now, which IJM has paid for. She has so much hope for the future, I was so encouraged and so honored to have met her.
