Tulsa, Oklahoma

As we passed through Oklahoma, we were invited to stay with the Mullican family. They are a sweet couple that have two kids (11...i think and one that is almost 2) and our girls really enjoyed playing with the youngest. It's great to see how people have opened their homes to perfect strangers.

We were blessed yet again, in several ways. Although we are unsure of what our trip is really all supposed to be about, it seems that maybe it's just another venture in our lives to see God showing up and giving us our daily instructions. As we arrived in Oklahoma, for some reason our grocery card could not be used in this state (weird since it was usable in TN and MO), so that was a little bit of unexpected money that was used on some food. We were a little bummed about that because our money is limited for gas pretty much, and so far we have tried to bless the people we were staying with by getting them some groceries to help out with food. But, this time all we could do was replace a new box of Cheerios for them. All that to say, as we were leaving, our host handed us some money and said, "Here, this is to help with your traveling.". So, this was yet another family giving us $100! But just to let you know, they had (and still have) no idea about our food card situation, or even how much money we have or don't have.

As Brandon and I were discussing our next stop in Texas just last night, we were a little discouraged as we still were unsure of our next contact. I must say, it's easy to feel a little concerned about the unknown with a family of four. Life is different when you are responsible for little ones as well as yourself. And all the thoughts flood our minds of, is this right? where will we stay? etc. So, it's funny how this morning (still not hearing word from our contact yet) we felt encouraged continuing this journey because God put it on these people's hearts to give us some money. It was not necessarily about the money, but to us it was God showing us to continue on as we were reimbursed for the little we spent and then some. So, we left for Texas, and a little over half way there we got connected with the right people.

We will see what's next.
