Rt. 23 West

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...

Atlanta Homeless

Last week I went out to do a prayer walk around the Georgia State-House in Atlanta. I had no idea how bad the homeless situation was until I struck up conversation with a man named Rick. He told me how horrible living on the streets has been for him; he was going on five years. Apparently, someone in his family had died, and he lost everything.  We kept talking, and later he mentioned that it was going to rain, which makes finding shelter and moving his belongings so much more difficult since he didn't have a buggy cart anymore. The man was basically lugging around suitcases, buckets, and  a backpack. And even though his situation might be laughable to some; my heart went out to him.  I asked if he needed anything (because sometimes we need to move beyond just prayer), and he said that he was hungry. The problem in Atlanta is that there aren't enough shelters or soup kitchens in contrast to the homeless population, and the few that are, fill up too quickly! So these p...

Richmond, VA

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...
