Out of Gas??

So...I finally cried yesterday morning. It was hard leaving Temecula, it was hard leaving everyone. I pray the Lord gives me more and more peace, and gives me love for my job. I want so much just to go there with my hubby and my puppies, have fun, get my Masters, and come home. I don't want to be sad AT ALL. Lord, please help me with this.

Yesterday was pretty amazing. God is amazing. We started driving about 8am. We passed Cabozon and began looking for a place to stop. Jason saw a sign for service in 20 miles....Come to find out, this was not true. As the line got closer and closer to "E" we both got more and more quite. Soon the line was well below "E" and we were pretty scared. We saw a sign for Blyth, but it was still 23 miles away. We both prayed silently, asking God to push us, or make a gas station appear.

We kept on moving, soon passing the giant sign stating, "State Prison, DO NOT PICK UP HITCHHIKERS." Needless to say, we did not want to break down there for many, many reasons.
So did we make it??
Yes, yes we did. God pushed us, AT LEAST 17 miles, and there was a 76 station. The light had been on for 25 miles, and the needle was pegged out on the bottom. WOW. God is so good!!

We then continued down into Blyth, had lunch and took a few back roads. We decided to make a stop at the RIVER. We stopped at my aunt and uncles place, left a note, took some pics, and let the dogs play in the water. The note read this: "We came, we saw, we peed on your tree. We took a dip, we took some pics, we missed you!"
We continued following the river, went through Parker and Havasu, and headed into AZ.
As we headed into the Grand Canyon area, we began to see TREES and GREEN, lots of them. The GC National Forest is amazing. We arrived just in time for sunset. Driving through the National Park we saw at least 10 Elk...they were beautiful, and were so tame. We pulled off the road and got some pics.
God's creation is so amazing!
Thank you Jesus for that amazing day!!!
