After the first couple steps I took my shoes and socks were already soaked with ice water. But every step after that was AMAZING! God blessed me with incredible joy and I ended up meeting some awesome people.
Wow, what a great season in Pennsylvania. We were able to buy and sell some kids clothes at the largest consignment sale in the US. Then we celebrated Junior's second birthday amongst family and friends. And now we're packing up to head to Louisiana. What a season of favor, as we were added to the missionary board at Coventry Church of the bretheren. We were also listed as Westmont Christian Academy's "missionaries of the month" and featured on Real Men Connect's weekly podcast. Totally humbled at how unqualified we are for this mission trip, and how our God still chooses to use us! Hallelujah!
Wow, I have really fallen behind with updates to this blog. Many apologies. In July, we began our 50 states mission trip in Maine. We camped in Naples and then spent a few weeks in Bangor when Pastor Bobby Bledsoe of City Reach offered to host us at his church. What an awesome, amazing time of ministry.

They also opened their pantry...and what perfect timing because we had just run out of food and funds! Then in September we moved into Vermont where another cross bearer hosted us! The power couple of Liz and Larry Messier met us in Montpelier ...

While back in Picayune, MS, we took the camper into the repair shop to have some work done. We didn't anticipate a $4200 bill in repairs, but that's what needed to happen. The rainy season brought about some leaks, and the air conditioners weren't working right, along with several other things. So we took the RV to the garage knowing that we didn't have the resources enough to cover it, and by the grace of God, everything was taken care of!! A check from the military came in; mind you, we had been waiting for this check for over a year now!! It covered one third of the bill!! We emptied out our savings again, and with the help of a few friends; all of our needs were met! Now that brings us to the Kinchen family. They hosted us for the month of June, and let me tel...
