When I tell these people that I absolutely LOVE living with 11 girls, I don't tell them that when I come home from a very long day, they are there waiting to talk about it.
When all I want to do is cry, they sit next to me.
When some of us haven't eaten dinner, we make sure everyone goes to bed full.
When we wake up at the same time, we have breakfast together.
When we have victories, we celebrate them better than anyone I know.
When we have failures, we think of ways to work through them.
There are there when I want to share my heart and they are there when I just want to sit in silence.
They are there to push me and encourage me and love me no matter what.
They are there to have "best night ever," every single night.
They are there to pray for me and show me how much Jesus loves me.

My family grew by 11 people the day I moved into this house. My heart grows 11 times bigger the days that I get to sit and learn more about each of them.
Living with 11 girls doesn't make me crazy, it shows me a love that can only be brought through a house as crazy as this. A house full of misfits that come from different places, are in different places, but still feel loved in the same place.

Narnia girls, you have showed me more love and friendship than I could ever imagine. I feel blessed to love with each one of you. I pray that we are women that radiate Jesus is every thing that we do, in and outside of the house. I pray that we choose to fall flat on our faces for Jesus in every single moment without the fear that it will hurt, without the fear that nobody will be there to pick us up, and without the fear that we don't know where we will go next because we know that He takes away all of our pain and suffering, He will be there for us even when we feel alone, and He has planned out our next steps in the most intentional way possible. I pray that we are able to come along side of eachother to celebrate one another, to cry with one another, and to love one another just as Jesus loves all of us. I pray that no matter what comes in our way, that we are able to stand in front of it with full comfort and knowledge that He is with us and He is faithful. I pray that we are able to invite our community and friends into our home with open arms and that our home will be a safe place for anyone to come into. Lastly, I pray that we continue to grow in our faith, friendships, families, and love for eachother each day & to remind eachother that all things are great and joyful in the Kingdom of God.

When I tell people that I live with 11 girls, I tell them that they are the people who draw me closer to Jesus every single time that I wake up and remind me of how worthy I am every single time I go to sleep.
