He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God; in Him I will trust.

Psalm 91: 1,2 

That is my scripture. Learning to trust in God is not an easy lesson. Sometimes our own mistakes take us to the place where we are teachable. That is what happened to me. I came to Midland Fair Havens when I was entering my fourth semester of Nursing School. I had already learned to put my trust in God by going back to school, and having to totally depend on God for everything. He gave me everything I needed. There is a scripture that says “ Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Fair Havens helped me to understand that God loves me, and he really does want good things for me, for all of his children. Thanks to the faithfulness, and giving spirit that God has placed in the hearts of those who help make Fair Havens possible, I am now a Registered Nurse. I am buying a house, and I am finally able to provide well for my family. I understand the importance of accountability, and integrity. God transformed me, and still is. Thank You so much Midland Fair Havens. We love you!!!!

 

 

 

 

“The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.”  Psalm 34:17,18.

      When Nicole and I first came to Midland Fair Havens, I could not have imagined the changes that were about to come into our lives.  The Psalms talks about how faithful the Lord is to care for us in our time of trouble and brokenness, and that is a promise I have seen fulfilled in our lives living here.

      When we first came to Midland Fair Havens I thought the future was hopeless, but with God there is always hope, and fortunately, he has a Plan B.  In the past 17 months we’ve been given a beautiful home, an opportunity to grow and heal, and live in peace.  I’ve had the opportunity to focus on education, which is cornerstone to having a future, and I would never have stepped in that direction if it weren’t for Fair Havens and the love and support of the staff.  We are very grateful for the time we’ve had here and for the new family we have come to know and love. I would like to offer a heartfelt thanks to the churches, businesses and individuals who have made Midland Fair Havens such a life-changing experience for us. God bless. Cindy

 

“Through their love and grace for my life and my children, Midland Fair Havens gave me hope during the time that my dreams seemed too high to reach, the tunnels seemed too dark to see, and the roads seemed too long to bear.  May God bless you always for saving us.”

"Because of Midland Fair Havens, I feel better about myself and my future. Fair Havens is allowing me to finish my degree so I will not be one of the many to fall through the cracks. With their assistance, I am able to connect with resources to get help for my children that I could not provide on my own."
