HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS MY HEART

I prayed for more clarity for my purpose with Elegantees. I haven't figured out yet how to make this company grow more. Am I doing something wrong? 

Then I realized I might not be humble if I'm always doing it right. I'll paraphrase what the actor Jonathan Roumie shared. He has the potential to be prideful in our successes. He's thankful though that God seems to block him from doing so, even though it can be painful at times. It keeps him humble. 

To me, Jonathan has an aroma that is beautiful. When I hear him speak about his walk in life, his heart posture doesn't give himself glory, but makes me (and millions others) draw nearer to God's heart instead. 

That's a life worth living.

My apartment in New York City is an old 7 story building, with wood floors, and sometimes water can leak in the ceilings. Our neighbor upstairs walks back and forth a lot, and boy, do our floors creak. I can sleep through any noise honestly, but sometimes I wonder if the ceiling will collapse. Totally irrational of a fear, but I even have dreams about cracks forming in the ceiling!

The other night, my dream was much more intense. The ceiling didn't just crack a lot, it also collapsed and I watched it in slow motion. When I woke up, I immediately thought of Rana Plaza. It took 1,138 lives in Bangladesh in 2013. The slow but fast death of a building collapse.

I woke up not with fear, but a reminder that there are 50 million people considered to be in modern day slavery worldwide. I prayed for clarity, and this was the dream and reminder I was given.

I'm working from home on Mondays until further notice. Pouring into the office 5 days a week has me dried up for anything else than staying busy with interns. The Monday interns will still go in, but I'm not going to be their supervisor those days anymore.

So many responses came when I recently shared about mental fatigue. Hearing how this also affects other teachers, I have a deeper appreciation. I am going to try delegating more. I'm also thankful for the clarity in this year's “assignment” for me to delegate.

Thank you for your support and love!

With joy, Katie
