My mom and dad came up from New York this weekend as we celebrated some birthdays here in Michigan.
At a family gathering my brother James gave me a signed copy of Peter Sloflstra's "In Tandem: a sea to se cycling odyssey. This book is from the chaplain/organizer/rider of the first sea to sea in Canada in 2005. I am so inspired after reading it that I want to ride the whole ride!
I finished the book in just 2 days. I am still aware of the practical issues of family commitments, but it is so exciting to see the story of the people of our church stepping out in faith in big "Hairy Audacious Ways".
I keep asking my students to make their faith real, and to act on it. This book is a collection of stories of so many people from across Canada that have done just that!
What is God calling you to do?
What is preventing that?
I pray that God will guide my vision for how my life will be and that I will act, may His will be done!
By the way dear reader, if I jump into riding the whole tour I will need to raise $7,500 more. I know I can't make that happen, but I know if God is in it ANYTHING can happen. Are you being called to donate or to offer some encouragement then I encourage you to reply and or donate!
