A British/American Family?

Rebecca's Ramblings:
Although long overdue I felt it was time that I contribute to the blog now that we finally after 6 weeks have internet in our own home! This community living idea brings an interesting concept to my mind. Just as you cannot choose your own family neither could we choose the people we would be meshed with this year. It is really an intereting concept when you think about it, put 4 people together in a house, expect them to get along, have Christian community, and learn to love each other. What could be a potential "disaster" in the world's sense, has been a huge blessing! Above you will see a little picture of our family, Earl, Rebecca, Jazz on the left, and Rachel on the right! Earl and I are sometimes referred to as dad and mum but always in a lighthearted, loving way! We have truly bonded and are enjoying our home at 21 Sycamore Rd. Jazz brings so much with her curry making ability and morning concerts from 7:45 a.m. until 8:15 a.m. as she gets ready in the morning. Rachel adds her touch with her fixation on British tea and her new demand to watch more of our Seinfeld dvds. We are blessed here knowing that our home is a place to relax and hash out all God is doing in each one of us, pray together on a regular basis, laugh until our sides hurt, and also be a place where we gather others into our home. The other photo above is from a movie night we had at our house where we had 32 people in our living area. One of the students loves to come to our house for what he calls some "Sycamore loving"! We hope that element continues all year. And finally...a quote I have been working on all year:
I am turning into a tea drinking, biscuit eating, trouser wearing, tin opening, rubbish throwing, stone dropping, mick loving, post sending, box ticking, lorrie dodging, boot storing, garden mowing, queen loving, mobile using, Brit and I'm loving every minute of it!
