Tomorrow, the official start date of 2409 community house.
most think we are crazy, but i have always enjoyed when folks think the thing i am doing are "crazy". It helps reassure me that my life is not the norm.
Tomorrow this 4 bedroom home will be filled with six adults one infant and two dogs. It will also be filled with ideas, inspiration and hopefully an abundance of compassion.
I have always wanted to live in a community home. To be able to live with others focused on encouraging each other to live beyond themselves. To be able to downsize my own belonging and learn to share. I know this wont be easy, it might even be a little frustrating at times. Yet i believe this is the life God has called me to live. to look beyond myself, my selfish desires and for once focus on my "family". I am excited to experience growth. I am excited to learn more about my house family and share in life's joys, its sorrows and the moments of unbelief.
I will keep you all posted on this adventure. Here are a few snapshot of the family.
