When we woke up this morning and checked the weather for the next few days, we decided it might be better to pack up in the early morning fog of Madison, Georgia today instead of the rain of Madison, Georgia on Monday. So, with our friends Mike and Linda who were visiting on their way to Washington, DC, we both packed up our RV's and by mid morning were headed west toward Atlanta and north toward Chattanooga, TN.
By mid-afternoon we had crossed the Tennessee line, took a few turns to find our campground for the night and were back in Georgia, less than a mile from the Tennessee line we had just crossed. Our phone locators say we are in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, the restaurant where we had dinner, about a mile away is in East Ridge, Tennessee, the RV park receipt says Rossville, Georgia and with all of this we are on the outskirts of Chattanooga. It's no different than being in the suburbs of a major city with all the various bedroom communities and suburbs, but this is not a major metropolitan area. We'll be here (wherever we are) a few days, depending on weather and travel conditions, and hopefully in a day or two we'll have a better idea of what city and state we are in and why we all decided to call this home for the time being.
For now, we are "on vacation", in a place we have never been; on our way to a place we feel called by God to return to, after leaving a place we felt God wanted us to be, to participate in a ministry reaching people all over the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Wherever we are, wherever we have been and where we are going, we feel God's call on our life and are blessed to be serving Him and His Kingdom. Praise God for bringing us safely all these miles of our journey.
