Made it to Odum Home!

"The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps." (Prov. 16:9)

Well 104 miles down, 496 to go! I completed the first leg of this journey today by stopping at Baptist Children's Homes of NC Odum Home in Pembroke. I had the joy of talking to Kathy Locklear, director of Odum Home, and Keith Hill, one of the house parents for the boys home at Odum. It was great spending time with them and hearing how the Lord led them to serve with BCH. We also had the chance to spend some time with the boys of the Latta Harnett Cottage as well. These children all come from hard situations, but the Lord has called men and women like Kathy and Keith to pour into their lives and tell them about their Heavenly Father who loves them. It was such a blessing to meet them, and I am thankful for the ministry of Baptist Children's Homes and all the lives that are touch through this ministry. I will be taking a couple days to rest, and then Lord willing I will continue my walk from Pembroke to Kinston on Thursday. Thank you all for your support and prayers. Please continue to pray for safety along this journey, and that the Lord would be glorified through it.
