Apartments, Cars, Hearts

This blog was going to be about how we trust each other with everything. It was going to talk about how everything, including cars, is happily handed over to the next person. But it has been a while since I've written and a lot has happened. Not to say that it isnt still the case, that as a Family we give over everything, dying to self for our brother. Because its even greater now.

We encountered a visitor over the past week. A girl has been staying with us (the girls) since Sunday because she got kicked out of her apartment. She's different, describing herself as a Wiccan and a stubborn ox. She made herself 'at home' very quickly. Its been really hard. We all joke and say with a yawn "Its emotionally draining in here..."

Family, this is a battle. Because we know its obedience but at the same time we feel like we want to wash our hands of this. God brought us this girl to teach us something. We are still trying to figure that out. If its patience, we're going to have lots of it. If its to be able to show love to non-believers, we'll be able to. If its for our own shortcomings to be revealed then, God show us! This is so hard, but God is so good!
