Ok so we are right outside of Savannah in a little town called Guyton. (no stop light....LITTLE TOWN) at the Savannah Baptist Assembly retreat center. Peaceful ~ Restful ~ Quiet ~ are the 3 words I would use to describe it oh and BEAUTIFUL so 4 words. It has been pretty incredible to meet with Jesus here with my morning coffee.

While we were here we were able to do some yard maintenance, while Daddy fixed some broken drain pipes and odd and end jobs. Oh and we also were able to do some painting of the signage around the huge pool. Overall the week here was such a blessing to us as well as to Kevin.
Upon pulling into our spot for the week we passed another rv with a little boy playing trucks outside of it...we laughed and said Daddy would be so excited to find a friend waiting to play with him for the week...As God always does, he used that little boy to bless us. He lives with his grandmother and has lived with her since he was 6 months old. He is highly allergic to all food dyes and preservatives and they didn't discover all of that until about a year ago. She had to completely change all of his food to only fresh with no preservatives. What a huge undertaking. They use to live with her sister until she passed away and they lost the house. Her church was able to get her this rv to stay in here on the property until she was able to find another place she could afford. Momma and Daddy both have been talking with her, praying with her and just loving on her as much as they could. Well this precious little 4 year old has been hanging out with us all week. He has the most precious eyes you have ever seen. He would run to meet Daddy in the mornings and then run to help us with the yard work. He would always come up and say "what can I help you with today? I'm a great helper and I get to help you...Isn't that great?" He picked up limbs, pulled weeds and helped us dump them. He was so much fun to work with. He in fact didn't want to stop working...he even made us keep working through the rain saying, "it's not that bad...we can still see while we work." So, we kept on working....What a blessing he was to us. The reason I am sharing this is because I want ya'll to join us in praying for them. Pray that they will find a house soon. One that she feels is safe for her grandson.

OK, so the camp has a prayer garden in the back of their 44 acres which is absolutely amazing. Looking at it from the grounds you wouldn't even notice it...it isn't until you come up on it you see something up under the tree...then as you walk under the tree you see the whole set up...complete with a podium and benches. You are under a hammock of the biggest oak tree I have ever seen - WOW and total amazement when you bask in it's beauty. Kevin, the Director of the camp said he calls it the Guardian Oak because it guards over the prayer garden. When I was down there alone I couldn't help but to relate it to God, guarding over his children, the peace under that tree is indescribable. Like the peace from our Lord.

This place is a very special retreat, where refueling can take place. I know first hand...after the last 6 months of going like crazy, for this to be our first stop, wow - thank you God for this time! I am so grateful for his sovereignty and security that only He can give. I feel completely refreshed and ready to hit the road!

We were able to attend church with Kevin, the Director of the camp, this morning at New Providence Baptist Church. It was a beautiful old church. Nothing like praising the Lord with fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ. So thankful to be worshiping together!
So next week we have a busy travel week, with stops at Parris Island for Daddy, one last look around, Myrtle Beach for me, cuz well, it's a beach I have never been to and then we will settle in at Williamsburg, VA the afternoon of the 9th. Pray for travels and pray with us that God would bring those into our path that we can share time with and share Jesus with. As Pastor Eric said - Don't forget our Master, our Mission, and our Motivation...which is sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Have a wonderful day ~ Thank you for praying with us and following us on our journey as we RV 4 Jesus!
Love -
Kristi~
