Thank you for writing this and thank you for hosting! We all need community.
A friend of mine once said that the grace that God wants to pour into our lives is pressurized, behind a wall, and we just need to give God a tiny crack and it'll burst through and pour and pour. But aren't those cracks hard to open sometimes! We'd rather fill in the cracks with reasons (and seemingly valid reasons!) we can't possibly [fill in the blank good and holy things, like hosting].
I sincerely hope that hosting in my small, messy, sticker-covered house with kids running around the small backyard means someone else will think they can host too, even if it's just coffee and you have to sit on a bucket of oats!
I love this!
thanks for reading!

I like that picture of water pouring through the cracks! Thanks for reading :).
My toddlers have currently moved on from stickers and I'm now finding band-aids stuck to things.
