crapid

i'm in crapid city now!

thursday morning started rather slow...

hoping to be outta gering area by 8:30ish... we didn't leave until 10:30ish.

due to a frequency of waiting on the side of the road and learning that God knows what He's doing with that time, it was easier to trust that everything was good!

i was stunned at the fast weather change. 

being in the 50s at the start, we quickly noticed frost build up on plants, road signs, and barbed wire fences as we drove further north towards chadron.

after an hour spend warming up while my pops and i munched on a belated breakfast...

i unoccupied the passenger seat and started a rhythmatic strut north.

frequently turning my face south because of the sting the wind left, i breathed into my gloves and watched a small daewoo pull over in a kind gesture to save me from the cold....

shortly later i found out the sting felt on my face was from a below -8 degree wind...

at first thought about getting back to rapid, i hoped to catch rides through the black hills, but was content with  staying on a straight path to keep from massive confusion...

however, this daewoo of two people was headed to custer and let me out close crazy horse monument...

the weather had again quickly changed but for the better. i walked for close to a mile when my new ride pulled over and the cab of his pickup was quickly filled with conversation as we made out way through the black hills....    and to crapid city.

i think every part of this trip has had it's benefits.

while out on the road waiting, usually it's just me...and God, which makes for amazing worship and prayer, or conversing with Him.

after someone picks me up, more great conversation. usually filled with life stories and testimonies....

but occasionally we will find small talk which can quickly turn deep (and frequently does)

and while staying at somebody's home, it makes for much free time to do as one pleases, but i find myself on long walks filled with more worship and whatever may come along.

already the time spend here has given me great joy. 

thank you everyone who continually prays for me. 

i received an e-mail from the ywam berlin that they have all my references and will be contacting me within the next week or two.

my finances stand at $1040 usd, and $2075 is required plus a roundtrip ticket to germany.

i can't thank enough all of you who have given to this cause.

i'm stoked to see how My Provider will bring the rest of what is needed in when it is needed.

but trust me, you will hear about it if you're not already part of it...

Thank You Daddy for calling us to something greater than ourselves. for creating us to need relationships. to need a relationship with You as well as others around us. thank You for giving us the perfect example that we could know how to treat and love others the way You do. help us not limit You in our lives, but live with our eyes focused on the impossible. with our hearts leading our steps.

thank You for providing and blessing me with everything i need at just the right time. 

stretch us. 

we love You, and praise You for Your love!

in Jesus name, amen!

another novella type blog, but minus the apologizes. 

if there is some issue in your family.... don't wait to pray about it. and don't stop praying until something gets done. i assure you it is THAT worth it and so much more.

much love....israel
