Tour With Me in Indiana…

1/6/08
Day 2 on the road!!

We have been living in community on the tour buss without killing anyone for the past 36 hours!!

Everyone seemed especially excited about getting to stop last night in Canton Ohio, for a much needed hot meal and bed to sleep in, compliments of Megan Wilson a past YWAM “PADTSer” who understands the ins and outs of tour very well! The host families were angels in disguise as usual, I myself getting a huge king size bed to sleep in, with the birthday girl of today, January 6th!!! Lizzy Marlow. She is exceptionally thrilled about getting the royal treatment on tour today, including first dibs on all bathroom stops, and Ajay Samuels has threatened to “carry her” wherever we go today! Right now she is fast asleep with her darling little froggy sleeping mask, and nostalgic Harry potter blanket. Happy 19th Birthday Lizzy, enjoy your prolonged bathroom visits!!!

We will arrive in Hartford City, Indiana at Wildwood Acres campground at approx-imately 1pm, owned by our extremely magnanimous bus driver Don and his wife Sharon Bole! For the past 2 years, we have been continually blown away by the servant heart of this man! We will get a wonderful rest there tonight in a communal room. (No worries the boys and girls are always carefully separated by their vigilant staff!! )

Isaiah James Ryder And Jenny Rose!!!

I had the wonderful privileged of going to Kansas City for Christmas, New Years, and my 21st Birthday!!! I am so excited that I also got to be in town for the birth of my beautiful new nephew Isaiah James Ryder!! He was born Christmas Eve 8lbs and 6oz. He was warmly welcomed by his parents Matthew and Song, and his big brother, who is more precocious than ever, Levi! I also got to spend special time with my sister whom I haven’t seen in a whole year!! She took me out for a very fabulous birthday date!! And my mamma also joined the wonder 2 days after Christmas with her own bag of goodies!! She made me the most beautiful– “Ariel Shell”– necklace I have ever had, I say it’s for me to put my voice in! I am so happy I got to spend time with her she’s so fun to be around!! Being at IHOP was lovely although I was extremely preoccupied by my fund raising push, for my upcoming ( in only 3 days!!) outreach to Indiana with YWAM!! All prayers are highly appreciated! I KNOW the Lord with provide! Happy NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
