A month ago I was in Boise and a random kid said, "your hair is savage" and went on to talk about naked hippie colonies... awkward...walking away now...
Technically our random outreach week has ended, and we returned to "normal" lecture phase schedule, only on the road. So from San Francisco we drove a couple hours north to “The Lord’s Land.” We spent 3 days there having lectures with one of our speakers, instead of having him fly out to us. It was great to have class in the living room by the fireplace.
Without the distractions of cell phones or internet, we spent our free time being refreshed walking in the woods, exploring the little tourist town, and watching the sunset on the beach.
I don’t think any of us wanted to leave. Saturday we realized it was a bit presumptuous to assume we were going home the next day. So we prayed about it. We felt we could go home now, and we would have had a nice road trip, were stretched a bit and grew some, and saw God provide for us in amazing ways.
BUT God has more for us.
I thought of how when we pulled into The Lord’s Land, we were excited by what we saw, and eagerly got out of the van.
We were shown to our cabins and entered excitedly, looking around…We entered the cabin, saw the bathroom and said, “That is the coolest shower ever!”
But why settle for seeing just that? What’s behind this other door? What is upstairs? What else is outside? What do the other cabins look like? Where does this trail go? That is how I feel about this road trip. Why would you stop at the first cabin when there is so much more to discover?
So there is more to come, and I cannot wait to see what it is…
