Our Casa Is Your Casa

This last month has been crazy full with people staying at our house and visiting us. So much joy, dependency on Him, and fun for our kids and us! Not to mention a lot of the students are returning back to IV, as the UCSB school year starts next month...praise God!

Living with about 25 people for 2 1/2 years (05-07) radically changes your mindset and your capacity for people visiting and staying at your home...in the best possible way! Holly and I view our home as a gift from God, as we want to do with everything that has been given to us. It's actually one of the easiest places in my life to see God's faithfulness, as the story in how we were able to move into this home from timing, price, and location was more than we could ever ask or imagine!

We love our home and are glad it can serve as a blessing to our family, students in IV, IV Church, and people that visit from out of town. I always say there are only 2 ways to live: open-handed or white-knuckled. The blessing is always in living open-handed and surrendered to God and His purposes in the earth.

"Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow." (Js 1:17)

We love this family!
