Answered Prayer!

I only have a few minutes to write, and I promise to add on to this post later tonight, but I had to share this incredible news with you! God is AMAZING!!

There is a family in our church that I, and many others, are extremely close to. It is a family of 6 kids (actually 8, but 2 are out of the house). This family has been through a lot over the last few months. Their father passed away suddenly a few months ago, and I am not sure any of them...least of all the mom...have recovered. In recent months the mom has gone into a deep depression, leaving the kids to fend for themselves in many ways. The kids have struggled in school, and often have chosen to not even go. The oldest of the kids just turned 18, while the youngest is 8. The 2 youngest, ages 11 and 8, are the only girls and have had a really hard time as they are so young.

Just last week things got worse when they were evicted from their house. The kids have been split up, staying with their 2 older sisters in different houses. This has made going to school even more difficult, and life has just been really hard for them. Just last night all the boys were at a prayer time at church crying out to God for a house.

Well, today God answered their cries. THEY GOT A HOUSE!!!! Its absolutely a miracle of God that this house is available to them, but that's what God does! Some members of our staff have been working with the family and the kids are all back in school and going regularly. When they went to apply for the house, the man told them that every red flag that he could possibly look for was coming up and that there really was no reason for him to let them move in...but he just felt like he couldn't say no. So, he is renting them the house!!!

This house is bigger than their old one, with more bedrooms and a finished basement. Their old house had 4 teenage boys sharing one small room, but not anymore!! It looks like they may even be able to move in this weekend! PRAISE GOD!!

We are working on getting beds and furniture for them (which I can actually help out a lot with considering all the extra furniture I got when Dario, Luis, Bonita and Linda moved in) and its all coming together so much better than we could have ever dreamed. (Which again is just who God is!). I am in awe of how much He loves this family and is taking care of them. Each one of the kids in incredible and I can't wait to see the look on their faces when they hear the incredible news!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!
