Adventure #2 has landed me in San Antonio, TX. And oh what an adventure it has turned out to be so far. A day before I left I bought a new car (Nissan Sentra) which I love. Then I spent 3 days on the road. 3 days, 6 states, and over 1,600 miles! I was able to stay overnight in TN the first night with a lady who I knew from Keuka who was the President of the colleges assistant who also led a bible study on campus that myself and my friends attended. My second night I had planned on making it to Dallas to stay with another friend however due to some crazy thunder, lightning, and hail storms in Arkansas I only made it across the TX border and stayed in a hotel in Mt Pleasant, TX. It was so nice to finally get to San Antonio and check into my room at the Extended Stay America hotel.

That evening I decided to go to the Riverwalk. So I drove there and finally found a place to park where I didn’t have to pay anything and then walked the couple blocks to the walkway remembering the different streets and landmarks so I would remember my way back to my car. My only problem when I left was that the Riverwalk can get you very turned around and it took me forever to find where my car was! It’s a really nice walk though!

On 3/31 I wrote this in my journal:

“Today I should be starting my new job. But God does things in His own time I guess. So I am sitting in my hotel room in San Antonio, TX where I arrived Saturday afternoon. I drove for 3 days, through 6 states and 1,684.8 miles to get here in my brand new 2013 Nissan Sentra! In Arkansas I hit really bad thunder/lightning/hail storms so bad I had to stop a lot. As I got back on the road and passed over into Texas I saw a sunset which just gave me a peace and was a sign that this is where I am supposed to be. I am not exactly feeling either of those things today as I am frustrated with myself for not following the licensing process correctly so now who knows when I will get it and be able to start working. AND….I just killed a HUGE cockroach in my hotel room!!!!!! Seeing the familiar faces of Marc and Liz yesterday made me feel really good and I am excited to go to their small group on Tuesday and meet some people! I decided during lunch today that instead of sitting there continuing to make myself stressed and frustrated with my current situation, I would get my Bible out and do my devotions. Today’s devotion was on enduring and remaining steadfast during troubled times. When this traveling gets hard, I just want to give up feel like it would just be easier to do something permanent. But I know that this is what I want to be doing and what God called me to be doing. So I need to remain steadfast in the Lord and keep holding on and trusting in Him and remember that this is all part of the adventure!
