Saturday at Ashley House

We are at the Ashley Sisters House this Saturday from 10AM-6PM to start the work on  their home. I am so excited that we get to spend some amazing time together while making a huge difference in the lives of these sisters. Jacob Shidler and I went by to their house tonight to get some estimates on paint and supplies and ran into some of the family who told us they were excited we will be there Saturday, and that they are planning on joining in with us too!!! How cool. We will have some time to just love on this family while pounding out some major work.

We will be breaking into 3 Work Crews for the day: (1) Paint Crew, (2) Scrape and Stain Crew, (3) Landscaping Crew. We will also be dividing the day into 2 halves of work. I would love for you to jump in for the whole day but even half a day will make a difference. We will also be eating lunch together around 12:30. It would be great to have as many of us there for lunch as possible.

Make sure you Sign Up if you plan on coming.

We will need supplies for the day, and the more you have (or can bring) the less we have to buy. All of the needed supplies are listed on the sign up form where you can pick what you are able to bring. Everyone should bring Gloves and a Scraper if possible.

See you there!
Josh

BIG GOD. BIG NEWS.

Wow. The past few months have been a blur and the past two weeks… where did they go? So much has happened and I am excited to share with you what has been going on. But first a little back story…

When we were in Pittsburgh looking to move back to Ohio and plant a church, we were in need of a place to meet and begin gathering people together once a month just to begin the conversation. We knew it would be awhile before we could fully move back to Ohio, but we wanted and sensed God already moving in the lives of our friends and family. But how do you rent a building in Cincinnati when you live in Pittsburgh and have zero dollars? In a way only God works we ended up in the living room of a pastor IN PITTSBURGH whose best friend runs one of the buildings we thought it would be awesome to rent IN OHIO. He calls him up from the living room that night and secures the building for us rent free for six months! Coincidence? Nope. There are no coincidences. Only a BIG God with BIG plans.

speaking of reverse…

I just came across this website today and thought it was a beautiful example of a life lived in reverse. Jess Lin has created a company, Hello Rewind, that meets a consumer need while giving others a chance to participate in the restoration of women rescued from the sex-slave trade. Not only can you get a sweeeeet custom designed laptop sleeve with a personal touch (i’m thinking about a vintage transformers tee) , you help restore life to women re:finding who they were created to be with each purchase.

• Check out Jess Lin’s blog post about the start of Hello Rewind.
• Hello Rewind supports the mission of Restore NYC.

don’t limit your imagination

Sometimes we are so trapped by our perspective we fail to use our God-given imagination to dream up a possibility outside of our current circumstances. But along comes someone with a prophetic voice that says something in just the right way, or maybe the shower water hits our front temporal lobe in just the right way to create a moment. One of those times when you are like, “Of course. I can’t believe I never saw that before.” It’s the moment the Newtonian apple finally hits our head.
