Here I am nearing my stopping point for the day – Houston Hobby Airport. Overall, I felt really good except for my left knee. I anticipated having some tightness occur because it bothers me from time to time. There was an 80% chance of rain all day, but I only experienced a few sprinkles here and there. Once I turned off my light, hopped in the car with mom, and headed back to her house, the skies opened up! It rained although home and throughout the night. I guess someone is watching out for me, eh?

I asked Mother to take a pic of the business sign where I stopped so that I could easily pick up where I left off. However, until preparing these pics to post, I never read what it said: “Life is the sum of all your choices.”

How fitting and how perfect! I posted a message earlier today expressing my frustration due to the backlog of work that I needed to have finished before January 15 arrived. However, life doesn’t always tie together in a neat bow. Things go sideways, and I have a choice as to whether or not I allow myself to bend sideways with it or completely give up.

I’ve never given up on anything. If anything, I may hang around in situations a little too long because I never accept the notion that something cannot be done. Despite now having to adjust “my plans” already on the second day of the walk, I am very excited about this venture. Although I don’t know how or to what extent, I know deep in my heart that my efforts along with the efforts of those who support the Coalition will have a huge impact on this thing called life.

I’m tired. I need rest, and I have work to do. I have a rest day tomorrow but will be back on the road Monday.

Am I worried? Not at all. Am I scared? Not at all. I am not alone. God is leading the way. Jesus is walking beside me. The angels have my back, and my ancestors have blazed the trail before me. All I have to do is trust and follow.

Until next time,
