After every Winter comes a Spring.

Well, I am still in Texas and still not in El Paso.  I saw lots of interesting "road kill",  Seemed like 25-30 deer, a coyote, Eagles, ground hogs,  other birds, a fox, and a lot I couldn't identify.  Very windy and cool.  I pulled into a "Picnic Area"(Rest stop with no restroom) to take a break and the Lord said, "stay the night".  It was about 4 PM and still a lot of daylight left and I was the only one in the Picnic Area, I wasn't sure it was legal to stay overnight, it was desert and nothing around.  Sometimes I object to the guidance of the Lord, forgetting that He has my(and yours) best interest at heart, ALWAYS. But, I was obedient and stayed. 

This is just one of the good things about having Jesus on board, He knows the future!  I looked at the weather report on my phone, and their was a wind warning for my area, 35 mile an hour winds with gusts up to 60 mph on the road ahead, warning for Campers, RVs, and high profile vehicles until 6 PM.  I had been dealing with the wind all day and kept seeing permanent signs saying watch for high cross winds.  But on top of that, their was a wind storm! 

I found myself in an anxious state several times, white knuckling the steering wheel and had to calm myself down with the knowledge that Jesus would never leave me or forsake me and I would be OK as soon as the storm was over.  I was glad to take a break from the wind.  I closed myself up in the RV and went to bed early so I could get an early start.

Nov. 29, 2016

I woke up to a crowd of trucks, some even parked on the grass, who had also spent the night, so Jesus knew.

It is cold, 45 degrees, where is the South?  The way to El Paso is beautiful, I am beginning to see Joshua trees and the Guadalupe Mountains.  Yes, real mountains in Texas!  Wow, this journey really has opened my eyes to a lot of things about me.  I am such a "Know-it-All"!  I thought I remembered Texas and Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana a certain way and I expected a negative experience, based on "what I thought".  It has been so opposite of what "I thought" that I  am considering the possibility that, I may not know what I think I know. (Smiley face) Those of you who know me will be smiling.

I only saw 3 oil wells in all of my travel in Texas! WHAT? When I was here in 1965, I remember miles and miles and miles of oil wells and far as you could see.  Now they are beginning to put up wind mills for energy, THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE, with the wind and all. Things change. Only God doesn't change.

I thought about the wind mills,  The wind is invisible but has so much power, (like God), we just need to be in place, and be willing to receive Gods power, for it to work in our lives. (That will preach!)

On my way to somewhere closer to Las Vegas, no wind issues, overcast, perfect for driving and I got an early start.  AFTER EVERY WINTER COMES A SPRING!...... EVERY TIME!

I am in the Mountain time zone now, so am 2 hours earlier than Eastern.
