2 Days FULL of Blessings

Our journey began yesterday, which is so weird to believe because if we could just literally tell you all the crazy blessings and divine appointments from the Lord....you would think that we have been away for weeks!

As we started the trip yesterday, we sort of got a late start, but eventually we got on the road (being gone for 6 months....it is crazy to pack).  It is so interesting when we are about to go do something that we know is going to be so big and how the enemy tries to attack us in the little ways.  So get this, like four days before we are supposed to leave I know only start having ear pain, but I also get teeth pain, eye pain...and there was something else wrong with me (haha sorry I am pretty tired right now).  I mean really....really!?  Well God is bigger than all that stuff so eventually it starts to go away and as we are getting ready to pull out our GPS breaks.  So realizing what an earthly mentality that I live in, my first thought is "OH GREAT! What are we going to do? How are we going to get to all these places we need to go?"  But as God is teaching me, He is so faithful and will always provide, because He always has a plan.  So literally about a minute later our beautiful roommate tells us that we can bring hers with us!  Now if that is not God showing up at the perfect time.  So we now have a GPS, Rachel,  that we named in honor of the amazing girl who have it to us literally as she was leaving for school.

We got inside our little car Blueberry (whose windows dont roll down and has kind of started getting to the end of her life) and started rockin out to some good music.  Now you would think 13 hours is a long time to drive in the car for one day, and it is but for some reason it went by SO fast!  Lauren rode sidecar for a good portion of the trip which meant that she got to practice her drumming!  She is going to be so professional at the end of this trip.

So like three days ago, we had no idea where we were going to stay along the trip.  We felt that God was saying..."you are supposed to go and if you trust me, trust that I will provide."  With that, we did not know where we were going to sleep last night or tonight.  And a day before we left, the Lord introduced us to an awesome guy who came to visit our community.  He told us he knew some great people in Brownsborro, Texas that we could stay with, and sure enough we arrived at the Berry house.  Now let me just tell you how incredible these people are!  They had no idea who we were and as of 5pm yesterday, they thought we were Philip's guy friends! haha  The Lord is so great though, and just really provides all the time.  They waited up for us and we pulled in close to 11pm at night and they had a bed ready for us and were just so loving, caring and hospitable!  When we woke up the next morning d plans for us to go stay with thewe were able to spend time with Roger and hear all about their life!  We sat at the dining table and looked out over their beautiful land and just really were able to take in the beauty that the Lord has created.  Now Mr. Roger, he is quite the hunter because any animal (big game) that you can think of, they had their antlers.  We got such an awesome tour around and got to hear many stories.

As we left we were heading out to McKinney, TX where we were going to see one of the most incredible families ever!  When I used to go to Belize, I met the Wilson family and have been able to stay in touch with them over the years!  So God ha

m for today.  We were running around doing errands, we had such a great lunch where we talked forever! Then, we went to one of their children's (Ben) basketball game and just had a ball.  So just think of that movie "The Blind Side" well this is the family.  I just love them so much and I dont ever want to leave here!  They are so funny and caring and warm and giving and loving and well this list could be never ending.  And that brings us to now. 

We are getting ready to head to bed and as I look over everything I just wrote, my eyes are the size of little slits and probably most of what I just wrote does not make any sense (my apologies haha).  But another update on Marconni, he gave us a call and is planning on meeting up with us on Tuesday or Wednesday. 

Tomorrow we are headed to Convergence Church (the church we are a church plant out of) and have some great meetings set up.  I will try to write more tomorrow!

Prayer Requests: Thank you so much for yall who have been praying for us! We truly feel it and can already what God is doing around us, in us, and with our friendship.  If yall would continue praying for safety and for our little blue car, that she would continue to make it!  Also please be praying for rest continued eyes/ears to be focused on Him.

Love you!
