"My home is lively.
            There is rarely a dull moment in my home. Fifty young girls live, play, and thrive in these walls and they are constantly in motion. Whether it is playing card games, board games, riding bikes, playing volleyball, doing hair, reading books, doing chores or playing chase there is always something going on around here. Even when the house is quiet for the night, there are plenty of bugs, thunder, and lightning to keep the action going.

My home is multi-everything.
            There are many cultures that the members of our home come from. Ages range from our youngest little girl at six to our older house helpers that are in their fifties. We speak multiple different languages and understand different worldviews, but through the power of Christ we come together in the confines of four walls and celebrate this multi-cultural, multigenerational, and multiethnic family.

My home is imperfect.
            We are all broken human beings working to live life together and honor the God who created us. There was a death that recently affected our home, so we grieve and struggle through the transition. Sometimes we don’t show each other love, we hurt each other’s feelings, or we disobey. Sometimes we struggle to understand cultural differences or to relate to each other in a healthy way. But we try. Everyday we try to embrace each other a little more, love a little more unconditionally, and honor others above ourselves. The walls in which we live are also imperfect. Sometimes our power goes out and without fans, the stifling heat takes over for the evening. And sometimes our water goes out and we make do with buckets outside for showers. But we embrace it because these walls are a safe and constant shelter in the midst of life.

My Home is Jesus Christ's.
            Jesus Christ is built into the very foundation of this home. From the heart and dream that created it, to the prayer and funds that built it, to the faithful hands that constructed it, to the many that now inhabit it, Jesus Christ has been a part of every step that has made this house a home. Not all our girls personally know Jesus Christ, but in this home, everyday they get to know a little more of His presence and His love through living in safety and security and experiencing the love of Christ through those care for this home and this family."
