a hard trip in many ways

Its been exciting to be on our trip . As I sit here,reflecting by myself...it's hard. Thrilled to meet new friends and form friendships in eastern Oregon. Was able to see a aunt of John's in the hospital. Knowing as we left the next day that the next time we see her , God will have called her home. Another dear aunt and her hubby,we really got to know and spend time with. Another couple we most likely won't see till we are standing on the golden streets. Just talked to dear friends in Arkansas  health not good but they want us to come see them anyhow. They use to divide their 

year half in Grants Pass and half in Arkansas

. But if we dont stop,we may never see them again. The Gospel is real and it makes real friends. Connected with another in kansas hope to see them again real soon. Another coffee friend in Wisconsin 

Many friendships are cemented over coffee. Now John wouldn't agree to that but its true.

A Michael w smith song says" friends are friends for ever if the lord is lord of them"  so true

On the road again.

This anniversary  trip has been so nice. We have gotten to see alot of God's creation. Mountains,valleys, beautiful skies

and sunsets. But most of all we have made closer friendships and relationships. TAKING TIME TO STOP AND LISTEN

...

LISTEN TO WHAT GOD IS SAYING

stopping to take in the moment, listening to the silence. Listening to that small still voice , that was waiting to talk to you.

Back in the Midwest is a a take your time pace. I like that. Everyone is your friend.  Everyone cares and helps each other.  I miss the midwest pace. We could all use it.

One of my favorite singers and I have proved every word. My relationship with Jesus  has kept me going in good times and bad. Jesus has been my strength 

our anniversary trip

We started our trip. Two days after we were finally moved on to our property. So far we have been to the arches,canyonlands ,the rockies . We held cottage meetings in winfild Kansas, where there is still some who faithfully serve the lord.

We made new friends in eastern OR. God is so good and we have just started! Me and John have enjoyed spending time with each other and not have at time constraints.
