Atlanta has brought refreshment, renewal, and rest to my spirit and body. Effects from the constant strain of living downtown Chicago weren’t fully evident to me until I was removed.
Now the warmth of the weather and people of the south blesses my heart and provides newfound energy.  I pray we will be as much of a blessing to this place as it has already been to us.

I have struggled with living in Chicago and fighting against harsh and sometimes dangerous conditions, freezing winters, and sirens throughout the night.  But I’m blessed to say that a lasting sense of home was created for me here about a year ago, when I met the friend that changed my life.  Since then a lot of amazing things have happened as our journey in loving the homeless as family has continued.
I wrote about the horrible tent fires that happened a few months ago.  These fires took from people who already had nothing, and I thought it couldn’t get worse than that.  But then several weeks ago an actual life was taken and it affected me personally.
