A Women of Hope, Patience, and Faith

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. *Romans 12:12

This scripture is what I think Norma has lived out over the past year and a half.  She has been able to be happy because of the hope she has been given through her salvation because of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  She has been patient; even though not having a home to live in for herself and her 5 young children and 2 young sisters after losing it to a mudslide in May of 2010.  She has been in constant prayer trusting that God would provide a new home for her one day.

That day is now!  After 2 months of slow construction, Norma will be moving into her new home this weekend!  Her and her kids are very excited!  The youngest one, Alen (3 yrs), said this just last week, "Momma, that's my house!"  Praise the Lord for providing a home for this special family that is so dear to me!

Beverly (12 yrs).  Sister of Norma that was abandoned by her mother and now lives with Norma.
