The Wall
Thinking outloud about walls. In the Bible, Joshua and the people of Israel wanted the walls of Jericho to fall down. Nehemiah wanted the people of Israel to build a wall. So thinking about walls, I concluded that I might find a matching experience in my own life. So, in Costa Rica I found myself helping a small church build a wall. I had the most humble job of carrying the blocks and placing them on the rebar poles.
A few weeks ago, it was time for the wall in our living room to come down and make a great room for our great family that's growing and create a space for Bible study meetings.
Sometimes the things that happen to us help teach us or reveal deeper truths. So this wall has a very special story. Most know it was built to create a bedroom, a special place for Bryant so he didn't have to share a room with his siblings. The wall served its purpose and gave Bryant a place of his own. However, this wall is no longer needed.
As I began to knock the wall down, I began to wonder if in my heart I have any walls that need to be torn out.
I'm sure you might be with me on this one. Sometimes there is a mess in our heart that needs to go so we can make room for what God might want to place there. If you have a story to share, send it to me and I will add it here.

The Door
Lots of chaos goes on behind this door because we have a little girl who is almost 1 YEAR old. Hard to believe it's been that long already; it feels like we just brought her home from the hospital yesterday! Sianna loves to see how gravity works by pulling DVDs and books off the shelves, and she's fascinated with Ziploc bags (she's redecorated our kitchen floor many times with them and boy are they slippery!) and toilet paper. She's also experimented with being a kitty; she has drunk out of the cats' water fountain and nearly tasted kitty kibble before mommy could stop her (daddy just stands there laughing and wondering where the camera is so he can get a picture or video of it).
Rachel and Bryant (Fallbrook)
Behind our door is a huge mess, but its created by good times with friends and family, and being overly tired from a baby that doesn't always sleep.
Dace and Charis (Cypress)

| Behind this door, there is much to behold A love so precious, more valuable than gold. So many possibilities we have yet to see, behind this door, may come the first "mini me"! A place to create good times with friends & family, this couple shares their coffee with creamer happily. This door will most likely not be the last, but one of many holding cherished memories from the past. |
The First Door
This is the door that the Krause family has entered and exited for 22 years. 3 children grew up behind this door and now bring families back through this door. Behind this door are 2 people who love each other and enjoy welcoming others inside! Oh the stoires this door could tell.......
