So much has been going on in Newport that I don't quite know where to begin. I guess the most dramatic thing that has happened thus far is that we have guests. Yes, guests in our home in the church! About a month ago, a young couple stopped by because they needed some gas money to get to a nearby town to look at and hopefully get a home. They had been on the streets for weeks and were excited to finally get a breakthrough; but they were out of money. My husband, who is probably the most tenderhearted man I know, of course forked up $30 (which we don't normally have - sometimes God blesses you so that you may bless others) and told them to call him when they got back in town.
We went and bought an air mattress and set up my Sunday school classroom (it has it's own bathroom; and the young lady is pregnant) as a temporary home for them.
Well, to make a long story somewhat short (especially because my husband is waiting for me!); they didn't get the house...so a temporary two night stay has turned into a month. AND, they already had two children that were staying with a friend. So now our home has four adults and three little children running around in it! What a change!!! I'll fill you in with more details later. Until then, PLEASE pray for us!!!!!
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.” - Titus 2:4,5
