Day 1 (Recap) – Welcome to Georgia!
Our journey to Georgia began at 3am. Before heading out, we prayed for traveling mercies and for God to use us as vehicles for His Glory. We started our trip sleepy and tired but in great spirit. As a matter of fact, Ernie and Ellie ate cheeseburgers for breakfast, right before heading out. Luckily, they did not regret it.
By seven in the morning, we were in Orlando. Because we were so early on the road, traffic was minimal and we were able to make good headway. Everyone dozed in and out during our trip. We had a great time of fellowship, singing songs, playing games, etc.
THE PEACH STATE
Around 10:55am we reached Georgia. Upon crossing the border, we started with the devotional for the day. Each Youth member has a day assigned to provide a devotional. The devotional was given by Ricky Jr. His devotional dealt with “Expectancy”. Everyone shared and commented on the spirit of expectation. We are believing for the Lord to do mighty things in the lives of everyone in Lexington as well as for Chosen Generation!
At three in the afternoon and after 12 hours on the road, we have arrived at the hotel. Our accommodations were nice and comfortable. We all settled in. Because it was still early in the day, we took the opportunity to go to the pool. The weather was nice and breezy. For some, the pool was too cold to jump in and for others it was not so bad. We spent a few hours swimming, resting, bathing in the sun and singing.
WINDING DOWN
Around six in the evening, we went to have dinner. Tired and hungry, we could not wait any more and decided to go to Wendy’s. Afterwards, we spent the rest of the evening working on the devotionals, talking and preparing for tomorrow.
As for tomorrow, we will recap our trip to Six Flags. As always, you know you can stay up to date and in real time via Twitter.
Lastly, We want to thank everyone that took a minute of your time to communicate with us. Hilda, Randy, Lourdes, and Nancy…THANK YOU. All of your messages were shared with the group and they ALL appreciate your support.
Well we finally on our way. All the preparation and fundraisers have paid off. Yesterday after the service, we packed the van and the trailer. We are all very excited for what the Lord is going to do. We have expecting hearts because we know the Lord is going to move us in a mighty way!
Additionally, we celebrate Ricky’s Jr. belated birthday. We had a good time and ate cake provided by Hilda. Fortunately, we manage to have a good time before the weather deteriorated. This event did not damper our spirits and we are road ready.
