Following the Star

Today we met with Pastor Brian and his wife Leah from Calvary Chapel Roanoke. They were very encouraging. We laughed and talked about faith. Pastor Brian talked about Abraham after he left hit a famine and went down to Egypt. Not to the Lord and the Lord never spoke to him there. How he is an example, when we set off in faith we too will hit a famine. It will test us and we must chose to seek the Lord and walk through it or turn to Egypt. It was very encouraging we are so thankful for them.

We then went to Mill Mountain. In the Blue Ridge mountains. They run along the area we live. There is something special about them to me. I find myself just staring at their beauty. I have seen in my time many mountains. The Cascades in Oregon, Rockies of Colorado and so many others. I have always lived near the mountains or at least been able to see them. Why these are so drawing to me I do not know. On the top of Mill Mountain is a star. A BIG STAR. Like, you can see it for miles. Everyone in Roanoke can see it. Well, unless a tree is in the way! Anyway, I told Don we like the Wise Men have followed the Star until it came to rest and here we are. Except we aren't that wise and there is a guy, girl and a beagle! We have had and are in a journey. Not what I expected. It never is-is it. Yet there is a decision to make. Are we going down to Egypt or are we going to allow HIm to be our guide. The Wise Men didn't go too far wrong. Did they?
