new friends means new places to visit.
When I walked into my new friends Blake and Promise's home for the 1st time last week,
I couldn't even carry on a conversation with the hosts because I couldn't stop looking around and staring at the visual buffet surrounding me.
Their home was the wildest I've ever been in,
and I like wild.
Trees on the walls? check.
Musical programs turned into wallpaper? check.
Musical instruments hanging on the wall? check.
Lots & lots of coffee mugs? check.
Ceramic rooster collection? check.
Fridge covered in comics with wallpaper paste? check.
Kitchen utensils hanging all over a lime green wall? check.
Well-trained, well-behaved boxer? check.
Awesome food? check.
Not only is this family creative and ok with embracing the eccentric, but being inside their home for less than a minute will allow you to feel some genuine love.
When they were in their early 20's, and newly married, they took guardianship over a teenage girl and her younger brother.
Now, almost 10 years later, they're all a big happy family of 4.
They serve Jesus, paint their walls bright colors,
and laugh a lot.
I hope you get to meet them someday.
