my friends, the cherry family, are working to refurbish a very old house. they call it gomer's house and it's already being used to minister to the community as well as anyone around who needs a safe, encouraging, restful place. you can read more about the cherry family and their adventures here. stephanie decided to start selling some paintings for $20 each to raise money for gomer's house. you can custom order them to be whatever color and say whatever text you like. the one above is judah's. i really dig the lion. judah is a lion of a kid. see, i had this idea. each of our children's names mean something. gabriel:strong man of God, judah: praise, elijah: the Lord is my salvation, asher: blessed/happy. we prayed these things over our boys.-- that they would be strong men of God who praise Him, recognize that true and lasting salvation only come from Him, and know they are blessed to be one of His children. so why not order a painting for each child that uses a verse that reflects what their name means? i gotta say...i LOVE the paintings with all my heart. they are exactly what i wanted.

the painting below is mine. my friend ordered it for me for Christmas. don't you love it? i love the idea of scripture hanging all over my home. and i love helping to support my friends in their ministry! so go ahead, look at her website, and order a painting if you like! i think she's sold about 700 in 6 weeks. yep. she's a pretty big deal. get one before she gets famous and they start costing thousands of dollars ;)

gomer's house


so this weekend we went to visit our friends, stephanie and denbigh. this is their house. it's called gomer's house.
their story is amazing and you should read more about it on their blog listed below.

they bought this house and are slowly restoring it with plans to serve God however He calls them to. they have already seen God do amazing things and bring people into their path that needed help.

we had a great time with them during our visit and can't wait to see how God moves. they have a beautiful family, but even more beautiful is how they serve God wholeheartedly.

please check out their website: gomer's house
and check out stephanie's blog as well

my next post will be answering alena's question about fostering/adopting older children. i'm excited to answer my first feedback question! thanks alena!
