Up until a couple of years ago, my life consisted of doing whatever I could to alleviate the shame and this sense of inadequacy I had adopted as a young adult. The heaviness I carried with me was unbearable and my coping skills became harmful to myself and my family, primarily my kids. I never intended to become addicted to drugs, but that’s exactly what happened. That path of destruction and brokenness is what eventually led me to Renew. At Renew, I learned that my mess ups weren’t too big for God. And that God actually wants a relationship with me, despite my imperfections.

After I was able to get some healing, my son and I were able to move into a place of our own a few months ago. I was grateful, but realized that the way that my home looked resembled my old dark life, rather than my new one. And I felt ashamed because I didn’t know how to make it better.

That’s when I met Kaysie and her precious Homes and Havens team.

I will never forget during my initial consultation how embarrassed I was at the state of my home and how Kaysie and Meg spoke directly to those fears and made me feel comfortable. I’m not exactly sure what I expected my house to look like after the H & H install but my expectations were completely blown out of the water.

It is BEAUTIFUL now!

God used Kaysie and Homes and Havens to breathe His life and peace into our home and fill it with a new purpose. My son is so proud of it now, too. He loves his room and he has even been getting up and making his bed every day — without me even asking!
