I will blog more when I get a chance, but...

What a couple of days it has been. We left MN on Thursday morning with an interesting forecast...a whole day of severe weather. Hit the first storm, hail included, but drove through and hit some clear skies afterward. Then heard a forecast that warned us about severe weather near Fargo so we pulled off until it was by and didn't even get a drop on our car. Then...the sky stayed cloudy so we were hoping we were through it. But just as we got to Bismarck, ND a warning about high winds and severe weather came across the radio, and with one look at the ominous sky we pulled into the exit that was the last one for miles, and pulled the van & trailer behind the first gas station we came to and sat there. But then the wind came blasting around the building and the van started shaking so we ran for the building and ducked inside. The wind came with a fury and we stood inside the very sturdy, clean, and comfortable gas station/super market/Quiznos watching the cigarette ash catchers get blown across the parking lot. But talking to the manager this was pretty typical and he said it will be over in a few minutes. In 20 minutes we were back on the road, newly purchased root beer barrels from our little sanctuary from the storm, under sunny skies. It was amazing...a true miracle of God's timing in helping us maneuver through the day of storms and truly come through unscathed! And today...a beautiful day in Montana...just amazing views and breathtaking space. A glorious way to spend our last full day of traveling. Tomorrow we hope to be at camp by early afternoon. Can't wait! Thanks for the prayers everyone and keep them coming...they have been answered so far and can't wait to share more witness to the power of our God!
