Our House

1619 NE Holman Street

In December of 1999, when Kaelea and I moved into the Woodlawn neighborhood, we rented this small house on Holman Street. We brought Isaiah home from the hospital to this house in June. After 8th months on the corner of 17th and Holman, we moved into our own first house.

6837 NE Claremont Avenue

Our first house was not a house per se, but a condominium in Woodlawn Park. We heard a lot of gun shots in this house. We brought Malachi and Michal home from the hospital and hosted a lot of life groups in this house. Isaiah started kindergarten in this house. We Learned a little about loving our neighbors, and a lot about money management in this house. When we came home from our Africa sabbatical in January of 2006, we decided to sell our condo in order to live simply and learn to be more generous givers.

6322 NE 8th Avenue

After selling our condo, we moved into this apartment across the yard from the PUMP house. The girls started school in this house. We learned how to maximize space and think globally in this house. We learned that hospitality has nothing to do with where you live, and everything to do with who you are in this house. We learned to be more generous with what we had in this house. We learned how better to manage and give our money in this house.

7032 NE 10th Ave

We are moving again. I wonder what will happen in this house?
