Home

Hi, welcome to HOME. You’ll be greeted by two dogs whom we love. A solid, grounded bulldog and a vibrant black Goldendoodle. This house is sometimes messy. Like thick messy. Hardly room to walk messy. It currently is. It’s such a good reminder of how much fun we had camping. Sometimes tho this house is tidy. I hope you don’t mind a few stray dog hairs on the floor or on a couch or two. And a bowl of water set in a corner.  Yes- we have children to. God graciously gave us two high spirited little girls. Just what we wanted. Along with those girls He gave a package of directions. Sometimes, on some matters, we can read a booklet and know just what to do. More often He whispers quiet lines while on the way to settle the fight. And sometimes He says “DO” and pray and ask Me to fill in the gaps. Anger frustration and selfishness also reside here, although they aren’t really supposed to. God is faithful in showing me the door to cast these out. Okay well that’s all for now. Thanks for coming over and seeing how we live. Also thanks for being my friend even though we don’t do everything the same. Sigh a prayer for me today that I can be okay with who we are an how we live here at 730 Corley road. Sometimes I think that the way you live must be better.!

14103 E Main St sounds alot like 730 Corley Rd...a few of the details differ, like there's cat hair instead of dog hair. But the need for prayer is most definitely the same! Thanks for sharing your heart with us!
