The Long Road Home

On Monday at 4:45pm-ish... I pulled onto a snow-packed road. After leaving home around 7:30am, over 4,000 miles were travelled in 4 and 1/2 days. No mechanical issues along the way, though my battery died this morning. There were some issues with tie straps and weather. All in all, it was a very good trip. There was a lot to reflect on as I drove. Thank you all for your prayers and support on this trip. It was greatly appreciated. God's hand was evident during the trip. I hope to post some pictures and explain a little more about the trip. For now it is unpacking and getting settled in. God is doing amazing things, and I can't wait to see what He will do through me as I serve Him through Victory Bible Camps & Conference Center.

This adventure is about to begin. Stay tuned.

Many Thanks

Thursday is the day. Packing is becoming bearable. I thought it would be much easier, but this was not the case as I dove into it. But things will come together before leaving for Alaska on the 20th.

With the overwhelming gratitude, support and cards from all of you, I can't respond to all of them before I leave. But this gives an opportunity to share with all of you the journey ahead that you have so graciously funded. I cannot wait to share all that God is going to do in the coming days of traveling as well as the work ahead at Victory.

Until then... thank you. And...

Grace & Peace,

The Pressure Is Subsiding

The 20th is creeping up not so slowly anymore. It became a reality when I gave a two weeks notice to work. There are only two weeks of work, then a half week of final packing before the move. But there was one small thing that was causing a lot of pressure and stress. Now the stress is gone as one package containing my new passport came in the mail this week. Now I can safely cross the US-Canada boarder without any issues (hopefully). Can't wait to hit the Alaskan boarder and hear the friendly voice welcoming me back to the US, as well as "Victory Bible Camps... I went there as a kid."

19 Days to go.

Grace & Peace,
