Hey sorry for not posting for the last couple days. Have not been able to, but I'm back with a flare request. (A flare request is a much cooler term for what has commonly been referred to as a prayer request...)
When you buy a house, there are a lot of things you are unprepared for. How much it will cost, the added responsibility of fixing things that break, additional anxiety that fire or burglars or zombies will take over the house. One thing I was grossly unprepared to deal with is all of the yard-work we have to catch up on. Mowing, trimming our trees, and the mountain of leaves being distributed on a daily basis all over our yard. There is no grass...there are only and forever leaves. It is a (in no way) scientific fact that leaves, upon falling on your yard, reproduce exponentially. (I also took math in school)
With great leaf, comes great opportunity.
Today our Hopesprings crew in Sioux City is going to head out into our community to make that fall avalanche a bit more manageable for folks. We are going to grab our rakes, knock on a few doors, and see if we can't serve some folks with a case of the how-in-the-world-will-we-ever-deal-with-these-leaves blues.
This is our first adventure into practically loving the people of Siouxland, and we are excited. And a bit scared. And praying for the people we come into contact with. We want to share the love of God in a really tangible way. Would you throw up some flares for us and for the people we will meet? Thanks!
