Traveling

I have completed 2 days of driving. The Lord has shown me His mercy and grace.  He has provided me travel protection. I feel as though I have been in a little bubble. haha~ I have a space before me, and a space behind me. It is a very cool feeling.  :)

Day 1: was long. Good weather. I had a cooler with water, apple juice, bread, lunchmeat/cheese....and a jar of p-nut butter. All anyone could want for snacks. Listening to some Christian music, the day went well.  Although I did view a terrible accident, yet I saw a woman standing by talking to a police man, and no ambulance. It was God's grace she was not injured and standing there at all. I could not make out what she had been driving. It was so flat and upside down, that it probably only came as high as my hip!!  Praise God for His loving kindness toward this woman and her family. (dont you know they would have been freaked out if they knew)
I stayed at the motel I had stayed at last year- in Mt. Vernon just before entering St. Louis, MO.

Day 2: dark sky all day.  Severe weather forcast for the day with large hail storm and heavy rain due to hit in afternoon. Coming from West to East.  GREAT, I'm traveling East to West so our paths should cross! Well, it didn't.  It continued to be very dark clouds at times, then lighten up some, I think I drove in a mist maybe 5 minutes the whole day.  It did get windy at times, but nothing to bad. haha, just slowed down a bit so trailer wouldn't sway. Although there were acouple close calls. One was me changing into the lane to my right, no-one there, (lots of traffic at this point) so I start to merge left, as I enter the lane, RIGHT ON MY TRAILER is a HUGE TRUCK! ugghhh- He must have merged to his left at the exact same time! PRAISE GOD the truck driver did not hit my trailer.

I was almost to my stopping destination for the day, when I heard on the radio, that 2 (two) tornado's had touched down near St. Louis, MO!  The storm had PASSED RIGHT OVER ME!  WOW!
I found a motel with a jacuzzi and indoor pool~ and right next door is a Wendy's.  haha how much better can it get? (ok ok, an In-N-Out Burger) (for my Eastern USA friends, that's the BEST hamburger place in CA & NV) but still, this is good.  Every resturant and Hotel I've eaten at or stayed at has been friendly... even at the gas stations. Clean facilities. Like I said, I've been blessed to receive His mercy and grace (everyday) but especially these past two days.

Tomarrow fortells SNOW toward the end of my day.  I feel a sense of peace. I do not know what the day will bring, as I never do. But, I do not feel anxious about the weather. I know my God is with me. He is my protector and anything that I go through, He is with me.  I do not "have" to be there at any specific time, so I do not 'have' to push my way there. I can get a place close to storm, but not quite in it... LOL... look at me trying 'to figure it out'... when I just said, I do not know what the day brings.  How foolish to waste my time debating the what if's.... precious time is wasted doing it.  Not just now, but in everyday life. Worrying? I can change nothing- certainly not the weather.  
I do however, accept continued prayer from my brothers and sisters in Christ for travel mercies.  I believe prayer does make a difference- I have felt the power of prayer since leaving NC.

{Gen 6:8 NKJV} - But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
He gave me grace, just as He gave Noah grace ~ (He saved Noah's life, and today He saved mine)

{Gen 19:19 NKJV} - "Indeed now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have increased your mercy which you have shown me by saving my life; but I cannot escape to the mountains, lest some evil overtake me and I die.
The Lord IS good. He IS light, in Him there is NO darkness at all.  He IS truth. His truth shall set you free.

{Isa 50:10 NKJV} - "Who among you fears the LORD? Who obeys the voice of His Servant? Who walks in darkness And has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD And rely upon his God.

{1Jo 1:5 NKJV} - This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
{Jhn 8:32 NKJV} - "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

{Jhn 14:6 NKJV} - Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
{Jhn 3:16 NKJV} - "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

{Jhn 3:17 NKJV} - "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
 He saved my soul, and today He saved this life He gave me. Thank you Jesus my Lord, for your loving kindness toward me.

Time to rest. (again)

Grace, peace and mercy be with each person who reads this blog;
In Jesus name, Amen
