Big...no, HUGE, and Exciting News

First of all, I'm not pregnant...so those of you waiting for that news can go on to your next blog. Those of you who are still here, thank you!!

Second, all of y'all doing that sea-to-see either by the CRC church or through YFC are an inspiration to my young, relatively strong, not so in shape, and a little on the lazy side legs. Know that you are an inspiration to all of us! If you bike to my house, I promise a high-carb spaghetti, chocolate chip cookies, and knock-off Superman Ice Cream.

Thrid, I have earth-shattering news...okay really earth-shattering in many senses, but in my book, it's so totally just that big to me.

YFC has given me the blessing of starting up a half-way house of sorts. I'm going to write about this in a future newsletter so this will be repeated for those of you who read both blog and newsletter but here's what I got so far:

It's a half-way house for kids that home isn't what it's supposed to be and instead of running away, we'll take them in and make sure they're safe. It's a place that they'll have chores, learn how to cook, shop, budget, and do laundry. It's a place where they can not have the worries of the world but yet will have the opportunity to talk and feel important, listened to, loved, and empowered. It's a place they can go instead of running away.

There is more huge news out there in my world, pray for this and the next steps. I am not at liberty at the moment to tell you the other piece of news (not a pregnancy) that is just as big, if not bigger.

I prayed for change this morning, twice, fully ready and expecting to change and this is what God is doing with my willingness. Amazing isn't it? So I ask, that if you pray, first pray only if you truly want it and will be willing to do it and second, that you expect it to happen. If you don't expect it, you're probably wasting your time and God's.

God's love to all.
