new rooms new era

hi folks
I know that i have not been posting too often somefing to do with life being busy ... wel plinly crazy if i am honest.
Well It is All change for us as a family (me and my 2 children) and for us as a house family Those of us who live in at promise house) There has been lots of business going on for weeks with one family along with help preparing the top floor of the house so that they could move up there freeing their rooms for us to move into and for a single sister to move in. Well this all happeed finally ove rhte weekend... (up untill that point myself and my daughter had been in one room on the ground floor and my son had been in a room the other end or the house on the top floor( (quite manic when i over slept in the mornings)
Any way we are now in our family rooms that is a large room with a bit extra for my self and my daughter and a room for my son adn a bathroom . it is great so we are busy making it home...(only not too homely or we will not want to be in the rest of the house which defeats the need for community)
So have we moved in well almost we are now at promise 6 nights a week and we have 1 night a week at our place 9 i ahve to admit that i find it hard i want to be here all the time but if it was not tought it would not mean any thing
litle things have been said and happened that make me feel like we belong of late like one of the leaders refurring to my car as a community.
I was not too sure of the impact this journey would ahve on the children moving from having their own home tv and all that the world has to offer to sharing a home with other familys/singles I would be nieve if i was not concerned esp my daughter i really did not think that she would cope, but there was and is so much grace I think that since we moved in in july the children have only once or twice complained they are bored which was a phrase that cropped up all the time in the past it is clear that t.v and internet and all that they had in the world does not square up in any way to the kingdom life that is full busy and colourful.
My son went to a friends sleep over on friday night and when i picked him up he was with drawn and quite i was so worried i thought ...... well i will not tell you what i thought.. any way it was over 30 minute car drive back to promise so we were able to chat coming home and it became clear that the issue was he missed being at home at promise he could not cope with not having his family and with in a few short mins of being home he had gone round hugging the folks that matter and he was back to his noisy chatty self
as for my daughter she is unrecognisable as the girl that moved in with me in july she is growing into a young woman who loves God and see her life very much a work of grace
all i can say is if you have not yet taken a risk and asked God into your life do it life will never be the same again
all this world has to offer can't campare to the joy that we have and are finding in living all out for jesus
God is a genius and community rocks
I have lived my life many other ways and would i go back there never i would not have it any other way
