Corrina's Story...


 

Today after three persevering years, one of our beautiful residents graduated from Drug Court. This entailed years of probation, therapy, drug testing and attorney meetings, for a chance at having a felony expunged from her record. Today she graduated and her record was cleared of the charges against her. Thank you Jesus!

 

She came into The Sheepfold fighting a spiritual battle against the stronghold of addiction. That, as we all know, many cannot overcome. However, with her continued trust and strength to wake up everyday, and choose to put Christ, her daughter and herself first, earned her success. She has recently been promoted to Manager at a medical office. She was able to regain visitation with two of her older children who she had lost contact with because of the choices she had made

 

She is now a mighty Woman of God! Her youngest daughter exudes the joy that flows from the heart of this beautiful, beautiful woman. She has the gift of joy! Thank you for your prayers and devotion to the families of The Sheepfold ministry! Please keep your prayers coming!

 

- Chrissy, Sheepfold House Manager

Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new person. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new.

Garden Day

 

Recently our families re-started the garden at our Second Step property. Our current Second Step Families as well as some of our Alumni, came together to do gardening, but also to enjoy each other's company.

 

The kids really like helping out while they dig for worms and bugs, and everyone enjoys eating the fruits of their labor!

 

 

 

Butterfly Fun...

THE BUTTERFLY SONG

 

If I were a butterfly

I'd thank you Lord for giving me wings

If I were a robin in a tree

I'd thank you Lord that I could sing

If I were a fish in the sea

I'd wiggle my tail and I'd giggle with glee

But I just thank you Father for making me, me

 

CHORUS

For you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile

You gave me Jesus and you made me your child

And I just thank you Father for making me, me
