Everything happens for a reason

Sue Folger (r), Team Leader

Our team has realized through our experiences with LAMP that everything happens for a reason. This year, we had problems securing a place to stay. There happened to be a family in town for a funeral that also needed housing, so they were given the place we were to use. Afterwards, we realized that we were better able to connect with a community member who let us use his home. We hope to continue to communicate with him over the winter and build that relationship. In addition, we were able to help the grieving family by cleaning the house for them after they left.

We find that these encounters happen the entire time we are in our community. We need to realize that God is directing us all the time and watch to see what He is doing as He makes us aware of the opportunities put before us. Many times the reaction we have to the barriers we face is our witness.
