Looking Back

I have been looking back and have realized that I have been going to this particular home of young women, every week, for a year and a half now.  I have had the opportunity to speak into the lives of 13 young ladies and 19 young ones during this time.  It is amazing how fast time goes by.  In a year and a half there have been 32+ kids come thru this one house.  Some stay a few years until the age out, some are there for just a few weeks, some get transferred to other group homes for one reason or another.
These 13 young ladies, with their babies, have left an impression in my heart. Some I have maintained communication with as they have aged out of the system.  Some I can not find or do not have a way to communicate with.  They all have their stories and all are unique and special.  I can't wait to hear about the great things they do.
I hear from the staff at the house that the girls look forward to my coming.  They get their chores done so they can participate in whatever we do that night.  It doesn't matter what we do, color, play games, exercise, paint, create, talk, watch a movie, swim, carve pumpkins, decorate for the holidays, and the list goes on.  They just know I care enough to come and so they look forward to it.

What difference can you make?  What do you have to offer? Let me know I would love to hear.
