I’ve finally made it to the end of this stint of meetings in PA. I’m thankful for how the Lord has helped me throughout the time, but I’m also looking forward to getting off the road, getting out of my suitcase, and getting to “home” in Greenville. I had to speak only once today, but that brings me to a total of 36 times speaking and doing so in 15 churches. The Lord really helped me to present my burden well at this church and the last one. At the last one I had to speak 6 different times at their missions conference. It was a blessing to minister in so many different ways, and I enjoyed spending time with the pastor, his family, the church people, and the other missionaries.
Tomorrow morning I’ll begin heading to Greenville. I’m going to stop in Rocky Mount, NC, to stay with some friends and meet some pastors on Tuesday. Then, I’ll go to Fayetteville, NC, to visit some other friends on my way to Greenville. I should arrive late in the evening on Tuesday, if all goes well. Please pray for safety and good fellowship with the Lord during the trip. I can’t wait to see family and friends in Greenville!
BTW, you notice that I put home in quotation marks. That’s because it’s hard for me to know exactly where home is. Technically, I’ve made Grand Rapids my headquarters, but I don’t have a place of my own yet. Since I still have a bedroom in Greenville, that seems more like home. But most of my stuff is now in Grand Rapids, so Greenville is no longer the same as it used to be. In May of 2010 I plan on getting my own place in Grand Rapids, so I’ll finally be able to end this confusion! I’m looking forward to have a place that I can call MINE!
BTW, thanks to all those who prayed for me to have strength at the end of this road trip. I could sense the Lord encouraging me soon after I put my last post up. That was a tremendous blessing!
