AND THE JOURNEY CONTINUES ...

In my last post I shared how I arrived in NW Arkansas. Not long after getting there I got a phone call that I should get to my mothers bedside as it looked like she was failing fast. So God had a reason for my change of plans. Mother recovered so I spent a few extra days there visiting. She went home to be with her Lord Jesus on Dec 9. She is now "running and leaping and praise God". I'm sure she is singing, also.

I headed back to Denver and took two days to drive there. I arrived at my dotter's and spent the night there. On arising the next morning I found her driveway covered in auto coolant! Turns out to be a loose lower radiator hose. I tightened it and went on. I had spent 115 days traveling 8400 miles and covering 11 states. No mechanical problems of any kind. Praise God it waited till I got to Denver.

However, two weeks later a head/manifold gasket blew out. Will cost $3000 to repair. I don't  have anywhere close to that amount, in fact, that is about 3 times what I do have. Thank God that it happened after I got to Denver where I know some mechanics.

So what now? I don't know, but I'm trusting that God has His plan for me and I'm resting in that. Will my travels continue? Again, I don't know. Guess I'm entering into another season in my life.

Pray for me as I seek His face in all this. Pray for clear directions, money to repair or to buy another means of transportation.

May our Lord God give you blessings during the days ahead. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!
