One thing about living in Florida versus "Da Bronx" is that I get alot more visitors. Having a home now, I love to have guests, share my space with others and hopefully have time to share our lives to encourage one another as we all seek to be the people God destined us to be.

This Sunday, I was blessed to have my WEPA close friend, Marcy Ramos visit us in our house church service with her husband, Dan. I missed that girl! I wanted to cry when she left. Our conversations are authentic, she can handle me when I am up and when I am down. I don’t have to worry about being "on" all the time with her. That is such a relief.

As church planter’s themselves, they "know" what we go through. The ups and downs of the calling and just trying to keep your head above water as bivocational ministers.

It was too short of a visit but hopefully next time they can stay with us. They took a 4 hour drive from Tampa (where Dan’s mom lives) to see us and we so appreciated it!

Keep them in your prayers as they planted a church right on Ave D in the Lower East Side of Manhattan (right across the street from my mom’s projects apt) and its a challenging area.
