Journey

PhotobucketThis blog will bring you on my journey from Winona, MN to Chicago, IL. I am an experienced hiker that desires to use my gifts to encourage, strengthen, support, and challenge everyone I meet.
I am hiking with the purpose to raise support and money for Safeplace After School Program and summer Day Camp in intercity Chicago. This hike is 370 miles and will take about 3 weeks to finish.

Previous journey:
I hiked from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail in 2007 finishing in 5 months to raise support and money for Community Bible Church in Winona, MN.

Safeplace/Day Camp:
SAFEPLACE is a school-age child care program serving the families of Chicago's Edgewater community, providing a creative environment for spiritual, educational, emotional, social and physical development - after school!
DAYCAMP is a school-aged program that serves these same families (and more) in the summer!

If you would like to donate or learn more about these programs please call 773-784-3040, or visit edgebapt.com.

day 7

it is sunday, and i am using this day to reflect on God, and who He is. as the sun comes up…shining in my tent…God is peace…and light. He is like the breeze…unseen, but completely present.
the deer that came walking up the trail this morning didn’t know i was here, and snored in disbelief. but God is completely aware of me.

after church i lost cell service again. then at 12 noon got it back, so i called rach, my daughter with safeplace. she and sam were heading home from mpls, and we decided to meet. after 5 hours of traffic from the weekend holiday,they picked me up 2 miles from waunekee. in the mean time, my husband dave, suprised me by flying to waunekee to see me. here’s the interesting part: rach and sam find me at 5 pm. dave called at 5:07 pm when he landed. we end up picking dave up and eating dinner together. we topped the eveining off with icecream, then rach and sam left for chicago.
