It is more humbling than anything else, and never ceases to inspire a sense of awe within me.<br /><br />I know there is nothing I can say to encourage you to relax about finding a place to camp - but relax anyway. At the beginning of our last trip I used to get really nervous if nght was approaching and we didn't know where we would sleep. But night after night after night we found a place - someplace, anyplace. After a while I found myself joking - "OK God, you can do your thing now. We need a place to sleep." And the funniest part was that I KNEW HE would do exactly that.<br /><br />Give yourself some time - you'll come to that realization too.<br /><br />Nancy<br />www.familyonbikes.orgFamily on Bikeshttp://www.familyonbikes.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758230923722877355.post-16624417980483966242009-04-28T23:15:00.000-04:002009-04-28T23:15:00.000-04:00And here I am afraid to endure in REAL human conta...And here I am afraid to endure in REAL human contact... perhaps because of my ungracious past.
