I pray daily for those who are still looking for jobs.<\/p>\n<p>David&#8217;s client volume is a bit sluggish, yet God continues to put food in the fridge and allow us to open our doors to all the kids that come through.\u00a0It&#8217;s a miracle to think back over each week and count the number of kids that have slept here. It&#8217;s a unique situation, but somehow it works. I am blessed to be a part of this <em>open door<\/em> ministry&#8230; which sometimes feels more like <em>open pantry<\/em>! Haha<\/p>\n<p>I love these souls that traipse through our home. My prayer journal is filled with their names. Several have allowed me to &#8220;friend&#8221; them on FaceBook or I&#8217;ve even been given thumbs-up to send an occasional text of encouragement.<\/p>\n<p>God is creative. Curious how He works. It&#8217;s never quite what I expect or anticipate. Usually I don&#8217;t even see it happening until I stop and look back. Then it&#8217;s like,&#8221;<em>Oh, look what He did&#8221;<\/em> or &#8220;<em>now I get what that was about.&#8221;<\/em> I just love being along for the ride!
