Week Six - My People

 



These are my people. They are sweet, considerate, silly, life-giving, loving, flexible and just a lot of fun. Most of all they are faithful followers of Jesus. This means everything to me. Of all the beautiful hikes, drives, scenery and wildlife, 
time spent with them in the kitchen, at the picnic table and around the campfire tops it all. 



In the Bible, Ruth, a foreigner, said to Naomi her Jewish mother-in-law, “your people will be my people and your God will be my God”. Ruth found a relationship she did not want to lose and a community where she wanted to belong. That is what I found in Bible Study Fellowship. Studying God’s word through BSF changed my life. Through it I found a relationship with Jesus I’d never known and a fellowship with inter-denominational believers that expanded (more accurately, exploded) my view of God’s people. I’m so excited for this year’s study People of the Promise: Exile & Return to begin next week. It’s easy to find a class, sign up and buy the book at joinbsf.com. Class options are in-person or online. For 30 years we’ve done in-person, but this year while traveling and moving we’re excited to try online. 

Kaysi spent hours researching and planning our week in Glacier. She knew how to navigate every aspect of the park from timed entry passes, best hikes, right time of the day for wildlife and photos to top rated restaurants. 
Thanks tour guide Kaysi!
She is also our family photographer so I share some of her beautiful photos…

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...
