OPEN INVITATION

Matthew 5:46
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
John 13:34
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

The past few days have been heavy on our hearts. God is bringing things to our attention that fills us with anger. Families with children with AID’s, being asked to leave churches. A young man with tattoo’s that is not made to feel welcome. We know we can get angry, we are not to sin (Eph 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:). How best to take this energy and put it to use for the Glory of God?

If you have read the bios that we have posted you know something about us. Yes we are older woman, but not that old. We have experienced a lot in life. One thing we do not do is judge people. Color is not an issue with us, in fact we have never mentioned our own races, nor do we think it is important. Your past and all it includes doesn’t matter to us.

What we care about is walking with someone as they learn about the Lord. The questions that come up in day to day living, the problems that arise as we all mature and grow in the Lord.

We both feel at this time, because of the things that are being brought to our attention that this letter is needed. It might be just one person, but we feel it is more. Everyone needs family. The body of Christ is suppose to be family. What we are doing is saying here we are. We want to be your family. Do not misunderstand us we all need personal fellowship with others in the form of a home church. We also are seeing that is not always available to everyone.

We are inviting you to be a part of our family. What exactly does that mean, just who are we willing to accept? Any and everyone. We do not care where you came from; we are concerned where you are going. Your age, race, and length of hair do not concern us. We do not care how many tattoos’ you have got, or body piercing. If you are seeking to learn about God, if you have asked God into your life, but need someone who will love you no matter what—you have come to the right place.

Why you might ask are we willing to open ourselves up for others when we don’t know whom we are inviting into our lives? Jesus did it for us. When we were out there in the world doing our thing, He loved us. When we asked Him into our life’s and still made mistakes, He loved us. He loved us then and He loves us now. He took us as we were. He gave us a new life. His love for us has never changed. Even now we make mistakes, and you know what He is right there. (Deu 31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he [it is] that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.) before we were born He knew us in the womb (Gal 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,). His love never changes (Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever).

LJG only recently held my hand when I was going through something. It meant so much to know that someone, though over a thousand miles away, was with me holding my hand. Counseling me, mentoring me, and just plain loving me, even I might add, when I didn’t want to receive what I knew she was telling me, that was right. That is what real family is.

We are talking about family that stays together. We will pray for you. We will be there when you are strong and we will stand beside you when you fall. We will be waiting when you need to reach for someone. We will stand silently by when you don’t want to talk. We will listen when you are ready to talk. We will not judge you. We will love you as Christ has taught us to love.

Contact us at this site, or if you know someone who needs someone then send us their address, we will write to them. We are here for you.

God Bless,
