I woke up this morning in Whitecourt, which is a nice size town. The campsite was in town, the location was advertised throughout the area. I broke camp and packed all my gear onto my bike and cycled to find some cafe to have breakfast. I was finally directed to a Subway restaurant that was open at seven a.m.
After breakfast I had a nice hill to climb to get out of town. Nice way to start the morning, but each day brings it’s own challenges to give one the opportunity to let Christ be seen in you. The question is, will you seek His face to be seen in you; in whatever situation you are facing? The breakfast I ate was fuel for the hills that I would have to climb later that day.
While cycling a gentleman stopped on the Hwy and introduced me to his daughter. He had met me several days earlier in the town of Little Smokey. He had a beautiful daughter, with a beautiful name, Omaro. If I did not spell Omaro correctly I apologize. They did offer me a ride to Edmonton, because I had a broken spoke on my rear tire, and had to disconnect my rear brakes. I let them know I was able to cycle using only my front breaks until Edmonton.
I kept cycling after the two drove off, after 50 miles I was entering Sangudo Alberta looking to find somewhere to camp for the night. Locating a place to stay was supported by Sharon, the information center representative. I chose to camp out and not stay in the recommended motel.
After I set up my tent and got inside, the wind began to blow very hard, then lighting, followed with a hard down pour. The wind was blowing rain into my little tent, because it was not made for such aggressive weather.
The Scripture says “Give thanks in all things for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.” So I was thanking God and holding my little tent together, to keep it from blowing away, while wiping away the water.
In approx. 40 minutes it was all over and the sun came out. I could not figure out what had just happened, but I was giving thanks to God. I am so very glad that I have started giving thanks in all things. I desire to be a doer of the Word and not a hearer only.
Good night all. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS HERE. AND JESUS IS LORD.
