The Long Walk 2010

Mt Palomar, CA via Texas

For my fiancee Pam and myself, the idea of taking a 'Long Walk' has much significance...
Ours is a story about God's faithfulness to us even when we are not always seeking Him.
We met over 40 years ago in church when we were just kids... she was my 'first crush', and when her dad took a pastor's job in another town we lost contact with each other. And last year, when we reconnected, we both felt a strong sense that God had somehow orchestrated our reunion.
Pam lives in the San Diego area, I live in central Texas... and even though the distance between us poses some challenges, I feel like I have to share some thing things about how DAB has helped us. DAB has been a daily part of our lives... we both listen daily and we talk about it and pray together by phone every night. Our Lord Jesus (through DAB) has been the glue that keeps us together the past few months, and when we heard a few weeks ago about the 'long walk', we decided it would be a great time to walk and pray together.
On Tues the 6th, I traveled to San Diego... on the 7th, we drove up to the Mt. Palomar Christian Conference Center, where we found a trail leading to a place called Inspiration Point... Pam and I both were in awe of what God has created for us. We went there seeking God's will for our lives and guidance about where we should live once we are married, yet we found ourselves praising God for all the many blessings He pours out on us. Although we didn't actually 'hear God's voice' (as we both would like so much to experience), we both came off the mountain feeling a sense of peace and contentment about where our Lord is taking us!
I want to express my appreciation to Brian for what he is doing through DAB... this is a great ministry and I just want to say Thank You to Brian and his wife for their commitment to God and to each other... Brian, I know you don't always know whether your work is worthwhile or not, but my prayers are for you as you serve the Lord.

God bless you both! I will be praying for you as you learn to hear His voice. I don't know if you've read John Eldredge's Walking With God. It might be of some help to you. Again, God bless you both!
