Yes, it's true. I've been traveling around the United States of America for 6 months. We started in September and were on break for December and tomorrow we will start Month #7 on the road.
Since our team returned from Christmas break, we have spent most of our time in Texas with the exception of two conferences: Duncan, OK and Sulphur, LA. Currently I'm at my host home in Graham, TX, we concluded an 8 day conference last Sunday.
As I think over my life over the past few months, I realize it is quite an adventure. Life always has its ups and downs and I've been able to see God provide for me. I now own a red Sony VAIO laptop. It amazes me when I stop and look at what God has provided me with. I'm amazed to have a new laptop without having to pay a cent for it.
Another provision of the Lord was while I was in San Saba, TX. I was running low on money and we were about to go on Spring Break. Because the break was split up into two parts and only a few days I wasn't able to go away for a break. I knew I would need money to go and do things in San Antonio. Well...I shared my need with one of the girls on my team and that very day the Lord provided $140 between two different people.
Recently the Lord has provided again. I was in need of a couple of things from Wal-Mart and once again was low on cash. I was trying to trust in God's timing but that's not always easy. Well God used my host parent to provide me the money that I needed. They have no clue how much of a blessing they were to me. God used them to show me "Yes, Shawntay! I will continually provide for you." I don't know why it's so hard to trust that God will provided. He can do anything and I am continually learning that.
It seems like there's so much I could write about but it's getting late so I better get to bed. Tomorrow is another long day.
