remember lots wife.

we have some incredible friends.
my family & i have been so blessed by how loving they are to those around them, how kind they are to those in need, & how generous they are with what the LORD has given to them. 
i want introduce you to some of them. 

meet the dean family.
justin, heidi, dylan & coming soon: miss evelyn 





 i am pretty sure that i have told you about this lovely family before. but, just in case i have not, here you go. :) 
the dean's moved here to seattle almost a year & a half ago. 
its been such a blessing to get to know this amazing family. 
like a really huge giant blessing. 
something really awesome about the dean's is that they think of a million and ten ways to love those around them. justin & heidi are super missional & are always thinking of ways to bless others with  their creative ideas & marketing skills. so, a handful of sermons ago this idea was born. 


in Luke 17 Jesus tells us to "remember lots wife". now, lots wife was a lady who longed after her sinful life & paid a very heavy consequence because of that. she was turned into a pillar of salt because she looked back on her old life instead of turning & walking the the direction that God wanted her to go. Jesus was asked in Luke 17 28:-33 about the kingdom of God. and he responded with this: 

28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, 29 but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all— 30 so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back. 32 Remember Lot's wife. 33 Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it.

Jesus is asking us to remember lots wife when we want to turn back to our old sinful life. 

so, justin & his beautiful wife heidi created  remember lot's wife wristbands to give us a daily reminder of what Jesus taught in luke 17.

  their idea is that by wearing this wristband then you to will remember what Jesus has asked us to do, by turning back from your old, sinful life & walking towards him as a new creation in Christ.  

the other super cool thing about remember lots wife, is that these amazing wristbands are only $5.00 { & free shipping to anywhere in the usa!} but the best part is that $3.00 of every wristband sales goes to help support missionaries. seriously, how amazing is that?! you get a constant reminder of truth while supporting people sharing the gospel! so, please, go check out their website:

and buy a wristband, or 2.
