On Sunday, March 29th, 2020, I received this text from our neighbor,
Ms. Mackie Chesnutt. (Ms. Mackie was original owner of Crumpet Tea
Room and had been fighting a courageous battle of cancer for over a year.)
“Our home is so full of Love and Memories I will never forget! The thought
of leaving it with a total stranger breaks my heart. It’s so full of blessings,
to know it could give so many more blessings to moms and children would
be an answer to prayers!! If it is meant to be, it will be in God’s hands. Love
you guys and stay safe.”
In late July, after months of struggling with God, He woke me at
3:00 a.m. and spoke to my heart “You came here with $600.00
and look what I have done, trust Me.” So, the next day we called
and told Ms. Mackie and Pastor Jackie that we would take the big
leap of faith and would be purchasing the property. Over the
next few days, God continued to unfold the dream of this
property being able to create a revenue stream that would
provide funding for The Children’s Advocacy Center and
Restoration Village and also be a venue that would be able to
provide training, jobs, housing for women who were continuing
their journey of sustainability and healing. Country Rose Manor
Wedding and Event Center was born, our third 501©3.
When Ms. Mackie passed away August 29th, 2020, she was able to
realize her dream of her home being filled with love, continuing
the mission and vision, and service she had provided to so many
throughout her life.
