This is our last Sunday in Tucson for awhile. This chapter in our life has come to a close. It has been an amazing adventure the past year. We put our original plans of medical missions on hold for about a year because Jason and I felt really called to go and serve children hurting in the US due to abuse and neglect. We spent the first six months in South Texas working at a Childrens home helping to start a mother baby program. We were blessed to become instant parents to a one year old boy, a one year old girl, a two year old girl, a newborn, a 15 year old girl, a 17 year old girl, and a 18 year old girl. We had a rollercoaster of ups and downs in our home as we tried to become a family with these severely hurting and broken kids as well and with the ministry. We were disheartened to find out that the director was leaving only one month after coming on board. We really had to seek GOD and depend on HIM. We went through an investigation, which ended in our favor. We lost several friends in our short time. But we were there for a SEASON and FOR a REASON. We still have connections with our girls. We left, sad and feeling a little defeated. But we did not feel like our time serving these kids was over, so we moved over to another ministry that serves kids in the CPS system, that is how we ended in Tucson.
