Week Four - Flat and Habitat

 
The week began with a beautiful sunrise over the goat farm. It was extra special since I love sunrises and it was my birthday (62 woo!). We left early so we could make it to Cut Bank, Montana for church. 

When we stopped at a cafe for breakfast Jeff discovered a tire completely blown out. Jeff didn't have the right tool for the problem. Breakfast and church were within walking distance and both were awesome. 

In this tiny church of 20 people there was a mechanic with the tool needed to replace the tire. He led us to his shop. 

And fixed it in five minutes. 😇
God is so cool. It is a joy to see how He works. We aren’t going to church to check any boxes or to get divine intervention when we need it. We want to worship God and hear Him speak and see Him working in different places. That is the adventure. 

Next stop Kalispell, Montana - These are the Care A Vaners. This is an opportunity for RV travelers to go to a Habitat for Humanity location and volunteer two weeks of building.

It’s not pretty being parked behind Habitat’s ReStore, 
but there are still sunrises. 

This Mountain Ash has captured my awe. It’s next to the Habitat house where we’re working. 

This house is for Sam and her two children. 

Habitat encourage its volunteers to write blessings on the doorframes. 


In his element

A “foot” note: After five days on steroids last week for my swollen feet, the swelling returned plus some. So back to see another NP at a walk in clinic. This one was wonderful. She took X-rays and ran labs. Now I’m on 16 days of steroids and waiting on labs for answers. I’ll have to say I painted half of the inside of that house by myself, two coats and without a wink of sleep the night before. God is good all the time.

Week One - Goodbye Indiana

Image
 We have officially left Indiana, but our Indiana adventure will never leave us. I never want to forget all God taught us and did for us in Indiana. The greatest blessing was the people He brought into our lives. He taught me that home is where He is. He showed me how He could provide everything that I needed as I left everything to go where He said to go. So, we didn’t leave Indiana without His clear call. Leviticus 25 is where we heard Him direct us to a Sabbath year and a return to our homeland Arkansas. This is our Shabbat Adventure with the Lord.  I’m writing this because a few friends and family want to go along and see pictures of the places we visit. We have some really sweet and caring friends and family! Thank you for wanting to follow us and share in our adventures. I’m sure God has a plan and purpose in it all and I want to share that most of all. A few highlights from week One: Our last night on the back patio of our Indiana home. First stop  Chain O Lakes - ...

Week Three - Flowers and Goats

Image
 This week in pictures… I’ve been looking forward to this one stop for a long time. The UP Flower Farm - another Harvest Host that allows RVs to park overnight at their business. It was a young family of six with a flower garden in the front yard. They allow people to pick a bouquet from their garden for $25. They spread a lot of joy to others and put in a good word for Jesus in the process.  Next stop Apostle Islands National Lakeshore - 22 islands in Lake Superior. We toured to one called Raspberry Island and toured a lighthouse.  Next heading west in the UP was Voyagers National Lakeshore. We heard the majestic sound of loons calling to each other, but missed getting it on video. I did capture two pelicans and an interesting creature at the end of the video.  Overnight stay at an air museum in Minot North Dakota.  We made it to the goat farm in Montana - met the farmer and his wife. He showed us how to milk a goat and she explained her art of making soap. I f...

Week Two - Up in the UP

Image
 We headed north for several stops in Michigan: Muskegon State Park, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, an overnight stop at a winery (yes, we spent the night in a vineyard), then a quick stop in Mackinaw City to see a friend camping there before crossing the Mackinac bridge into the Upper Peninsula (UP), first stop Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore on Lake Superior (the largest fresh water lake in the world)! Some highlights… We camped right on the sand dunes of Lake Michigan at Muskegon State Park.  We put our kayaks on the Platte River in Sleeping Bear Dunes and paddled down where it emptied into Lake Michigan.  Harvest Hosts are a network of businesses that allow RV travelers to park at their business overnight for free. This was a winery in Charlevoix MI.  At Pictured Rocks we couldn’t put our kayaks on the rough waters of Lake Superior but we found beautiful Beaver Lake.  From the campground a view of Lake Superior at sunset. The haze is from the Cana...
