Happy Independance Day

 July 4, 2022

After spending the night in Sams Club parking lot, I noticed yesterday and today, there was a snow cone stand that had 4 wheels and looked like a fun car but was actually a trailer that was pulled by it's owner by a car.  There was a young man that was working in the stand and I noticed his attitude was good the whole day and even after the store was closed and there was no one but me in the lot, he was acting like he had a parking lot full.  It was the 4th of July and the parking lot was full, business was good,  I knew that I was susposed to talk to him but I had to wait until there were no customers.  I went up to the stand and said HI, he had a great smile and I asked him if he knew Jesus.  He said yes! And he loved the Lord and  we talked he shared that he was 18 and had been saved since last year in June.  I told him Happy Birthday and we continued to talk.  I told him that the light of Jesus was shining through him and he told me that it was his goal to make 40 people smile every day.  Wow!  It was so great to meet a Teen that was sold out to Jesus and had such a god attitude.  I gave him my card and he put it in his wallet.

I couldn’t reach Michael and I noticed as I looked at the Thousand Trails information that there were only two Thousand Trails RV resorts in Tennesee and the one closest to Michael was the one I had been to in 2016 traveling to California.  I was thinking that it was much further north.  It was about 30 miles beyond there Michael was.

Just to explain, I am a member of Thousand Trails which is like a time share for RV parks.  My husband and I got a free membership for just the East coast region.  That meant we could stay at any of the RV parks in the system on the East Coast for nominal annual fee.  In 2016, I upgraded my Membership to Nationwide, now I have access to all of their Parks plus another sister RV park system so I can stay in TT parks 2-3 weeks and then go out for a week to the sister park, or go directly to another TT park for another 2-3 wks,  So that means for a nominal monthly fee, I can stay all the time in TT parks free, where ever they are as long as I can book the reservation. 

Shay and I talked for a long time, Shay, prayed a mighty prayer. And Gary was Fasting and she had joined him and I felt led to fast also.

I left and the RV park was about an hour and a half away.  I missed my turn and and had to go to the next turn shich was about 6 miles and found it and was able to check in although I couldn't reach the reservation people because it was a holiday.  I checked in for 3 days, thinking I may not stay that long (bu$t I did.)  It was hot and as soon as I hooked up to the water and electric ( I don't have a sewer hook up on this site but I already dumped my tanks, so I'm OK.  I started the Airconditioner, and then, the electric went off.  It was later in the day and and I opened 2 windows and ran the overhead exhaust fan all night and that was OK as it did get cooler and I slept well.  It was good to have plenty of water also.  The site I am in is next to the bath house and landry, taking a shower and washing my hair was HIGH PRIORITY!  Also washing clothes, which I did too.

 I heard firworks, but I didn't see any.
