The "House Of Transformation", A.K.A. the H.O.T. House, is a house for young women who are desiring to take steps toward a more healthy lifestyle. Some of them have come from living on the streets, others have come from very challenging relational situations, and most have had a very difficult family life. Over the last year or so I've come to LOVE THESE WOMEN LIKE CRAZY!!!! I've spent time just hanging out, talking, listening and sharing life together. This weekend we had a sweet time downtown at the starlight parade!Please pray for these women, ultimately that they would come to walk closely with Jesus, TRUST Him, experience His DEEP love for them, and come to know how much healing and VICTORY He has for them! Their past journeys and the ones ahead are often full of challenges, but thank God that He is able to do more than we can ask or imagine according to His power at work within us!
Something else that's pretty great....God has provided a part time paid position for me at the house, which means I get to spend more time doing what I love...loving people...and since I get paid, I won't have spend quite as much time at my other job! I'm excited for the weeks and months ahead, to see what God has in store. I'm especially looking forward to starting a Bible read through/study with the women, and possibly whoever wants to come from the guys house....most of them don't have much knowledge of Scripture but want it. That's my passion and I'm SO looking forward to it!!!
So if you ever call...and I don't answer...I might just be kickin' it at the HOT HOUSE!!...with some great women...I hope you can meet them someday!
More pictures to come....and check out the web site for Transitional Youth if you're interested in who I'm working with and for (see link on sidebar)

It's so neat to hear how God is using you, Cheryl. I wish we could live closer, and exchange these conversations in person! You are a wonderfully sweet person, whom I will always be glad to call "friend"!
that's special you can work with these women.
How great to get paid for doing what you love!
Thanks for coming out...it was good to see you.

YES, ej...i realize my mistake but it just sounds right to say HOT House...it's what i call it. it sounds wierd to say "I work at the HOT....nope, doesn't work. you're a great teacher though! :)
I call it the Hotness sometimes, just to avoid redundancy:)
Gotta stick with what you know is right, though!
