Start of NC Mountains to Sea Trail

"As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God." (Psalm 42:1)

Today I began the second half of this journey Westward towards Thomasville. I started to hike Section 10 of the North Carolina Mountains to Sea Trail. This section is about 79 miles and follows the Southern shoreline of Falls Lake and ends after going through Eno River State Park. Today I as able to complete about 28 miles. It was great to be in the woods today, surrounded by nature, and not having to dodge so many cars. I also met a gentleman on the trail named Lamson. We struck up a conversation, and he was telling me how he was starting to prepare to walk the Appalachian Trail next year. I was able to explain to him the purpose for me hiking, and I was also able to pray with him. You never know who the Lord will put before you. I am thankful for what the Lord has shown me so far throughout this journey, and how He is providing for the Emmanuel Home. I can not wait to see what He will do next.
