When Mandy and I started on this Restoration House journey back in August of 2005 we knew it wouldn’t be easy. I have asked myself over and over again why does this feel so hard. It is during those times of questioning that God reminds me why we are in this to begin with. He desires for single mothers and their children to be restored back to all the goodness God intended from the beginning. God actually desires this for everyone but He has called us to specifically care for this often overlooked group of families. What Mandy and I have been experiencing to a large degree is sacrifice but our sacrifice is nothing compared to the sacrifice single mothers have to make every day on behalf of their family. These women often struggle to make ends meet, to provide for their children’s future, and for having the time to care for their children the way they truly desire. If we can encourage these families toward the wholeness and restoration God can bring through supporting them with love and resources then all of our sacrifice is worth it.
