The Voice of Truth

After the first four days I thought of quitting. I had ten great reasons.

*Total exhaustion
*Scorching, stinging blisters covering my feet
*Sprained left knee
*I am completely filthy and stink to high heaven
*My back muscles burn like someone putting hot coals on them
*I have 2600 miles to go
*I am running out of food
*No hot meals
*No showers
*Most importantly, I really miss everyone

But.... all that being said, I was able to listen to music on my Ipod because of the solar charger gifted to me by my friends Bob and Marta.

On the fifth morning, I was trudging along and a song called "The Voice of Truth" started playing. The words are:

The waves are calling out my name, and they laugh at me reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed. The waves they keep on telling me time and time again "Boy, you'll never win, you'll never win". But the voice of truth tells me a different story. The voice of truth says "Do not be afraid". The voice of truth says "This is for My glory" (God's). Out of all the voices calling out to me I will chose to listen and believe the voice of truth.

No matter what your insurmountable challenge in life is, I pray you'll listen to the voice of truth. I know that I am choosing the voice of truth, and so for now...the adventure continues.

140 miles now completed.
