Gillette or Bust — God Provides for Pathfinder Journey

Kathy A. Miller shares
her personal story.

Keitt and Kathy Miller

 

A Kia Soul vehicle had modifications to allow entry via wheelchair.

 

A Pathfinder journey with Lakeland Stars began in 2018, with teaching honors and then over the next few years helping the club prepare for Gillette, Wyo.

It wasn’t until my husband, Keitt, and I went to Pathfinder and Adventurer Leadership Conference (2023) that it became real. My excitement grew, and I left the Conference confident and more convinced God wanted us to go to the Camporee.

“Oni, do you think our vehicle will make it out to Gillette?” I asked our mechanic.

“Oh, yes, Ms. Kathy, I will make sure she is road ready.” After I left his shop, I heard a POP, fizz, and thudding from a flat tire. We were blessed with someone putting on our spare tire.

I knew God wanted me to go. I continued praying, and getting our vehicle ready:

  • Oil change
  • Brakes done
  • Four new tires

Then our vehicle developed a new problem. After several bouts with a POP, fizzzzzz, poooosh, uggggggg, and tows to the garage, my husband said, “Honey, I just have a bad feeling.” I was in tears hearing this when I heard God say, “Your next vehicle will be tan,” but I never mentioned this to anyone.

We started praying about what we should do. I asked our church prayer chain to pray with us.

I said to Keitt, on Friday, July 5, 2024, “I am going to scooter ride over to the store to pick up some cookies for potluck.” My phone rang, and it was Oni screaming with excitement,“Ms. Kathy, you are a praying woman I know! I am sending you a picture.” I opened the text to pictures of a tan Kia Soul!

“That is the color the Lord told me was going to be my next vehicle!”

He said, “Ms. Kathy, I knew God had His hands in this! A customer won a bid at an auction for a Kia Soul, but it was a handicapped, equipped vehicle with no seats. He asked for my help as he can’t use that car and doesn’t want to lose his dealer license.”

Oni had told him, “No worries, I have the perfect person who is in need of this Kia! I will call her and will let you know.”

“Hence, Ms. Kathy, I called you!”

On Monday, we saw the Kia the Lord picked for us. Oni greeted us and said, “See, I told you God picked this for you. I have already checked it over and run tests. The only thing I want to do is put in a new battery.”

There is so much more I could share with you on how God worked and blessed us for Camporee 2024! Remember, believe in the promise!
