Do you remember when you moved into your current home? Do you remember why you rented your apartment, bought your house or condo? Why did you choose that specific place and that particular community to live in?
I remember when Britton and I moved back to Regina to be a part of Living Hope. One of the first decisions we had to make was where we were going to live. Living Hope is in the Southeast, but all of our extended family is in the Northwest, and that’s the part of the city where Britton and I grew up, and we were most familiar with it. So, the decision wasn’t easy, we were torn. In the end, we decided to live in Arcola East. We chose our home because we want to be in the neighbourhood where the church was. We wanted to be a part of reaching out to the communities around the church on a day to day basis. We chose our house because of the mission God has given us as a family.
As I look back on the last nine years that we have been in this home, I can see that while we chose our house, God placed us in this neighbourhood for a purpose. He put us here to be salt and light and to express the love of Christ on our block. When you look back on the time you’ve lived in your neighbourhood, do you feel the same? Why do you live where you do?
