The grass withers, and the flowers fall,
but the word of our God endures forever.
Isaiah 40:8

As we ride into Autumn, It’s hard not to see the Change starting to take place as we ride the open road. What was once a landscape of luscious green foliage has begun to transition into a kaleidoscope of warm colors that only the God of all creation could have created. While most riders enjoy this masterpiece and would credit Mother Nature as the Artist behind the landscape, Autumn colors taking shape right before our very eyes… Only the author and finisher of our Faith could make such a palette. A palette that ushers in a season to reflect on how much we have changed and grown throughout the year. The goodness of God, all he has provided to us as riders, the blessings and lessons we have received and learned as riders of the open road. Like the green foliage that changes colors and falls softly to the ground, so have I, so have you…we have changed.

November doesn’t find me being the green riders I was in January. It finds me being okay with letting go of failures and faults, things that could keep me from growing as a 3-wheel rider. And it finds me speaking up against divisiveness… anything that would set itself up against my ryde and my peace. And embracing nature’s lessons with an open heart and mind. As a Can-Am Spyder Ryder, this season of change finds me stronger and wiser, and I feel more sure about the Women God has allowed the Ride to prune me into becoming. As a Can-Am Rider, I’m not afraid to fail because God has surrounded me with a soft place to land in the arms of fellow riders who genuinely care about me as a woman of Faith riding on the open road. The beauty of Autumn blesses us with an opportunity to embrace Change. Let go of the women the world tells us we should be and embrace the women God has called and ordained us to be. Women who have decided 3-wheels are just extra Faith rolling over fear, helping us Ride the Good Ride of Faith!

Faith Fuel: Embrace the Changes in your life and allow each Ride to prune you, shedding off anything that would keep you from being the rider God wants you to be. God wants you to reflect His Glory in your Ride. This will allow other Women wishing to ride the open road to see His Faithfulness through you. On a sheet of paper, list some of the changes you have noticed and are thankful for as a Can-Am Ryder on the Open Road, and then thank God for those changes in this beautiful season of Autumn.  

May the Joy of the Lord instantly become your strength to encourage you to overcome any fears that you might experience. Remember, in our daring to be brave, when we throw caution to the wind, casting our cares in Faith upon Him through the ride. Peace, love, and joy are set loose in the atmosphere, and it permits other riders to do the same. Allowing us to all rejoice in knowing we have triumphant victory in Riding the Good Ride of Faith – LaShaun & Mrs. Cavatica
