Waiting

    A week ago Cas and I were talking about how we used to volunteer and got so much fulfillment from it and how we haven't felt that for such a long time. So as I was complaining about the cold and the delays and the illnesses, what was really happening was God was setting me up.  Had Cas and I left when WE planned I would not have gotten to help at Reggie's Sleep Out.
    I have also been wondering what God want's for us in this adventure we've set out on (we left yesterday by the way).  Every door for us to leave seems to have been near flung open but not a lot of clues as to wear they lead.  The only direction we've gotten so far was from some friends that told us to check out IHOP in Kansas City and then some of Cas's family from the area told us to come visit.
    So here we are.  Waiting for God's next move.

Damn It All!

So now the Neon is acting up, the list of things to do is getting longer instead of the other way around, we've had just three days of partial sun in the past two weeks, and I have a cold.

The Day Is Set

Friday Oct. 23.

Are We Ever Gonna Get Out of Here!!

    This is taking a bit longer than anticipated though we are very close.  We have some trim to put up and the stove to mount and the interior stuff will be done.  The plumbing is done as far as we can do here.  With the weather turning fast we'll have to check the storage tanks on the road.  The electrical is done as far as we can do as well.  I got some solar panels the other day but can't mount them as the roof sealer needs warmer climes.  Mechanically, I'll do shocks today if all goes well and there is a slight radiator hose leak and I have to hook up the tow lights.  Our friend Darrick is coming over tonight to look at the welds on the trailer hitch because I think they're a bit ghetto.
    Little things keep poping up but pretty soon we'll just have to say screw it, we'll deal with it on the road!!  So far we only have a general direction of Southwest for an agenda.  Be praying for us that God gives us some guidance for where we can be used.  With staying so busy with getting stuff ready we have found ourselves neglecting the one that will make all this a success.  Pray we stay focused on why we're doing this in the first place.

      "Love from the center of who you are; don't fake it.  Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good.  Be good friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle.
       Don't burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame.  Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully expectant.  Don't quit in hard times; pray all the harder.  Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality."    Romans 12:9-13
