Oklahoma You're OK

Here we are in Oklahoma City. We arrived yesterday after spending a night In Dallas with some dear saints, Jim and Mary Speight. I had met them a few years back when I stayed with them for a few days after an herb conference in Dallas. We had a short, but sweet stay with them and also attended the first 2 meetings of the video training. It was hard to leave so quickly and I wish we had planned to stay longer, but we kept moving after going out to lunch. On the way here we stopped for gas, kind of out in the middle of nowhere. I had gone in to pay in advance -- they don't have pumps that you can use a credit card in -- and Stan struck up a conversation with a man who was pumping next to him. The man asked Stan what he did since we had the big work van with the ladder racks on it. Stan told him what we were doing -- travelling and working and heading to a Bible training in California. While Stan was speaking the man put his hand on his shoulder and started praying for us that we would be blessed in all that we were doing!! We were told later by friends that this is a proper welcome in Oklahoma.

We arrived in OK City just in time for the training meeting, but we actually saw a repeat of the second video we had seen in Dallas. During the break I saw someone we had known in Montana and hadn't seen in about 25 years!! We are taking hospitality with a young couple. Natalie, the wife of the couple used to be in Irvine and has spent quite a bit of time with Nathan and Crystal in their home when they lived there. Again, small world.

We have reached a kind of empty spot in our plans. We aren't sure where we are going after this. There is not enough time to go to Arizona and we finish the first half of the training tomorrow Sunday night, so we could potentially leave here on Monday morning. We have to be in Albuquerque on Thursday. So we are before the Lord as to what He would have us to do. This is the time where we walk by faith that something will work out. It is kind of exciting to look forward to what the Lord might arrange. I'll lhave to let you know when it happens.
