Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Last updated on: April 24, 2018 at 1:09 pm   By Bethany Anderson

Our lives have forever been changed by a new, yet extremely deep relationship we have built with an 18 year old undocumented immigrant. His story will break your heart. For the sake of his privacy, you will have to take my word for it. But I would like to share a small part of his journey and ways you can join the fight by praying for this young man. I spoke with this friend, I will call him G, last... Read more

Freedom

Last updated on: April 24, 2018 at 1:06 pm   By Bethany Anderson

I spent the day with a bunch of boys from our Garnet Teen Center…always an adventure, to say the least. As we were driving home from a day at the beach, one of the boys read the sign as we got on the 405 south…towards San Diego. He said, “I’m not aloud to go there!” I reassured him that we were, in fact, going home and that he had nothing to worry about. Although I chuckled a little when he... Read more

Upside Down

Last updated on: April 24, 2018 at 1:04 pm   By Bethany Anderson

Since today marks the date in which the controversial SB 1070 law is set to go into effect, I thought I would share some thoughts about this heated debate. When this law was first brought to the public’s attention a couple months back, I decided I better read the whole thing to see what it really said. I also read a lot of commentary on the law, from both sides of the debate. I was, and still am opposed to... Read more

No Me Gusta Adios

Last updated on: April 24, 2018 at 1:02 pm   By Bethany Anderson

I have always hated good bye’s. The worst kind of good bye’s are the ones where you don’t know when you will see that person again. Well tonight I had to say a couple seemingly permanent good bye’s. I have spent the last month and half getting to know the girls at the shelter and I knew the day would come when some of the girls would leave. It’s forbidden for volunteers to exchange personal info with the kids or... Read more

Meet Julie and Natalie

Last updated on: April 5, 2018 at 1:03 pm   By Bethany Anderson

Julie, 7, and Natalie, 3, are our neighbors that live directly behind us. For some reason, they have decided they like coming to our house. I’m not exactly sure why, we have nothing that I would consider appealing to a 3 and 7 year old, but they come…almost daily. Because of this and the history we have with the family over the past few years, we have gotten to know their story quite intimately. Natalie, Julie, and their older brother,... Read more

So I started a blog….

My fight. The fight God has called me to. Our fight. If you know me at all, you know my life is most lived in a neighborhood in Fullerton, Ca. My husband and I have committed to intentionally walking through life with our neighbors with the hope that they will one day know the freedom of Christ. Often times, this means embracing the struggles of our neighbors as our own. There is one struggle that stands out from the others.... Read more
