A horse of a different color !!

It's Sunday and my choice of worship is Family Radio. I'm repeatedly invited to accompany an RVing neighbor to their church. I explain that I don't attend the institutional church. "I listen to messages on a web site via the Internet and WiFi." Briefly I share that God my Heavenly Father has led me on a journey that opened my eyes to revelations not widely accepted by most denominations. "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man; but the end thereof are the ways of death." (Proverbs 14: 12)

Those of you who have followed my blog know that I'm a woman of faith and have traveled for months relying on God's itinerary. Many times, I didn't know where I'd be the next day or the next week. Other RVers couldn't grasp my lack of devotion to an established route. They had their plans well defined. ~~ Even as I write this, I don't expect everyone to understand. But, I feel led to share "where I'm coming from." I listen to a different drummer.

God is my pilot; He speaks to me!! (There was a time when people were institutionalized because they "heard voices.") At this writing I've been at Wycliffe in Orlando, Florida, for one month. ~~ Next week????

This specific sojourn started in New Brunswick, Canada, approximately three-and-one-half months ago. I watched whales jumping in the Bay of Fundy; I saw the ebb and flow of the highest tides in the world. I might have visited Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia but heard the Holy Spirit say "We're going to Escapade." My response: "Oh, I hadn't planned to go that far West. But, OK!!"

Indulge me, please, as I take you through the individual steps that ultimately brought me to Orlando. (1) At the Escapade, I visited with several groups that were recruiting volunteers: Sowers, Nomads, Doves, etc. Talking to the Sowers, I was told "We only take couples." A man walked up and was listening to the conversation. He said: "Wycliffe Associates takes singles." Within hours I had accessed the website and filled out the preliminary application. (2) Amazon(dot)com was another institution that was on-site recruiting Workampers. I listened to the presentation but did not make a commitment. (3) Quite frankly I believed I was being led to volunteer at the Galilean Children's Home in Liberty, Kentucky. That did not materialize (I was willing but not called).

(4) I was hired by Amazon(dot)com. While waiting two weeks to actually start work, I organized and reorganized. During that time I had such an intense desire to listen to Christian music and hear Christ-centered teaching!! Via WiFi and the Internet, I found Family Radio (programming I had listened to for over forty years, in California). I left Campbellsville--and potential employment with Amazon--when I learned I might be handling X-rated and pornographic items. (5) I kept praying for direction about where God wanted me. Should I go to Escapee's headquarters in Livingston, Texas, and volunteer at their CARE center? (6) I had a phone interview with Wycliffe Associates but was told there were no RV sites available in Orlando. Perhaps their location near Dallas, Texas, could accommodate me?! I continued to trust that God my Heavenly Father would reveal my volunteer destination. The call came on Wednesday, November 10, 2010.

(To digress for a moment: I'm now working in the recruiting department and see that it is a **MIRACLE** that I'm "here"!! The screening process is quite detailed but I did not provide the references they require. I didn't list a minister. I didn't specify years of work experience, and/or variety of jobs held during the years. In my humble opinion, God shortened the process and cut through the paperwork!! Thanks in-part to the recommendation of a dear Christian friend in Clayton, Ohio.)

If the reader will go back a short distance in the blog, you'll see that I have a campsite in the exceptionally nice Wycliffe Associates RV Park. I have an excellent WiFi signal!! I can listen, endlessly, to Family Radio. Yes, I'm back to the topic of my choice of medium for worship. I'm ultra conservative about the music I listen too. I don't like the contemporary music in many of the churches; I love the beautiful old hymns of faith. I prefer the King James Bible versus the modern translations.

In the six years since I left California, Family Radio has, by God's grace, been broadcasting Judgment Day of May 21, 2011. Disagree with me (that's OK) but I believe God my Heavenly Father wanted me to hear the message and prepare for the day when Jesus will return for the believers. "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord." (1 Thessalonians 4:17) ~~ Question: Where would I be if I had not listened to "that still small voice" in New Brunswick??

Please see my blog Where will you spend eternity?

I'm not finished. Just as I was ready to hit the "publish" button, the Holy Spirit said "Tell them about your faith." ~~ There are large, beautiful motorhomes and 5th-wheel trailers parked near me. Some of my neighbors question how I can live in such a tiny trailer. Honestly, it isn't difficult to "live" in these tiny quarters. My needs are simple!! My desire is to live humbly and be counted as one of the five wise virgins with oil for [her] lamp when the Bridegroom [comes]. Read the parable in Matthew 25:1-13.

Eight months ago today I drove away from Shelby, North Carolina. Eight thousand, seven hundred sixty-five (8765) miles. What a ride!! ~~ I praise God for keeping me and my vehicles safe!!
