A Walk Across America - Chapters 29-30

Peter was headed toward New Orleans.  He is a different man now.  He now understands the reason for this walk and I think it's great how God worked in his life.  Once Peter arrived in New Orleans he needed a place to stay so he could write for National Gegraphic.  He remembered someone he had met at the revival who lived at seminary and he found the man's number and called him.  The man arranged for him a place to stay and that is where Peter met his future wife.  My favorite part of this chapter is how God worked in their relationship when Barbara prayed for a sign from God so she would know whether to go with Peter or stay.  God gave them a clear, unquestionable sign.  Peter had known all along that they should be together but he was doubtful that God would give a sign.  We should never doubt God.  He can do anything.  Also, when we are struggling with decisions in our life we should turn to God for answers.  I think it is great that Peter walked across America.  I think God had a plan for him from the very beginning.  I love the fact that he wrote so much about Alabama and what a wonderful state we live in because so many people across the country think of us as country bumpkins.  I think the lession I learned from this book is that we shouldn't form opinions about people or places before we study them for ourselves.
