Countdown to Triathlon - 271 Days, 38.75 weeks to Race Day (See Installment 16 of "The Journey", 220 mile bike ride, below)




HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!


I hope you all have a wonderful, thankful day with your families.

Due to guests coming to stay  and then going to our daughter's and son-in-law's house to finish the painting, I won't update this blog until next Monday.

The Journey - Installment Sixteen

     When we arrived back at the dirt piles again, we had to walk down the slope to the orchard.  We were trying to follow our tracks from before.   Don commented that it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.  I mentioned that I could see my tracks where I had walked my bike down the embankment earlier.   Just then Don said, “Stop! Look!”  I had been scanning the ground with my eyes, still looking for the speedometer but my eyes and my front tires had already passed it.   I had not seen it.  Just seconds before, as Don told me later, he had prayed silently, “Lord, open our eyes that we may see it.”  Instantly, he spotted it.  Thank you Don but most of all, thank you JESUS!  I told Don that if I hadn’t already been a believer, I sure would be now! We weren’t able to record our mileage that day, of course, but just the day before had recorded another milestone, 600 miles of  riding since July.  The Lord was doing such great things in my life and showing me constantly that I was indeed following his plan.
