Umm..someone fell asleep...lol!

Day number 28

I guess today was a little tiring for me. I woke up this morning and packed everything to get started around 6:30. As I sat down to put my shoes on..I looked down and saw the tire I had fixed from a previous time was flat again.
The blessing was...I was right across the street from a convenients store that had air and a patch kit. After buying the kit and walking out to the cart I heard someone say..I thought you looked familiar....I saw you on the news. After fixing the tire getting the air...a cup of coffee, off I went. The road started out narrow but opened up fairly nice later. Probably 12 or so miles into the journey the cart seemed harder to push. As I looked around at the tires I noticed the front tire had now gone flat. I haven't been able to buy a pump yet anywhere so I could not fix it on my own this time. I pushed down on the handle to bring the cart up on it's rear wheels and pushed it like that. After about a mile or so I saw a sod farm about a 1/4 mile down a side road...thinking to myself..surely they have an air compressor as I walked down and knocked..no answer...so I left. As I was going back towards the main road I noticed some men working in a field. I walked over to them and told them who I was and what I was doing. Explained to them about my flat and asked if they had a pump or compressor to fix it. They said yes, so I wheeled the cart down to their garage. One of them also said...didn't I see you on the news. Well, let me tell you..they just took over...took the wheel off repaired it and put it back on for me ready to go. The blessing...finding and talking with such a great group of people. They even prayed for me and my journey...I felt like family they where so nice and kind to me. God bless you Steve senior,  Steve Junior, Marshall, Steve seniors brother and Joe the two brothers father. What an amazing family to run into. Thank you all so much...a true blessing from God!

As I ventured down the road about a mile from where I got the tire repaired I heard a womans voice yelling hey...I turned around and saw a women calling me. I turned the cart around and went back to her...she said..aren't you the one on the news. Her name was Judith and she shared her story of anxiety and deppression she had battled for years. Thankfully she is doing better now. I tell you..it is truely hard to suffer like that and just as hard not to have those close to you understand how you really feel. You have to experience it to really understand how one could feel going through a mental illness. What a brave woman to share her story with me and allow me to tell it. Thank you Judith.

As I ventuted further down the road I came upon a young woman mowing her lawn. As I approached I waived like I always do. She stopped her mower..got off and said..I knew that was you as you were coming towards me. I saw you on a facebook post. She shared her story about her sister who suffers from a post traumatic stress disorder. Thank you Elizabeth for sharing your story with me..and I am happy to say her sister is now getting the help she needs. What a Blessing to meet all these super Nice people.

I stopped at Walter's Gas and Grill at the Hill for lunch in Society Hill, Alabama. I got me a hamburger and double fries...and yes they were delicious. They were kind enough to find the number and call the motel I am at now. I never would have known it was here if Judith hadn't told me about it. Thank you Judith and thank you Walter's for calling for me. Yes..that was another blessing. So after 27 miles of walking I finally got to the motel for the night.

What a great and blessed day. And thank you Adam for those words keep going....I heard them in my mind on several of the hills today. Prayers to all I have met so far!

I also met Silberio Espinoza..a truck driver who was stopped on the side of the road. He asked about my walked and we talked for a while and he gave me a donation for my journey before I parted. It was a blessing to meet and talk with you sir! 

I JUST FEEL THE URGE TO WALK!
