Day 2: 38 miles in. Right at 20 miles today and my body FEELS it but my mind is strong in spirit and faith. Today God crossed paths with my first experience with a non believer. Lee is his name keep him in your prayers as god works in his heart. I pray he will call me when he needs someone. I am able to see exactly what Jesus came here for. To seriously love everyone He comes into contact with. Meeting them right there in whatever mess they are in. Not to condemn but to love. Makes so much sense WHY GOD has me doing this. He may be the +1 that God sent me to go after. For me it was about that one. That one too afraid or too ashamed or too angry to step into church doors. God will always find a way to reach each of his children. It's up to us to plant those seeds and God will do the watering. We all have free will but God will always find you where you are and speak to you. It is up to us to open our eyes, our ears, our hearts to hear GOD. He speaks in a whisper and we do have to just be still and listen to hear him. God uses people to speak to others. And I just KNOW Had me right there today for LEE. He goes after the 1 and so am I. It is all simply about LOVE.
“If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost? And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he will rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that didn’t wander away! In the same way, it is not my heavenly Father’s will that even one of these little ones should perish.
Matthew 18:12-14 NLT

End of day yesterday after setting up camp. Pray for mental strength as missing home is heavy so early.
“You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Matthew 5:43-48 NLT

For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.
Romans 3:23-24 NLT
