Last night (12/23)

Last night Amanda and I went to one of the clubs to meet back up with Melissa. Amanda and Melissa connected last week when we handed out the gift bags.

Melissa told Amanda she has a lot of family members living with her right now, and she's financially responsible for all of them. Melissa says she wants out of the business, and Amanda told her we have various connections to help her with her resume, interviewing skills, and finding a job.

While Amanda was talking to Melissa, I had a chance to talk to Julie the cashier. She wants to be a cop (preferably a vice cop) and then move on to the mounted patrol unit because she loves horses. Julie and I have a lot in common. I used to show Arabian horses and used to be a cop so I encouraged her to pursue a career in law enforcement. Julie is the sole provider for her 3 kids ages 4 years, 2 years and 4 months.

We found out the cashier (not Julie) was robbed the night before. Security chased him down and shot at his car, but he got away. Please pray for the safety of the girls. Even with bouncers and security, bad stuff still happens.

If you think about it, please say a prayer for Melissa and Julie and all of the other girls in clubs across the world. Some of them are there by choice. Some feel they have no other choice.
