5...er make that 4... Months and Counting

Skyseeker original calendar by skyseeker on Flickr

     This is it folks! Five Four months from now I'll be huddled up in a tent somewhere having just finished my first day of walking across the US. But I got a long way to go and a lot to get done before I get there. I realize that I had originally said I wanted to post once a month, and I apologize for failing on that one. I also realize that I promised a post months ago about ways you can get involved and never wrote it...sorry about that too!

     So what all have I accomplished so far in the way of planning and preparations? I mean, it's been months since my last post so I've probably gotten a lot done since then, right? HA! If only. Basically, I've established that thus far I'm going alone (I had a friend who had volunteered to go with me for the first few months but then backed out), I've gotten a brainstorming/planning buddy to help me get things ironed out, and I've bought and been reading How to Walk Across America (And Not Be an A**hole) by Tyler Coulson. Despite the colorful title, it really has been very insightful and helped me kinda figure out where my planning needs to go next.
   
      But now it's time for all the theories and ideas to start growing into action. I got to buy gear, figure out how I'm getting to my starting point, figure out where I'm going from my ending point and how I'm getting there, and a host of other important preparations, all while trying to graduate college, helping out at my church, and helping launch a new coffee-shop ministry. Let it never be said that I'm not ambitious. Let it also never be said that I'm not totally stark-raving bonkers! But I can do all things through Him, right?

     So with that disclaimer, let me just clarify that I have no idea how often I'll be able to check in here during the next few months, but I'm definitely going to make more of an effort to make sure it isn't another five months before I post again.

     So while you wait for the latest update, go check out Active Water and find out more about the great work they're doing in Africa. And spread the word like crazy and get people to jump in and support this awesome cause!!! I mean that's what this is all about in the end: getting clean water to the people of Zambia in the name of Jesus. Hope to have a little more progress to share with y'all in a month or three....

Prayer Needs:
- Pray for my studies as I finish up my final semester here at Mid-South Christian College.
- Pray for God to bless my fundraising efforts, because I'm pretty new to all this.
- Start praying now for good weather during my walk... If we start praying now and keep it up, maybe I'll be able to avoid any tornadoes in Kansas and Blizzards in Colorado.
- Still would like a support vehicle for UT, NV, and southern CA...but that'll take an act of God, so keep praying!!!
- Pray that God would help me figure out my entry and exit plans...getting to the start point and leaving the end point.
