Today at Canal Day in Chesapeake City, our mission group from church prepared and sold breakfast to raise funds for our upcoming trip to Maine. Last year I was unable to attend this trip because I couldn't`t find vacation coverage to run my Little Debbie route. However, this year will be a different story; I am anxious to see what God has in store for me in Maine.
I must admit that I have questioned my decision to quit my job, am I listening to God! Has He lead my decision? Yes, I believe so, this has been a long time coming and it didn`t feel right until just recently. I have also experienced the same emotions and questions that I felt as I closed Curves and embarked in a new direction. With faith in God I will be confident in my decision.
Back to Canal Day, this is a day of celebrate when the town is invaded by hundreds of vendor selling their goods through out the town. It originally started as a means for nonprofit to fund raise. In addition to bargain seekers, a local bar and restaurant has attracted boaters for a day of drinking and partying on the water. The town is consumed by thousands of people for the entire day. Thank God, there is peaceful existence for all.
Mark was one of many talented vendor displaying and selling his beautiful photography. His car got the source of my attention, it was a very small, smart car type, that was painted with gorgeous landscape and scripture. Prayer, something? .com
Mark was maneuvering from his wheel chair as he set up his artwork, he was in an accident several years ago and now will spend the rest of his life in his wheel chair. But as God often does He has taken Mark`s tragedy and used it for good. It seems that Mark`s car attracts attention wherever he goes and in the pass 9 months in his travels Mark has prayed with over 4500 people. He also blogs!
Of course I asked Mark if he would pray for me, in the busy street we prayed. Thank you God, for Mark and the lives that he touches for Your Glory.
Compared to Mark, it looks like I`m lagging behind in my prayers, maybe God wants me to pray full time. I can just see my big brown truck painted to glorify God and to attract those in need of prayer! I`m ready.
Luke 9:23-24 The he said to them all; if anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it.
