NEEDLES

i am now in a little town called Needles on the border of Cal/Arizona. i have traveled 521 miles thus far, i have 723 miles to Amarillo, and the total trip will be 2451 miles from Santa Rosa to Daytona. Praise God.

So far it has been all God and i give Him all the Glory for me being here. The RV has been thru the daytime heat of the Mojave Desert and survives to drive today. By a fluke on my part, i was looking for an RV park to stop in before the desert, to rest and head out after the heat of the day, but i missed the exit and was headed right for the Tehachapi pass (4000 ft) and Mojave Desert. i knew going in it would be rough, i usually always travel early in hot climates. It was weird. So, i just turned all things off and prayed the whole way. God is awesome and is there for me always. i depend on Him. Thank you for all your prayers, i know God hears each one. i know. i have talked to most all of you on the way and that is great too. You can call anytime. it has come to me over and over as i travel, "All Glory be to God"...for answered prayer, for all things. Luke 2:14 says it this way when the multitude of heavenly host were praising God at Jesus birth, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

i have to drive 50mph so it takes a bit longer, but it is all great. i cannot tell you how much your prayers and encouragement mean to me. Thank you all. i will update this later today. i need to fill the RV with gas and fluids. i should be going shortly....love to you all... God bless you with the joy of His presence. Isn't it cool that God is with me here on the journey and also with you there at the same time... God is so awesome... Amen, amen and amen...

PS... Hey Myles, God bless you at camp and football practice... have fun... love you Buddy.... :)
