NEW DAY

Happy International Women’s Day! As someone relatively new to the Can-Am riding community, I can tell you the truth from a heart that wrestles daily with Faith over fear that I have made my share of mistakes when riding my Spyder F3T Mrs. Cavatica. Thank God none of them were bad enough to cause me or anyone around me hurt, harm or danger…. well, maybe except for that time when I accidentally hit the big red kill button by mistake while riding YIKE! But some were just soul-searching enough to make me question why I would ever think myself brave enough to ride the open road.

Not to mention the second big group ride my husband, and I went on. He got caught by a light told me to keep following the group we were riding in. Still, when they never caught up to us, I panicked, slowed down from the group I was riding with, pulled over onto the shoulder of a country road out in the middle of nowhere, and almost lost my religion. The devil was doing his job, his absolute best at trying to keep me living and riding in fear and doubt. But I have learned when the devil fights you the hardest is when your Faith grows the strongest. Don’t let the devil play with your emotion because God’s grace and mercies are bigger than any mistake we could ever make.

I don’t know about you, but I’m glad God’s mercies are new every day because Lord knows I need them daily, and I’m also happy that God is not like Man; he doesn’t hold me hostage to my past transgression…He doesn’t keep them on His heart because He considers me the apple of His eye and hides me under the shadow of His wing- Psalm 17:8 And nothing reminds me more of His loving kindness and faithful care of me like taking a solo spin on my bike on a day not promised to me, but because God is not like Man, He gave me a New Day to do better and another chance to keep Riding the Good Ride of Faith.

… NOT TODAY!

Prayer for Thanking God for His Grace, Mercy and Love

Father God, thank you for new mercies every day. You are so faithful and compassionate towards me, and it’s beyond what I deserve. Father God, thank you for covering me, loving me, and not making me feel like a failure in your eyesight when I make mistakes, but someone who is the apple of your eye despite how the world might see me and how sometimes it treats me. Thank you for your mercy and steadfast love, it never runs out and never ends, and I am glad I can’t outrun it or hide from it…Your love for me is relentless. Thank you for loving me more than anyone on this side of heaven ever could…. Amen

LaShaun and Mrs. Cavatica
