What Would Jesus Do?

I wrote the lightning story yesterday and now I will continue with it to bring you to some recent events in my life, where I have asked myself, "What would Jesus do?" It's not all about me, it's about Him!, it's about loving Him first and loving one another!

After the fire, we moved into a friends home for awhile. It was vacant, but fully furnished. We stayed there a few months when our supervisor asked if we would like to take over the payments on his home. His son had severe allergies and they could no longer live in the country, they needed to move into town.

We did decide to purchase this home and moved in shortly thereafter. On the day we moved in, we held hands in the living room and thanked God for our new home and then we told the Lord, we now give it back to you. We proceeded to tell him if he ever sent anyone to live with us the door would be open, because the house and everything in it belonged to Him.

Which brings me to last week. I have two boys who have asked if they could move in with us. One of them cried and told me his parents are on drugs and if he goes home, he knows he will end up back in the same lifestyle. He has been attending church with us every week and loves the church. Each week he amazes me at how he will go right up where the youth are and sit with them in the front of the church. He has been very open with everyone and with the youth leaders about his past and they have been writing to him at the Ranch.

Next we have Larry, the boy I told you about in the previous post. He went to Gulf Coast Trades and visited, but came back disappointed. They won't take him because he takes meds for depression. He asked me last week what he should do, they have told him at the Ranch he has to go to an orphanage or to the military. He said, "Dana, do you think I could come to live with you and Chuck? If I can't it's okay, but can you advise me on where I should go." He then told me he didn't know where his parents were and had not heard from them. No wonder this kid takes meds for depression!!!!

Anyways.... here I am today praying and asking God to show us what to do. I know they both belong to the Lord, they love the church we go to, they both always sit up front with the youth. The youth leaders have given them their phone numbers and are writing to them. I have taught both of them to play the guitar and they are both very good at it. So right now I ask myself, "what would Jesus do?" So I may have four boys living with us at the end of April. God has it all worked out. Again I am just trusting and leaving the details to Him.
