hey family in blog land. it's been too long my friends! i THINK i might finally have some time to dedicate here. things are still just as busy as ever... but i think something i've been realizing lately is that the hamline house has a story to tell. and people need to hear about it. last weekend we took a trip to YWAM in Weyerhaeuser WI to share about intentional community. it was pretty cool because it was the first time we've ever had a platform like that to tell our story. and it seemed to impact everyone who heard it... maybe not in a shocking visible way... but i believe that our story pushes people towards community... towards sharing & simplicity... and my hope is that our story would push people towards the heart of Jesus.
there are a lot of things that have happened since i last updated you all... some of you may know already, but about 2 months ago jamal moved out of the house. there are plenty of reasons why we arrived at this decision together, but the important thing is that our relationships were not damaged. this was the best thing for jamal, and for the others in the house.
on a happier note, this month we are preparing for two new additions to the house... greg & zach. greg is our friend from resonate who we've had several conversations with about moving in and what that would mean & look like and we all have agreed that the next step is for him to come try out a month & practice living with us. zach is our other friend who we actually haven't even met yet! ha... he's going to stay with us over thanksgiving weekend and we'll spend some time with him going over our house values & way of life... if that all goes well, we'll have a full house by january! we are all very excited to see what God does!
more updates to come soon!
