We say Amen and our goodnight prayer is over for the night.
We look around at each other and unspokenly agree that we aren't ready for the night to end.
As David heads off into the kitchen to conjure up a batch of sweet potato fries, Dionte reclines on the couch making a phone call, and Rachelle, Michael, Madison and I sit around the living room laughing and having easy conversation over the food network.
Life lessons are being taught.
Dionte and I share a joke across the room, he is having a self-proclaimed "moment" watching his favorite family show - The Fresh Prince of BelAir - with his new family. (awwwwww)
Community is at its best here.
Cups of coffee are offered and we are all high on the spirit, laughing and loving so easily this family that God brought together just 5 days ago.
This is not normal.
Tonight was not normal.
This UrbanLife family - is not normal.
We are part of a move of God through our city. And I am so grateful to be a part of this ministry that I could have never fathomed to have even asked for.
We've certainly had a day today.
The entire house erupts in "you are, my fireeeeeee, my one desireeeeee...tell me whyyyyy ain't nothing but a heart ache" and who knew that 6 strangers could come together and mesh like siblings so easily and so quickly.
