We just received a CD in the mail with pictures from last month's visit to Tri-County Bible Church. Here's one pic, the rest can be found in our PhotoAlbum.
Caleb and I actually had a strange time in Richmond. When we got to the city, it was empty. Nothing was stirring until the afternoon so we took a tour of the Holocaust Museum. If you haven't been to one of the Holocaust museums, it's a must. The atrocities committed against the Jews were horrific and we must learn from history. I left feeling inspired to live my life to the fullest in honor of those who lost theirs prematurely. Once we were CrossWalking we split up in order to cover more of the city. I met two men about my age and the one guy asked, "So why are you carrying that cross?" His friend exclaimed, "Oh, duh, I thought it was a 'tee' ...a cross; now it makes sense." Little kids have asked me why I was carrying a wooden "X" before, but I was taken back that this guy thought I was dressed in a robe, carrying a "T." I was left speechless for a minute; but then continued to proclaim the Gospel to the first guy. Looking back...
I was tempted to skip crosswalking today because I'm a little sore from yesterday. I decided however to walk a half-day instead. As soon as I got out of the campsite the first person that stopped to talk was the last person that stopped to talk last night. I found that her name is Patty and that she's the wife of the camp owner. I told Evie last night that I wanted to speak with Patty more because the last thing she said to me was, “it doesn't matter what god you believe in, as long as you have faith.” Thank God I was able to speak and pray with her this morning. Walking along State Route 23, two women named Jennifer and Alice stopped they were on the way to work and wanted to hear my testimony. They were both believers and we were able to encourage one another. After they pulled away and I began walking again, I passed a piece of paper blowing in the wind. I really felt God lead me to pick it up so I backed up and grabbed it. It had a woman named Sylvia's ema...
I had SO much I wanted to write as soon as Caleb and I finished CrossWalking today but when I got back to the camper I was exhausted with a killer headache. It's after 2am here in Bel Air, MD and I just posted this testimony on facebook: Sound asleep in the camper... I wake up at midnight... WIDE AWAKE. Think to myself, "I should pray and go back to sleep." Then God says, "Go into Walmart." I say, "...hmm, must not be God. It's cold outside, middle of the night, not going." God says, "Go." I get in there and right away see a family (young mom and dad and toddler daughter) grocery shopping. I was drawn to them...wondered why they were out so late. Walked around the store, they were playing Turbo on the big screens so I got distracted. I picked up a pack of socks, said a couple "God bless you's" to people (but I knew I was missing something). I got to the check out at the same time as the family I saw earlie...
