2006 Rumble Across 4 States 4 Him


Gainesville, FL       Friday, March 31st

Miles traveled:  127

  The very first day of my trip started with me not being ready - so what else is new?  I'm always waiting until the very last second.  Maybe it adds a sense of excitement, I don't know... Fortunately, my boss allowed me to take half a vacation day.  We met at the church at 2, and left about 2:20 after a safety review and awesome prayer led by Dave McClamma.  Our caravan consisted about 18 bikes, a pickup with trailer, and and motor home with trailer.  The second group of people were leaving at 6:00.The trip up was beautiful, with perfect temperature and white, puffy clouds.  

 

  We arrived safely in Gainesville, got our luggage, and I went to dinner with three other guys.  Our server, Amanda, told us of her anxiousness of trying to get into nursing school after not being accepted twice.  She also told us that her car was being repaired after an accident. We prayed for her while she was there at the table, and she told us a little about her spiritual background, which included being dragged to church by her mom. She has not been trying to find a local fellowship, but she did express her desire to start going to church again.  She also said she was saved - so pray that God will work in her life to prompt her to find a fellowship, and then that He will to do mighty things for her as a result of her faithfulness and obedience.
