Several years ago my hairstylist talked me into trying a facial with Deidre who rented the upstairs loft at Sandy's Hair Design. It was my first ever spa experience and I was hooked. Turns out I knew Deidre. Dana and Deidre's daughter were buddies in the 2nd grade at Christian Center school. When Deidre opened her own spa (Selah Day Spa) I became a loyal customer. I don't often splurge on things for myself but this is one area that I will sacrifice other things in order to occasionally indulge in. Deidre is just one of those rare people that others are drawn to. God's Spirit is so evident in her. I always come away refreshed and renewed.
When Dana turned 13 I decided to treat her to a facial at Selah. It has become our birthday tradition. When Clark lost his job in September I reluctantly canceled the appointment I had scheduled. After Christmas I called and scheduled our traditional birthday facials. I set aside money for Dana's facial from Christmas money I received from family and figured that Clark would have a job by the end of February. Well, still no job. So I decided I had better call and cancel my birthday facial. When asked if they could reschedule I explained that Clark was still unemployed and I would have to wait until he found a job. Deidre was sitting at the desk when she heard the phone conversation and told her receptionist, Mary, that she wanted to comp my facial and for me to come on in on my birthday. I tried to hold back the tears but I failed miserably. Mary said that her and Deidre would lift me in prayer after she hung up. They have no idea how much they encouraged me today. God does.
