A year ago, Jay and I were blessed with the opportunity to purchase a home . . . a big home . . . a home with 5 bedrooms! It is a little two big for our little family, but we love to fill up the extra rooms by having people come and stay with us. In the past month we have a had a lot of people make a temporary home here at Taylor Manor. Here is glimpse of their visits:
Allison Zandarski (the name just drips with . . . ) was on our India team. She has a passion for the people of India and soon (Lord willing) will be attending medical school in India. She drove from South Bend to stay with us for 24 hours, so we gave her a whirlwind tour of the Metro Detroit Area.
She also was on a Danial Fast (Fruits, veggies, whole grains only) for her visit. I love to feed people, so this provided an extra challange to the weekend.
One of most unexpected part of the day was when we accidentally found ourselves serving at Mack Avenue Community Church's Saturday morning corner store.
The other surprising part of the day was all of the people who were openly upset that we were not wearing green on St. Patty's Day. One lady in Detroit actually pinched Allison and yelled, "B#@!h, where's yo GREEN?!"
A couple off weekends later our friends Levi and Courtney came to visit from DC. (We went to visit them this same time of year last year). We did similar tour, but since they were here longer than Allison, we were able to take things a little slower.
A few weeks after that, we had 9 people from SpringHill stay at our house for the Chick-Fil-A Leadercast.
We feel blessed to be a blessing and thank God that we are able to provide a bed and food for the people God places in our lives.
P.S. This summer we are housing several people for several weeks: Bruce, our friend and Indian videopgrapher/photographer who is coming to work in the states for the summer, Danae, our friend and co-worker who is temporarily homeless, and April, a friend and (soon to be ex) co-worker and bride to be who will be crashing with us as needed until her wedding.
