I realize that I have not posted this week. It has been quite a week.
We now have two sisters living with us. Natie is 17, moved in 2 weeks ago tonight. Last Saturday, Les and Natie drove to west Texas to pick up her 15 year old sister, Jolee.I am so glad that they are with us. We have had a lot of people stay with us through the years, Les says it has been over 100 people. Some for a week while waiting on a house to be ready, several college students who lived with us for a year, a few single mothers with their children, three foreign exchange students... We have just always felt that our house is God's house, and He has brought a lot of people to share it.
We have been blessed by all those that God has brought to our home. We have relationships with people that are eternal. When you have people living in your home, you become close, you make special memories and share special moments. Also, when you have people living in your home, you can't become angry and just decide not to be friends anymore. You are exposed. You see your selfishness, pride, pettiness, bad temper, moodiness, everything that you want to hide. So, here we are, becoming temporary parents to two precious teenage girls...a new adventure.
Our purpose is to encourage women to pursue a growing, passionate relationship with Jesus Christ through support, fellowship and discipleship. We strive to provide many opportunities to help women grow in relationship with Christ; to live the abundant life that Jesus promised, a life of joy and freedom, and to have relationships that are healthy and fulfilling.
