The Beginning

Well, it all started in 2001, when we did our first walk for Christ. Nick was having this conversation with God and one day he came to me and said. " I have been talking with God and I am going to do a walk across America for Christ. It will be 3,300 miles, 100 miles for every year Jesus walked the earth."

My first thought it was..."Happy trails, dear, I am going to miss you." I was very happy with my job at the Crystal Cathedral. I had been working there for about 13 years and I did not think much of this walk idea, however, God had other plans.

One day I came home for lunch and I looked around our one bedroom apartment....and I really did not feel attached to anything and just then I heard a voice that said...."Sell everything and follow Me". I looked around and I did not see anyone and so I heard it all over again. "Yes, sell everything and follow Me."

So we did, we sold all our belongings and took off on the road in a 5th wheel and a pick-up truck.

In 2005, we did our 2nd 3,300 mile walk for Christ and now 2009 I find myself in a 1977 GMC Kingsley. You may wonder how is life on the road....as far as I am concerned, home is always where Nick and I are together, no matter if it is in an apartment, a house or in a RV. Home is where the 3 of us are......yes, three of us. Jesus, Nick and I. ....... more to come.
