God silently directs you, daily.
As I begin to share my trip plans I find my heart is met with friends who love to travel and those who support me.
One of my dear friends told me she would pray for Divine Appointments as I shared my travel plans with her. I believe God is already answering my prayers.

I had my parents over for dinner, and their companions to share my plans to move out of state and live in my car. I am so full of praise, my WHOLE family is Totally on board with my upcoming journey.
My Mom and Dad are great people and have traveled the world, sometimes hiking, sometimes cruising, sometimes driving long-distance. I come from great stock!!
My dad's friend gave me a piece of mail from Dad's house, I haven't lived there for 20 years (right after my divorce), and it was a newsletter from old friends, who live in the USA as church leaders. I was happy to hear from them, and hope it's a clue to my journey.
Whether I journey to see them or not, it's encouraging to see God do His connections. We are God's family, we do His bidding, out of love and service.
The next week a man with some mental needs was looking through our neighbors' trash can for sellable items and I asked him if he was hungry and would he like a sandwich.
He started to decline the offer and thought again and said, 'Yes thank you". When I came back outside with a sandwich he explained his hesitation and said, "you never refuse a kind offer" and then went to explain, he was needing some extra cash, but was not homeless.
I was able to share my faith in God and when he shared he wanted to know if God was real, I told him to 'watch for demonstrations of God's love and realness'. I said, God just heard you ask this and He will answer your 'request'.
I felt my trip had just begun.
I know this.
When we turn our hearts away from God we lose.
Lose hope in a higher reason to live.
Lose direction and focus.
Some people never knew to follow God, so they have not done so. I am here to encourage them to think about God and His love.
Did God hurt you? Do you feel His decisions were more than you could handle? Do you feel God has no 'right' to tell you what to do?
I did too, but then I read Job 10:8-12 and Isaiah 29: 15-16

If you feel you are here because of some 'outside force/ or spontaneous life, I must ask why?
What reason do we exist? If life is suffering and trouble, why stay living? What value do you pass on to your children? Woodworking skills, science data, knowledge of life what real value are these? What about the boat builders on Pate, off the Kenyan coast. Is their life one of a circle? Family, fishing, marriage, death... What if there is more?
The reasons on this list are for us, the list is pages long, I just wrote a few.
Education and learning are great, and we all have benefited by washing machines, vehicles, air travel, science data... but what if those were gone? What if you had a simple life and it didn't include education or more data? Are you lacking?
I don't believe so, I believe the Indians in the jungle of Brazil have a full life of hunting and building and living far superior to our 'normal lives' where someone else builds our home, cleans our chickens or grows our vegetables. We have been away from the food chain for so long, we wonder how we got 'duped' to thinking fast food was real food.
I know there are exceptions to any rule, but by and large, our children think eggs come from the store and vegetables are picked at the farmers market or grocery store. I do not have a garden and know many do not, but I am aware of how much work goes into the foods I buy at the farmers market or store. I appreciate it and understand all good things take work and a creative mind.
This is why choice B, makes the most sense to me. I don't believe its an accident or has taken millions of years to make the earth and life on it. I see how time destroys cars, chairs, homes, gardens not tended, so it doesn't make sense to me to think the earth got here after time alone.
That's just me, you decide for you.

How Did Life Originate? A
George C. Simpson of Harvard University declared: “Virtually all biochemists agree that life on earth arose spontaneously from nonliving matter” (1964, 771). This is a scientists view.
How Did Life Originate? B
Genesis 1:27 God's word says He made us in His image.
