“Rick Is A Wimp – Jesus Is Awesome!”
You know I have been thinking while I have been on this one-month road tour – imagine when Jesus did is 40-day walk tour in the desert! I mean He did not have the comfort of an RV. He walked all the time. And though I have been fasting, it’s really been more a partial fast. I have been starving in the last week. I have also been really tired. I have been with a lot of people – sharing, telling the stories – you know – “Asking, Seeking, Knocking”.
But Jesus is truly amazing and surely is no wimp. I mean 40-day journey of fasting and praying – while being tempted, though no giving into temptation. I go to bed and I pray. I got up and I pray. I drive many hours and I pray. I have been praying a lot and spending a lot of time with Jesus. It’s been an interesting month and it’s coming to a close. Only two days to go and most likely Sunday after church at FBC Montgomery I will start making the 24-hour drive back.
All that to say – no matter what we’ve been through or what we are going through, Jesus understands our situation. He’s experienced many of the things we have experienced and in even more incredible ways – ie like His 40-day journey in the desert versus my 30-day journey in Southern USA – BIG difference. So again – I am amazed at Jesus. “Rick Is A Wimp – Jesus Is Awesome”.
BTW: I did my final driving to Bay Minette this morning after a couple of hours rest at a trucker rest stop. Then after presenting the ECMC Vision to about 15 folks I made my way to Prattville to see my dear friends, Harold & Helen. I am parked in their driveway right now and am about to hit the sack. I have been exhausted all day and I need to be up at 0500 tomorrow for a 0630 meeting.
So good night folks … only 2 more days of blogging perhaps – unless I blog on my days of driving back home. I’ll see how the Lord leads.
Thank you so much to all those of have been faithful in reading this on a daily basis and praying. I so appreciate you!
