My name is Erin Cottingham and I am a mother of 4 beautiful children. I have 3 daughters and 1 son. I guess you could say the last few chapters in the story book of my family's life hit that heartbreaking, devestating loss and life changing moment that sends your soul searching and finally turning everything over to God the almighty Savior and we're now so much more at peace and appreciative of the small things we tend to never take notice of once life's struggles and battles are more profound than ever. My family became homess for almost 4 months and we lived in a hotel recently for over 3 months. I finally was able to get into our own place and I can move forward with God by side(though he has been there the entire time of course). We had absolutely NOTHING to move into this place I worked hard to get us in through the strength God instilled in me and true persistence. And, I get a phone call and the VERY NEXT DAY and following the next 2 days after that as well Good Shepherd Ministries/Mrs Kim and her family and family of generous volunteers flourished my new apartment with all the things we need and even things we desire to then make this apartment a true place to call home. If I wrote all of the feelings I'm feeling this moment and all the many furnishings and necessities they donated on to us with the biggest smiles on their faces while doing it, then I would never have enough space in this message to explain it all in detail. This ministry is doing God's work and doing it with such ease and dedication. I will be forever grateful and gracious to these amazing individuals. I'm so thankful they will forever be in our lives and I was so lucky to have met human beings such as this. I'm still in unbelievable awe!!! My angels they are. Thanks j you more than words can ever say. My kids smiles have made all of the storm finly be a to celebrate the rebirth of our lives and dedication to God. Amen and peace be with you all. Rise up!
