To anyone who prayed for Terry to have safe travels up to NY, Thank You! And thank you for all the times you have covered him in prayer for his travels.
The trip to NY went well. He never had any trouble getting fuel or motels and did not have to take detours. The interstate he was on led through Bronx and Queens but he did not see much destruction so it must have been farther away from the interstate highway. He had to pay over $100 in tolls but had enough cash, and after undecking the trucks and turning them over to the customer, he had an hour taxi ride to LaGuardia airport where he did not have any airline delays.
Now he has a load to haul from Mount Holly, NC to Surrey, British Columbia and it is looking really good for him to be home for Thanksgiving!!
Thanks again for your prayers.
We think we are the "Busy Layton's" because as times moves on faster and faster, we get slower and slower!!
Where's Terry?
Where's Terry? Portland, OR to Fort St John BC and Grand Prairie ALB Canada

Pray for Terry
Terry finished delivering his load of trucks yesterday in Hurricane Mills, TN and then they flew him to the company terminal in Mount Holly, NC.
He signed the "seniority" board and was the 7th person to get a load (out of 7 loads). The load he was given was to deliver 1 truck in Richmond, VA and the other 3 trucks to Kings Park, NY. To get to Kings Park Google Maps routes through Queens, NY out on Long Island. He has to travel through New Jersey and these are areas that were hit really hard by Hurricane Sandy. They also have gas shortages in places and electricity outages as well. He has only a 50 gallon fuel tank so will have to get fuel about every 150 miles. There may be a different route to take but he won't know until tomorrow when he calls the customer.
Both of us are trying to remember that in all things the Lord is in CONTROL and that there are no accidents or coincidences so the Lord must want Terry to take this trip. I find myself worrying and remind myself of the Lord's control and shake off my worry and then a few minutes later I find myself anxious again. It is a continual battle. Terry seems to be handling it better than I.
I find I am riding the same roller coaster about the results of the election. Why do we find it so hard to lay our requests and worries at Jesus' feet and leave them there? I am continually going back over to the burdens I lay at his feet and pick them up again. Then lay them down and pick them up over and over. You would think I would lose weight with all the exercise of bending down to pick up the burden!! God has proven He is faithful and cares about us in everything we do but I keep forgetting.
