…e out, one day. I want them to be able to come back home and know that our home is a refuge! A refuge that is safe. A refuge that is homey. A refuge that is peaceful. A refuge that they could leave dirty dishes and it would cause me to smile because we had food to eat. A refuge they can feel safe doing what they want to do in it without pressure from me.

Our Amish Story
…stayed and were ministered to for over three hours. We got to go into his home and meet his family. It was surreal. Our dog even fell in love with this family. They also had tons of chickens.

I had the last piece for breakfast! In our house, right before a pa…
