One of my wife's big worries about my bike trip was that I would be "going it alone". That's where Brad comes in. Brad had me come to Tennessee to share at his youth group's ski retreat. During a time of sharing I talked about "going it alone" on my bike trip and how I wasn't worried because my God would provide and protect.
At some point in the weekend Brad told me that he felt the Lord leading him to join me on my bike ride. As we talked it became evident that the best time for him to join me would be the first week.
So even before the biking has begun my God has provided! Brad will be riding with me from Flagstaff, AZ to Cedar City, UT. I am looking forward to our time together on the road, in camp and along the way.
This will be a great time for us to share as Brad gets ready to wed Laura on June 7, 2008. I am excited that June 5, 2008 I will be flying out of Springfield, MO to Kingsport, TN to perform Brad and Laura's wedding ceremony. On June 9, 2008 I will return to Springfield to resume my ride east.
One other way my God has provided is that I will be with my wife Celeste on her birthday which is the day after Brad and Laura's wedding. Brad and Laura are flying Celeste in from Florida so that she can be at the wedding as well. They didn't know that her birthday was the 8th when they set their date. Without Brad and Laura's wedding taking place the 7th I would not have been with Celeste for her birthday. God provides!
It's only 59 days till Brad and I meet up in Flagstaff and 61 before we begin "Going the Distance". Your prayers are appreciated!
