**A blessing post**
We recently purchased a bus so that we could travel as a group to other places to be blessed by the teachings of our Father. We also take the bus to other towns to eat as a church family. Yesterday evening we took a trip to Tulia, I know, I can hear the questions now, Why Tulia? You could have gone to Lubbock or Snyder. Just so you know God was in control of our plan. We arrived in Tulia to eat at a restaurant called El Camino, which I would strongly recommend stopping there on your way to Amarillo or just to take a little road trip to get out of town. They have the best Chile Rellanos. We arrived at the restaurant and was seated in the dining room. Our waitress arrived and introduced herself to us. She explained to us that they were short staffed and originally she was not suppose to be our waitress and asked if we could be patient with her. Besides a party of 21 she had other tables to tend too as well. We placed our orders and while waiting for the food to arrive, she made sure that our needs were met. She did an amazing job. When we finally finished our meal, we paid our bill plus tip. The young lady came into the dining room and wanted to pray for us, her prayer was amazing it brought tears to our eyes. She opened up and told us a little bit about her and what her dream was when she was 6 years old. So instead of me telling the story I will just let her father's words tell you. The young lady's name is Bailey Acker and her parents names are Aimee Acker and Corey N Acker.
FROM COREY ACKER:
I don't do this very often so please bear with me. Our family has been facing a trial( nothing serious so calm down). Miss Bailey Acker has decided that she would like to pursue a career on the EMT path. So if anybody knows her the way I know her she is done her due diligence come up with absolutely every piece of information that is needed to pursue this interest. Not too long ago she was able to find some information about an EMT class coming up in Olton Texas the timing was right the distance was perfect and the only thing left was $1,000 tuition. So knowing Bailey the way I know Bailey she has done everything in her power to scrimp and Save. With the deadline of August 27th coming fast. ( THIS IS THE GOOD PART) We received a phone call this evening from Bailey who is at work asking me and Aimee Acker to come up there. When we got up there, we were greeted by busload of the sweetest people from the smallest town Justiceburg Community Church. We were then informed that through communication with Bailey they had found out of her wants and needs found out she had been praying about the situation for quite some time and offered to pay the full amount tuition. That just goes to show you that God works in the most unbelievable ways. I got the talking with some of the men and I asked him what they were doing in Tulia Texas that's when the the pastor of this Community Church stepped up and said God told us that was a need that needed to be met so we come up here to meet it. I've always been the faithful follower letting God handle the hard stuff. But when you see him work and your daughter's life to answer her prayers it's truly amazing. I want to deeply express my gratitude and thankfulness for the small community they did not know us all they knew is God put a need in front of them and through their obedience they fulfilled that need. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my little girl's dream come true.
God doesn't make mistakes and this trip turned out to be a blessing for our little church. To help someone who has been praying to our Father to help in her need. If you are ever traveling on I-27 going or coming and you are getting hungry for either lunch or supper. Make a point to stop in at the El Camino in Tulia, TX and ask for Bailey Acker, you will be blessed.
Bailey, Good luck and best wishes on pursueing your dream.
