After arriving in Kinston yesterday, I decided to rest and spend time with my family today. We rested this morning and then decided to explore Kinston. Tomorrow I will begin my trek to Christian Adoption Services' office in Rocky Mount. Thank you all for your continued prayers and support.
Read MoreAfter another 21 miles today, I completed the second leg of my journey, and made it Baptist Children's Homes of NC Kennedy Home in Kinston. While here we had the opportunity to meet Krystal Redick. She and her husband are house parents for the girls cottage. She told us the story of how they became house parents, and even took the time to show us around the campus.
Read MoreOf all the things I prepared for, the one thing I did not prepare for was the loneliness, and at times, the helplessness you feel sometimes out there on the road by yourself all day. Yes, even though cars are flying past, you sometimes feel isolated and on your own. However, I am blessed to have a loving and supportive family, and most importantly I know the Love of my Heavenly Father, who calls me His own. No matter how alone I may feel at times, I always have the Comforter with me.
Read MoreThe weather cleared out today so I was able to leave White Lake and continue towards Kinston. I was able to travel lite, thanks to my pit crew, (Eliza and James), who helped me with my supplies throughout the day, and even brought me a cheeseburger for lunch. It has been truly a blessing to have my family with me along this journey. It reminds me of God's design for the family, and how blessed I am. We love, encourage, and support each other. With their help, I was able to complete 30 more miles today. I am looking forward to getting some rest and starting again tomorrow.
Read MoreThere was bad weather around the White Lake area this morning, and there was a chance of rain off and on all day, so I decided to not take any chances this early in the journey, and decided to rest today.
Read MoreWhile standing on a street corner in Elizabethtown this afternoon I was approached by a man named Eric who asked me what I was doing, and why I was walking. It gave me an opportunity to share with him about CAS and why I am doing this walk. He proceeded to tell me that he wished he had something purposeful to do in his life. That gave me an opportunity to share about how Hope and Purpose are found in Faith in Christ.
Read MoreAfter monitoring the weather, we decided to drive down to Pembroke to start the leg to Kinston this morning. We arrived in Pembroke around lunch time. The Lord held off the rain this afternoon, and I was able to get another 17 miles completed. We are so thankful for White Lake Christian Camp who will be hosting us the next few nights.
Read MoreToday was a little off schedule, but still productive. I had planned on taking today as a rest day, but as the weather does not look good later this week, I decided to change my schedule slightly and walk part of the route from Falls Lake Dam in Wake Forest towards Rocky Mount, so I could get some miles in, in case the weather puts me behind schedule.
Read MoreWell 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.
Read MoreToday was not a very exciting day, but I did make my way into a fourth county so far, and have worn out my second pair of shoes since starting to prepare for this walk. The Lord blessed me with good weather again today and by His grace I was able to get in about another 29 miles. Lord willing, I will make it Pembroke tomorrow afternoon. Thank you for continued prayers.
Read MoreToday I was able to walk around 32 miles and I am about 43 miles from Pembroke. I had a unique opportunity today to talk with and pray for Deputy Pierce of the Columbus County Sheriffs Department. He stopped me to ask me if I was ok and why I was walking. It gave me an opportunity to explain about the Emmanuel Home and pray with him.
Read MoreThe walk started off great. It was a blessing to see so many people come out at Caswell this morning to pray over the walk and send me on my way. It was also great to start the hike this morning with Keith Henry from BCH. I was able to get around 28 miles in today.
