Wow! What a weekend! I am so happy that we were able to serve as a "host home" for Disciple Now weekend! I am exhausted, but blessed! It makes me think back to a few years ago when we lived in a little singlewide mobile home on Tommy's uncle's land just down the road from where we are now. In the beginning, this was just fine for us, but as our family started to grow, it began to get a little cramped. Also, mobile homes don't hold up very well over time, and I was starting to feel really self-conscious about where we lived and people coming over. Don't get me wrong...I wouldn't trade those years for anything! But, we were dreaming of a house! I remember praying to God that if He would just allow us to be able to build a house, I would make it a warm and inviting place for people to come. Well, it isn't always clean and organized, but I think people feel welcome here...at least I hope so!
Anyway, it was actually kind of refreshing having all that testosterone in the house for a change! (We had 10 middle school age boys!) It was fun listening to them talk and noticing how different they are from girls, which is what I am use to! I think Tommy liked it because he wasn't out numbered for once!
My prayer is that they each received a blessing as well and that they will look back on this weekend as a fond memory and as a stepping stone in their walk with God.
Thank you, Jay, for the opportunity to serve God in this way!
