THREE WEEKS DOWN THE ROAD

It's officially been three weeks! Normally at this point we're thinking about home. And baking cozy things. And getting everyone back on a real schedule.

But for this season, we ARE home!

God has been so very good and WE PRAISE HIM! He masterfully orchestrated a very tricky sprint from Boca Raton to Orlando to Spokane to Louisiana to Texas...all in one week. He provided just the mechanic we needed to replace all 8 BATTERIES! He has given us sweet believers to fellowship with (just 10 feet away) at campgrounds. 
He has kept us well!

He has also given many unique opportunities to share the gospel. Some favorites are Charlie's long visit with a homeless man over hamburgers at midnight, the prison work crew landscaping at the playground (Curtis shared the gospel with a very open prisoner named Matthew), and the enormous cake someone gave us that we got to pass out to truckers with "million dollar bills" at the Love's Truck stop. Talk about fun. :)

These windows of fellowship keep us going when the road and our days seem LONG. Parking 65 feet of bus and trailer is a big thing. Finding post offices to ship from and hunting for packages lost on the way to Australia can be a big thing. Hustling 11 sinners out the door every night somewhat gracefully....HA! Big thing. Sometimes finding our shoes in here is a big thing!

But the Lord reminds us so often and so immediately WHY we are doing this. People need truth, they need hope, and mostly they need Him. And to God be the Glory! When we pile out to hug, sing, smile, and just BE THERE, He kindly takes our tiny loaves and fish (yes..we LOVE that story!) and multiplies them in ways we wouldn't even think to ask for.

Thank you for praying! We are so grateful!
