Tap Tap House

There's so much to say, and so little time to gather all my thoughts :)
We've been having a great summer. Mid July we took our family vacation where we rent a cottage and relax for the week. The best part of going on vacation was that the friday before we left we found out we bought a house! and we also found a renter for our current house!! Yea---all these pieces are falling into place!! We had been up in the air for a long time about moving, it really was a hard decision. It's not that we needed more room, but yet when we thought about life and what we wanted for our family 'goals', we knew we weren't in the right place. Anyways----we could go and feel like it was done and enjoy the vacation!!
So I was listening to someone talk about Haiti and of course something that gets mentioned are the Tap Taps. They are "buses" that pick up people and bring them to the market or where ever they are going. They are always filled with people, basically if there is a place to hold onto and a place for a foot--you got yourself a ride. I liked what this person said. Tap Taps can be known for "there is always room for one more". I like that analogy and I thought I really want to make our house a Tap Tap house. A place where there is 'always room for one more'. I don't know what that looks like yet. I don't really have specific plans, but that's the exciting part. I think God can use it when we open it up to him. My mind thinks about hosting exchange students or doing foster care. Maybe another adoption or refugee. Who knows.
So this week I'm packing and cleaning---sounds fun, right?!
