Hello Amber! Amber is one of the ladies living at our Transitional House. She is the newest of our residents and was in the process of looking for a job. She has had some years of cleaning with a professional service. This just seemed like great timing. So she will be training with Kay for a couple of weeks and will then be on a “trial run” for a few weeks. We think she will work out great and look forward to having her around.
I will tell you the truth, the Transition House is running about as smooth and as well as I could image. Among the biggest problems we have is taking care of little things like leaks and broken pull strings. If anyone would like to volunteer for a few hours work, we could really use the help. Most of the items are relatively small like that. A breaker trips and now two outlets do not work; a doorbell that does not work; a leak from the upstairs bathroom. Any handymen out there that would like to take on one or more of these projects? Give us a call at the office 762-0244.
It is hard to believe that two of our residents are at the one year mark. One has already been through our Celebrate Recovery leadership training!
Now here is a prayer request for you. Two of our ladies are looking now to “transition” to their next place of residence. Tonya is looking for her own place to rent. It must be at least two bedrooms since she has the twins. If it is three bedrooms, it would give her the option of a roommate to help with expenses. If you would like to help her in this next transition, please let us know. She is employed and has a great future ahead of her.
The second lady looking to transition is Emily. Emily works two jobs and has been very faithful in attending JIBC. She is ready for her next move. If I had my wish come true for her this is what it would be: a mature Christian woman looking to help mentor someone for the next 3 to 6 months. I would love to see one of our senior adults offer a room to Emily. She is able to pay rent on time and is an excellent house cleaner. It could be a senior adult lady or a couple that needs a little extra income, needed help cleaning or just wants to help a young person succeed. You would be helping Emily and providing her next step in transitioning and on her spiritual journey. I really hope one of our church members will be able to help both of these ladies.
Remember, is some way, we are all transitioning. This earth is not our home, we are just passing through!
See you Sunday, good Lord willing!
Pastor Tom
