Yes it's true, I forgot to snap photos of our Neighborhood party! I have had quite a few of you asking me how it went! I wanted to thank you all who remembered to pray for our time! It was a huge blessing!
The party went super awesome! We didn't have as big of a turn out as we had expected, but the neighbors who showed up, were totally God ordained! I was able to really connect with the other women who lived near me, which I was so excited about. One of the coolest parts was how Ben was able to connect with some boys (ages 8-17) who don't have father figures in their lives! They thought Ben was the coolest thing, and now BEG to come hang out with him daily...lol. Ben is so excited to take that place of a Godly and manly influence in their lives! One of my neighbors in particular, is a single mom of an 8 year old, and the Lord really seemed to open a door for a relationship between her and I. My desire was to start REAL friendships...not just the "hey I know your name, so when you are outside I can flash a fake smile and say hi.." I wanted depth! And I was so floored to watch that get planted the other night! I could really tell that each one of them felt relaxed and comfortable while they were over. We had a great time getting to know each other and sharing silly stories. What floored me the most (in a good way) was when we had some of our friends over the next day, and we were sitting out by our fire, and up walks our neighbor with her son! I was sososo excited and blessed that she knew she was welcomed in our home! She sat down and joined us by the fire and we talked and cooked smores! I want my word to be taken seriously, so when I say "come over anytime" they know I mean it!! So that is why it truly blessed me! I am so excited to see what God has in store for our neighborhood!! God is so good!
