Just wanted to check in and let you guys know what we’re up to.
First, an important bit of information: We ARE fully intending to hit the road again in a few short weeks. Although we’ve enjoyed our time with family and friends back home, we’re itching to get back on the road and pick up where we left off (literally…like in the exact same place we left off before in Colorado).
It’s weird because we’re also nervous about getting back out there and starting again. Those same concerns that made it hard to get out on the road the first time are nagging at us (mainly me, Mike), but we know that God was with us then and He’ll be with us again when we start walking in a few weeks.
We just hope you haven’t gotten tired of waiting for us to get back out on the road. Your prayers and encouragement are a HUGE part of what has made this journey so successful thus far, and we’re thankful to have such incredible friends and family supporting us in this adventure.
We’ll have another update soon. In the meantime, we’re going to continue preparing (both mentally and physically) for our return to the road. We’re already getting routes prepared and supplies pulled together, so the Lord is clearly re-lighting that fire in our hearts. We look forward to sharing more with you as more develops.
I wanted to leave you guys with a verse to consider, and I found one that couldn’t be more fitting for what’s happening in our lives. Hopefully it hits you the same way it hit us.
Ephesians 4:1 (New King James) – “I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called.”
Or, as it says in The Message version of the Bible: “I want you to get out there and walk—better yet, run!—on the road God called you travel.”
We may not be running out on that road, but we certainly plan to walk it, and we’re excited to have a chance to do it again in a few weeks! Thanks for sticking around during this rest time. We hope you’ll enjoy following along when we do resume the walk again.
-Mike and Linds (and Jaeda)

Linds,
I am so exited to follow you on your walk. I am so inspired by what you and Mike are doing. I will pray for you daily, and you let me know if there is anything I can help with, such as supplies, money, etc… I don’t have much but so want to help with this wonderful journey you and Mike are taking. I will miss seeing you, but will so keep in touch on here. God Bless you both and may your Journey be filled with Joy, Peace, Grace, Hope, and God’s Love:} Sandy

A “few weeks”? There is still going to be a lot of snow on the ground. Hope you’re looking at local weather reports for where you’ll be. I haven’t forgotten you kids. I keep you in my prayers. Don’t forget to pack your vests! 😉

Thanks
I am going to use that verse also for my walk I will be doing April14th, 2013. I know that God had a lot in planning this walk I will be doing for Cancer Research. It isn’t I am not able to do a walk across America, it is only about 80 miles round trip.
I always had a dream someday, that I would like to go across America, maybe driving and taking my time, staying at camp sites along the way and possibly staying at churches. Then maybe, sometime.
Looking forward to hearing when your back on the road walking.
God bless.
