Day 4,5,6 of the Journey


Yellowstone was amazing. I wish I could have spent more time there, but I must keep going. I like Yellowstone but I think that the drive in from Cody was as stunning if not more stunning then Yellowstone.

Day 3 of the Journey

Day three was very intense, beautiful, and tiring. I traveled over 450 miles and every place I went I was captivated by the Beauty of the land. Two of my favorite parts were the caves and the trip up the mountain. I Would have to say that the drive up the mountain was the sweetest and the most exciting thing I have ever done in my life. It was awesome!

Day 2 of the Journey

I'm still in South Dakota. I'm roughly 25 miles from Mt. Rushmore. Today I went through the Badlands they were very beautiful. Wait a minute. I would have to say they were more than beautiful, they were captivating.

Genesis 1:10 God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good.

Psalm 34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good;How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!

Day 1 of the Journey

After a little bit of a delay I have finally started the journey to Redding, CA. After driving roughly 875 miles, I can say I'm really tired. I have never driven that long before. It has been an amazing trip so far. I have had little to no traffic. ( Thank you Jesus! ) Driven through 7 states and have crossed the mighty Mississippi rive. I would have never thought that I would have ever done that. As I look back at my short, but intense walk with Jesus. I'm amazed at the things He has changed in my heart and the places He has takes me. None of which I thought I would ever happen. It is amazing what kind of things happen when you just let go. I was a hard, angry, vengeful, worried, scared, not confident, sad, depressed, and longing for some thing not knowing what it was. I went though most of my life tiring to fill these things with working out, sports, friends, drinking, pornography, and sex. I did all these things none of them gave me the peace, joy, confidence, strength, mercy, grace, and most important love that my Jesus has. Many would say that I'm crazy for saying that some invisible person / thing has done all this for me. I would gladly and proudly stand up and shot, "Yes!, Yes! He has given all this to me and much more!" It is crazy the things you will do when you fall in love with someone. Jesus I can't thank you enough for all that you have done and will do. You are truly amazing and I love you so much. I thank you for all the awesome friends and family you have given me. They have touch my life in such an awe-inspiring way. Words would not do it justice.
