I have 3 children and 2 stepchildren. 2 of my natural children were delivered right into Jesus' arms. The 1st was Zachariah David, born still, at 30 weeks gestation. 6 months later his sister Hannah Elizabeth delivered via miscarrriage at 12 weeks gestation, too early to be considered for burial so we did not have a memorial service or a grave site/stone for her like we did Zachariah. She was "born" in March of 1990, hence my use of HannahE90. My living memorial to her.

Why Hannah's House? Again a living memorial. My husband and I have a ministry, New Shiloh. One of the facets of our ministry, yet to manifest, is something the Lord laid on my heart looooong ago (it seems). Providing a temporary living facility with support and Titus2 type mentoring to unwed/single Moms and the young ones. An alternative to abortion. I envisioned a refurbished old motel with living units that would include 1 or 2 bedrooms, a living/eating area with a small, basic kitchen, and of course a bathroom. There would be a common laundry area. A safe and sheltered play area. And my big desire is to have mature Christian women mentoring them in how to be a solid Christian mom & women despite the circumstances. To model and counsel. I would like to see one on one discipleship/mentoring as well as group. I would like to see counseling in how to do this AND support her family without compromising the vison of being a Proverbs 31 woman.

Well, I decided to stretch the use of the name Hannah's House and name my blog that as well. Maybe it's keeping the vision in front of my face kind of thing! My entries here will not be just about ministry but about life... being a wife, mom, sister, daughter, friend. About home and schooling... and whatever else may arise  .

So, this is my first blog entry and I survived ...hehe!
