A couple of things first:
1.I want to apologize for photobucket, while it can hold more photos it's not as easy to arrange your pictures and so things might seem a bit hectic.
2.I want to apologize for the length of that last post.
and moving right along....
Since our last post Gary, Bailey, Howie, Amber, Marcus, and myself have spent the last week working on this International Harvester that G-d has so graciously gifted to us. We've been blessed and blessed by so many people and so many opportunities. Our friend Bill who picked us up hitch-hiking hasn't stopped being a blessing to us by any means, and his house mates Russ and Maureen have carried on in this tradition. The Lord has continued to provide for us in ways we could have never expected including minor conversations at The Waffle House.
Not to mention what we've begun to learn about being in a traveling community with each other.
We've completely ripped out the entire insides of the bus that you may have seen and begun our work in placing in a kitchen, a bathroom, a couple of bunk beds, rope ladders for the emergency exits in the roof, some couches, and lots of nooks and crannies for storage.
The bus officially runs like a beaut! Air-brakes, lights and all!
And the entire outside has begun it's transformation into a canvas that I'm sure will have dozens and dozens of coats by the end of it's life. (seeing that we've decided to let any one who pleases paint our bus whenever they want.
And while our days have been spent working on the bus, our evening have been filled with good fellowship and lots of church visits.
In fact I've officially been to a service where multiple people have been "slain in the spirit" and passed out after being touched by the ministers. And I still don't know what to think.
The other night after one of these services at the House of Prayer here in Edgewater,FL we had the opportunity to fellowship with the two pastors. Their loving kindness just continues to make me ask more questions.
Even they admitted that it probably was unlikely for the pastors in this branch of the faith to purposefully push over their congregation members for show. Yet if people really are gather in G-d's name how does this stuff happen? But then again how does most of the corruption happen in churches these days if people really are gather in G-d's name? Have we really missed it by that much?
But I don't know about all that. In fact that night paster Vicki prophesied over me that I had a lot of questions and the G-d was telling me not to worry about them.
Don't really know what to make of that either.
I'm sure more thoughts will come with more time of reflection. But as for now, we're trying to leave Daytona Beach Area tomorrow with our bus to head back to Clearwater to get some things welded and fixed for us and then with many more lessons learned about denying oneself and picking up the cross, this bus will get going north.
More to come soon
