Today was my second day hitchhiking. I woke up this morning so thankful that it was finally morning! Sleeping under a bridge was great in that it kept me warm and dry, but there's definitely a reason they don't make beds from concrete! Coupled with the fact that I was mildly worried about someone finding me there led to an all around long night.
So I woke up this morning went and cleaned up at a nearby gas station, got some coffee, then I went back to the bridge, ate, and a a short devotion time and prayer. Then it was back to hitchhiking.
After waiting for almost an hour a man pulled over who was on his way home to TN after spending a weekend at a lake in AL. After riding and talking with him awhile he said that he had a business in smyrna and would be willing to take me all the way to cookeville! So after a long ride and great conversation we finally made it to cookeville.
From there I walked 2 miles to the church were all the people from camp went. I can't even explain what it felt like when I saw that church for the first time. I was so happy that I finally made it. And that it actually worked!
Then, at last I finally made it to camp after staying with Braden ten riding home with Sarah that night. Overall it was a very good trip. I have more tan, more money, and more friends than when I started! God has been so faithful to me during this trip and I can't wait to see what He'll do the rest of this summer!
