Directions

There are many ways to find directions now days, GPS, Google Maps, or the old fashion way of looking at a Road Atlas. Of course you can ask someone too. Remember the old days when you were lost and went to the gas station to ask directions because for some reason the guy there knew where everything in town was! :) Well it is time for me to ask God for directions. He is just like that guy at the gas station. He always knows what direction to point us and set us on the right path to our destination. Life has many turns and things that get us off course but He always sets us back on track.

I've had a few e-mails in the last week that have made me wonder if my life is taking the right track. I've questioned my return to Uganda but I know that God wants me there and is just setting me on a "new road course". Thank you God! I love you and trust you because you ALWAYS put me on the right path. You are my life GPS!!

U.S. Road Trip

31 Dec, 2009

Well I made it half way across the U.S. yesterday. I completed my 1,345 mile road trip from Spencerville, IN to Woodland Park, CO. I started out my first day from my Dad's house at 7:30am, a half hour behind schedule. I quickly made up time because I had great weather...no snow! I reached St Louis, MO by mid-day and by 6pm local time I had reached west of Topeka, KS. It was a long day but I was very blessed to have arrived at the hotel that night without any problems. I rang my family and my Dad was impressed that I had pushed through to west of Topeka. Guess I inherited his driving skills. hehe It felt wonderful to get a hot shower and rest my tired muscles and back. :)




The next morning I woke to 2 inches of snow on my car. Thank God I70 was clear and I had wet but a hazard free road. By mid-day I had almost reached the Colorado state line. Gees was Kansas a boring drive but the farm country was pretty. I kept myself entertained by listening to some great mixed CD's that my friend Donna had made me and taking pictures out the window. I'll say that once I got off I70 and onto U.S. 24 the rolling hills of the Colorado plains were beautiful.




By 3pm I was pulling into a Starbuck's in Colorado Springs to meet my brother, Rob. It was so great to see him!! I jumped out of the car and gave him a BIG hug! Thank you Lord of the safe, uneventful, and beautiful journey half way across the U.S.
