Spring is finally here

Spring is finally here and in the Seattle area we’ve been blessed with a beautiful array of spring flowers and trees bursting with pink and white blossoms. I love this time of year that starts with the Easter celebration and is followed by the flowers. I always find inspiration when I see the winter’s barren ground and trees spring forward with life in all its beauty. I always sense an opportunity for a fresh start and renewed desire to be all that God designed me to be and look for how to make it happen.

There are lots of opportunities to do a small part but make a big impact in the lives of our residents here at the Discovery House. Service/project days are scheduled for the 2nd and 4th Saturdays from now through the fall. What has God placed in your hands to resource change?

We’ve had a lot of volunteers the last two Saturdays - Small groups from University Presbyterian Church in Seattle and Westminster Chapel. They accomplished lawn mowing, raking, weed eating, weeding the flower beds, planting flowers in the many pots and hanging baskets, sprucing up the paint on the interior trim, shampooing carpets, packing up a vacated room, cleaning and organizing the refrigerator and freezer.

Enjoy the photos and come join our fun. Service days on the 2nd and4th Saturdays each month.


Interested in sponsoring a child, family or room at the Discovery House? I would love to come to your small group or office to give a power point presentation and share our vision and our program to help you put together a service program for you personally or your group.

Side Note: I am looking for a tenant for my four bedroom/2.5 bath home in Kirkland starting June 1st. $1600/mo + $1,000 deposit. One year lease. Please call me with anyone interested at my cell phone(425.890.2395).

Bless you for partnering with me in this call on our lives to serve others less fortunate.
