Left out of Junction City at 6:45 am after being put up for the night at Gateway. A work based drug rehab center. Everyone there was very nice and very respectful towards each other and I had a clean bed for the night and a restroom. Thank you Gateway for allowing me shelter for the night. God bless you all.
I found a little country diner in Geneva, Ga. A five mile walk from Junction City and stopped and got a cup of coffee. The girl at the counter said didn't I see you in Dublin..that was like 100 miles ago.
Apparently she had passed me going the other way and recognized me when I walk in. At least I am leaving a lasting impression, lol!
It was a continual up and down rolling road today. Some of the hills were a mile long. It was a pretty much a walking day again. No one really to talk to. But when I did see someone, I gave them one of my cards and told them what I was doing.
I had a gentleman driving a truck turn around...go to the next turnaround...just to give me a donation. How great is that. God has been so good to me. Thank you Sir if you are reading this and God bless you.
And just when I was running out of steam I keep saying God please let me find a motel. But instead I came across a sign for this campground. It was maybe one block or so from the highway. What an Oasis it was to me. Naturally I got a site and put the tent up..got in the pool..took a shower...got dressed and now I'm blogging.
Okay...here's the kicker. The girl from the office came from Manchester, Tn. My home state. She has worked with various mental health organizations because of personal reason she shared with me..I like to keep those stories private out of respect to those that tell them, and she had started one of her own. Now what are the odds of that. Now you know why when I asked God please let there be a motel...I was given this campground instead. God knows what he is doing and what he wants me to do. Amen, and praise Jesus! She is going to a bible study in Columbus and invited me along, so I will go. She even offered to take me to get something to eat first. Again...Amen!
Oh, Mike! I wonder if you even thought of it being this way for you??!! So many wonderful people you are walking into !! Thanks for sharing the blessings with us!
ReplyDeleteOh no, Hello it's me again Margaret! So thankful to receive your call tonight and to hear about your experiences. It's just as fun reading about it, even if you did tell me most of it! Mike the gift is in the giving, not in the receiving and it sounds as if you are giving of yourself passing out the cards, talking to everyone, smiling, waving, and blessings them! You are amazing...so the Lord is sending amazing things to you! Hearing and reading of your transformation makes my heart full of joy and all the people said "Amen". Keep it coming Lord...keep it coming Lord! Don't stop me now, don't stop me No! Way to go!
