who we are - what we love

Three years ago I moved into this enormous stucco house in South Minneapolis with 4 other people. Roommates have moved on, and new friends have moved in, but this house is consistantly one of the best things in my life.

Noel, Emily, Bethany, Wanda and Katie. That's our house now. We pray for each other, feed each other, watch out for each other. It's a healthy, holy, happy place to live.

I'm not the great author of our house, but I love reading blogs and want to put our life out there too.

I read the quote "We cannot help conforming ourselves to what we love."by Francis de Sales on the Sojourners blog today and loved it. Our hope is that we will fall more in love with Jesus and that we will be known for doing justice, loving mercy, walking humbly, welcoming friends and strangers, taking care of people and the earth, being present, listening, honoring God with our bodies, throwing great parties, resting well, working hard, and connecting with the father. That's our love, that's our hope, that's our spirituality.
