notes from the road

I feel like I’m dying.

Seriously, since I arrived in Nelson, I’ve had these awful never ending headaches and stomaches.

Maybe that’s why I don’t like it here.

That and the fact that I don’t have any friends. Haha.

It’s OK though – it’s just me and Jesus for now : )

Speaking of the creator of all that is amazing and inspiring in this world, on the morning that I left Ohio, this was my devotion for the day, January 7^th.

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go.” Psalms 32:8

The Shepard and Much-Afraid walked together through the burning desert sands; then one day, quite unexpectedly, a path crossed the main track which they were following. “This,” said the Shepherd quietly, “is the path which you are now to follow.” So they turned westward with the High Places right behind their backs and came in a little while to the end of the desert. They found themselves on the shore of a great sea.

The Shepherd said to Much-Afraid, “Remember, even though you seem to be farther away than ever from the High Places and from me, there is really no distance at all separating us. I can cross the desert sands as swiftly as I can leap from the High Places to the valleys, and whenever you call for me, I shall come. This is the word I leave with you. Believe it and practice it with joy. My sheep hear my voice and they follow me.

“Whenever you are willing to obey me, Much-Afraid, and to follow the path of my choice, you will always be able to hear and recognize my voice, and when you hear it you must always obey. Remember also that it is always safe to obey my voice, even if it seems to call you to paths which look impossible.”

Talk about divine timing.

Anyway…

Hopefully I’ll work more next week – I only worked 1 night this week as a “trial run”.

Also…

At the moment, I’m leaning towards keeping all my traveling plans for April & May vs. staying in Nelson to work. I mean, worst case scenario, I run out of money and have to sleep in a box and live off instant noodles for a while. No biggie.
