The Guest Room

I grew up in a home where there was no guest room. If anyone spent the night, they had to sleep on the sofa. Not a sofa bed, just a sofa. That didn’t make for comfortable accommodations so we didn’t have very many overnight guests!

Fast forward to the future. The date is May 30, 2014. On that day, I am not in the home where I grew up.  I am in the retreat home where I am hosting the iHope Fertility Retreat. There are enough bedrooms in this house so that there is an empty bedroom. But because a generous donor gave me a scholarship for a young woman, that empty room has become a guest room for an attendee.

Bedroom by Witthaya PhonsawatHave been thinking about coming to the iHope Fertility Retreat but finances were holding you back? I have a scholarship that you could possibly qualify for and use to pay your FULL registration fee! Someone who believes in the mission of the iHope Fertility Retreat handed me a check last night to cover the the cost of one person to attend. This was such a clear indication of God’s favor working. It was such an unexpected blessing!!! And yet, I must say that all along I was expecting God to make a way for the right people to be in the right place at the right time so that the right people could attend. In the Fall of 2013, I made Him my Retreat Attendance Officer  and I haven’t worried about who’s coming since then.

I expect that He will continue to provide in other ways, just as He has provided the guest room at the iHope Retreat.

If you’re interested in seeing if you qualify for this scholarship, please email me at Evangeline@EvangelineColbert.com and let me know why you’d like to be the one enjoying a stay in the guest room. 

Will you be my guest?
