The Lord was very kind to me on this journey to California – in the first place, he provided a generous gift so that I could rent a car.
When I went to pick up the Dodge Neon I had signed up for, the rental agent gave me a Ford Mustang instead – a convertible, no less – for the same rate. God seems to enjoy spoiling us once in a while.
I enjoyed visiting overnight with Dave & Peggy Coots in Phoenix on my way west – they’re raising chickens to lay eggs! Took me back to my youth. The Missions Festival at San Gabriel Union Church was great, then I drove to San Jose and shared supper and a great time of fellowship with the Neighborhood Bible Church Global Outreach Team. They asked a lot of questions, which is always dangerous, since Eida wasn’t there to remind me to keep my answers brief.
The opportunities to catch up with old friends and spend time with family were the icing on the cake. Esther “happened” to be in Atascadero (her amazing friends had brought her to see Rafael Nadal play in the tournament at Indian Wells!) so we were able to have lunch together twice.
No doubt you can appreciate what a daunting task looms before her as she looks to the Lord to raise up her monthly support. How kind our gracious Father to arrange things so I could encourage her in person. Thank you for praying for our wonderful daughter.
