The Ride Begins – Louisiana Here I Come….

I departed the Highlands Christian Fellowship on 4/26/2014 after a warm and caring send off by family, spirit riders, Alpha group, Blocks cycling club, and Valley Press News representatives. I was in Silver Lake the first night at hotel my wife arranged.

The next morning I met Eric, walking on Route 66 in the direction of Barstow, CA. He said that he was leaving Victory Outreach after a week sober. Eric stopped me to use my cell phone. We stood and I prayed for The Lord to be in control of his life. He was thanking God for sending me by. The Lord is good!!!
I worshipped at the New Life Fellowship, Four Square Church on Sunday. Pastor Joe Green, Evelyn, and I had lunch and good fellowship. I was blessed to share my testimony, proclaiming, The Holy Spirit Is Here. The Lord blessed us all. Thank God.

On Monday and Tuesday, I had rough road to cycle; Route 66 has been neglected in many areas, and strong head winds. One day I covered 46 mimes and the next day I struggled to 25 miles. Character was being built. That is the only way I chose to look at it. I prayed and thanked The Lord, and “counted it all joy when you go through various kinds of trials” (James 1.2) Last night I sleep under the stars, tonight I am in my tent at a truck stop off I-40.

The Lord is blessing me with the difficulties I have been facing, that’s why I am committed to; giving thanks in all things; for this is the will of God in Christ concerning you. ( 1 Thessalonians 5:18 ) The Lord has given me this scripture to meditate on, Exodus 23:20 ; “Behold, I send an Angel before thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared”.

Blessings to all in Christ.
