The Saul Effect

When comparison causes us to miss what God is doing.

Scripture for the Ride

“A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.”
Proverbs 14:30

“He must become greater; I must become less.”
John 3:30

One of the greatest blessings of ryding is the sisterhood that comes with it.

There is something powerful about meeting another woman on the open road who understands the freedom, the adventure, and the courage it takes to chase the miles God has placed before us.

We celebrate each other’s rydes. We encourage each other’s dreams. We share stories, laughter, struggles, and victories.

But if we have lived life long enough, we also learn something else…

Not every relationship stays the same.

Sometimes someone who once celebrated you begins to see you differently. The encouragement starts to fade. Comparison begins to creep in. What once felt like sisterhood starts to feel more like competition.

And you find yourself asking…

“What happened?”

FAITH REFLECTION

When I think about this, I think about David and Saul.

David was not trying to take Saul’s place. He wasn’t chasing recognition. He wasn’t trying to prove he was better.

David was simply walking in obedience and using the gifts God had placed inside of him.

But Saul became so focused on David that he lost sight of God.

Saul watched David’s victories. He listened to people praise David. He compared himself to David.

And somewhere along the way, Saul stopped seeing what God was doing through David and started focusing on the person God was using.

And I believe that is a lesson for all of us.

Sometimes we can become so focused on the messenger that we miss the message.

We can become so focused on the person God is blessing that we miss the God who is doing the blessing.

We look at someone’s opportunity’s, their influence, what they ryde, how they ryde, what they wear or don’t wear, their gifts, or their journey and quietly ask:

“Why her?”

But maybe the better question is:

“Lord, what are You showing me through her?”

Because the truth is…

The woman God is using is not the point.

God is the point.

Every gift. Every opportunity. Every open door. Every testimony. Every victory.

It all belongs to Him.

When we see God moving in someone’s life, our response should not be comparison. It should be celebration.

Because someone else’s obedience does not take away from ours.

Someone else’s calling does not cancel ours.

Someone else’s blessing does not mean God has forgotten us.

God is not limited. He does not run out of purpose. He does not run out of grace. He does not run out of ways to use His children.

The question is not, “Why is God using her?”

The question is:

“Am I willing to let God use me?”

FAITH IN ACTION

This month, I want to challenge us to look at the women around us differently.

When you see God using another woman, celebrate it.

When you see someone stepping into their calling, encourage it.

When you see someone shining, don’t compare your light to theirs.

Instead, ask God:

“What are You doing that You want me to see?”

Maybe He is showing you something about faith.

Maybe He is showing you courage.

Maybe He is showing you what obedience looks like.

Maybe He is simply reminding you that He is still working through ordinary people who say yes.

And while we are asking, “Is there a Saul in my life?”

Let’s also have the humility to ask:

“Lord, is there any Saul in me?”

Is there any insecurity that causes me to compare?

Is there any jealousy that keeps me from celebrating?

Is there any place where I need God to heal my heart?

Because true sisterhood isn’t built on competition.

It is built on encouragement.

It is built on celebrating what God is doing in each other’s lives.

LET US PRAY

Father God, thank You for creating each of us with unique gifts, talents, and purpose.

Help me keep my eyes on You and not become distracted by the people You choose to use. Guard my heart from comparison, jealousy, and insecurity.

Father God, teach me to celebrate what You are doing in the lives of others. Give me the humility to learn from their journey and the courage to faithfully walk my own.

May I never become so focused on the vessel that I miss the One who fills it.

Use me, Lord, however You choose, and let my life always point back to You.

In Jesus Name I Pray… Amen.

ROAD BLESSING

The next time you see God moving through someone’s life, don’t focus on the person He is using.

Focus on the God who is working through them.

Because the miracle was never the vessel.

The miracle has always been the One who chose to use it.

Keep your eyes on Jesus, your hands on the handlebars, and your heart open to whatever road He places before you.

Surrender the Handlebars

Fuel Your Faith

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV)

Fuel Stop

Have you ever looked up and wondered where the month went?

That’s exactly how I felt as June came to a close.

One minute it was the beginning of the month, and the next I found myself reflecting on everything God had done… things I never could have planned, predicted, or controlled.

If someone had told me at the beginning of June everything that would happen, I probably would have smiled politely and thought, There’s no way.

Why?

Because I’ve spent much of my life wanting to know the plan. I like order. I like preparation. I like having my hands firmly on the handlebars.

But somewhere along this journey, God gently reminded me that while I may hold the handlebars of my Spyder, He’s the One holding my life.

Earlier this year, I prayed a simple prayer that changed everything:

“Lord, wherever You send me, I’ll go. Whatever You ask me to do, I’ll do.”

That prayer has led me down roads I never expected. Some exciting. Some uncomfortable. Some that stretched my faith beyond what felt comfortable.

Yet every mile has revealed God’s faithfulness.

As ryders, we know preparation matters. Before every ryde we inspect our bikes, suit up with our ryding gear, check the weather, and plan our route. Then we do something remarkable, we trust.

We trust our training.

We trust our machine.

Most importantly, we trust God to guide us safely every mile of the journey.

What if we lived every day with that same confidence?

Before putting on our helmet, we put on the full Armor of God.

Before checking our GPS, we seek God’s direction.

Before gripping the handlebars, we surrender our hearts.

Life isn’t about giving up responsibility. It’s about giving God permission to interrupt our plans with His purpose.

Sometimes the most courageous thing we can do isn’t opening the throttle.

Sometimes it’s opening our hands.

Because surrender isn’t weakness.

It’s trust.

And every time we say, “Yes, Lord,” we make room for Him to do immeasurably more than we could ever imagine.

As we begin this new month, don’t be afraid if God changes your route.

The best adventures often begin with a detour.

Remember this promise: God will always work things together for your good and His glory.

So this July, loosen your grip.

Let Him lead.

The Author of your faith has never taken a wrong turn.

Faith Reflection

Take a quiet moment and ask yourself:

  • Where am I gripping the handlebars too tightly?
  • What plans, fears, or expectations am I struggling to surrender to God?
  • If Jesus asked me to change direction today, would my answer be, “Yes, Lord”?
  • Am I trusting God’s map, or insisting on following my own?

Sometimes faith isn’t about knowing the destination.

It’s about trusting the One leading the ryde.

Faith in Action Challenge

This month, I challenge every Windsister to practice surrender.

Each morning before your feet hit the floor, pray these simple words:

“Lord, today I surrender my plans, my schedule, my expectations, and my worries to You. Order my steps. Interrupt me if You need to. Lead me where You want me to go. Today my answer is yes.”

If you’re heading out on a ryde, pause before you start your engine. Place your hand on your bike and dedicate every mile to Him.

Then pay attention.

Notice the conversations He arranges.

Notice the people He places in your path.

Notice the unexpected blessings hidden in what looked like interruptions.

At the end of each day, write down one moment when you saw God’s hand directing your journey.

By the end of July, you’ll have a beautiful record of His faithfulness.

Let Us Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for being the One who faithfully leads every mile of our journey. Forgive us for the times we grip the handlebars of our lives so tightly that we leave no room for You to steer.

Father God, today we surrender our plans, our timelines, our fears, and our need for control. Teach us to trust You even when we can’t see around the next curve. Help us to walk by faith instead of by sight.

Father God, as we ryde through this month, clothe us with the full Armor of God. Protect us physically on the road and spiritually in our daily lives. Make us women who are quick to obey, eager to serve, and willing to say, “Yes, Lord,” no matter where You lead.

Use our lives to encourage others, reflect Your love, and bring glory to Your name.

Order our steps.

Guide our hearts.

Strengthen our faith.

And remind us that the greatest adventure is following You.

In Jesus’ mighty name we pray

Amen.

July Road Blessing

“May the Lord direct your path, steady your hands, calm your heart, and fill your spirit with courage. May every mile you travel this month remind you that the safest place you’ll ever be is following the One who already knows the road ahead. Ride fearless, love boldly, and trust completely. Amen.”

I hope this first week of June finds each of you blessed, encouraged, and doing well.

Since beginning this blog and sharing my journey through YouTube, ryding my bike on the open road and offering the words God places on my heart along the way, it has truly been a blessing. But as this adventure continues, so do the responsibilities and opportunities that come with it. And sometimes, that means I’m not able to create or post as often as I used to.

They’re good challenges to have, but I’d be lying if I said I don’t miss those quieter moments of simply sharing encouragement more consistently.

Still, I’ve always believed this: it’s the life we live off the bike that makes life on the bike even sweeter. Ryding doesn’t pause life. If anything, life becomes even fuller, especially now, as my husband and I step into this empty-nester season and begin scaling things differently together.

The first week of June arrived before I even realized it. And this past week has been stressful on many levels, some good stress, some heavy stress, but stress, nonetheless.

Remove the man from the scene

This past Sunday, sitting in Mass, the message was simple but powerful: Remember.

Remember what God has done.

Remember the “Egypt’s” He brought you out of.

Remember the waters He made a way through.

Remember the battles you no longer must fight.

As I sat there, I found myself reflecting on the goodness of God, His mercy, His grace, and His faithfulness. And I realized something important: even the days that feel overwhelming are still good days. They are filled with unseen work that God is doing behind the scenes, even when I can’t fully understand it.

My heart also drifted to the voice of the late Gospel maestro, Daryl Coley, and his song “I Can’t Tell It All.” Sometimes, I simply can’t tell all the things God has done, because life away from the bike has a way of fading those memories. But that’s when you need to put yourself in a timeout and remember.

Because sometimes life doesn’t make sense. Sometimes you can’t trace what God is doing or understand the path He’s leading you on. In those moments, all you can do is lift your hands, smile through it, and remember. Remember His faithfulness. Remember His provision. Remember how He brought you through before. And trust that the same God who carried you then is carrying you now…And for that, I give Him praise.

So, as we live life on and off the bike this month of June. I want to encourage you to hold this close throughout the month of June, whether you’re on your bike or walking through everyday life. Let remembrance be your strength when things feel uncertain and your anchor when life feels heavy.

And I also ask that you continue to keep our Windsisters in prayer, those caring for loved ones battling illness. Pray for strength when they are weary, peace when they are overwhelmed, comfort in difficult moments, and God’s healing touch over those in need.

As for me, I’m pressing forward with gratitude, even during a full and stretching season.

Have a beautiful and blessed June…Ryde safe and Stay in Faith!

Let Us Pray!

Lord, thank You for bringing us into the month of June. We ask for Your peace to cover our minds, Your strength to carry us through every challenge, and Your wisdom to guide our steps on every road we travel, both on and off the bike. Help us to remember Your faithfulness in every season and to trust You even when we cannot see the full picture. Watch over our loved ones, especially those who are weary or caring for the sick and surround them with Your comfort and healing. Keep us safe, grounded, and grateful. In Jesus’ name, I Pray Amen.

Ryde Safe & Stay in Faith

Weighed, Redeemed, and Not Found Wanting

Adventures of Fearless Faith Ryders Devotional

An elderly man in robes kneels in prayer surrounded by calm lions in a dark pit.
Daniel kneels in peaceful prayer as he is surrounded by calm lions in the Lion’s Den – Daniel 6:22

This message didn’t just come to me once. It kept showing up.

During Holy Week, I decided to watch some of my favorite Biblical movies, like The Ten Commandments, which was an Easter tradition in my childhood, along with The Robe and Ben-Hur.

It all began while I was watching The Book of Daniel and saw the word TEKEL appear on the wall.

“Weighed in the balance.”

Then I heard it again while listening to an audiobook about Padre Pio. The same word, with the same weight and conviction. That’s when I realized this wasn’t just a coincidence. I felt God was trying to get my attention. Somewhere between that moment and the miles I spent on the open road and the spyder sister sip & social I had planned a few weeks ago, my prayer became: “Lord… don’t let me be weighed in the balance and found wanting.”

“Lord… don’t let me be weighed in the balance and found wanting.”

In Daniel 5:27: “You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.”

The king seemed to have everything on the outside, but he was missing what mattered most inside. But that’s not the end of the story. What TEKEL revealed, Jesus came to redeem through the cross and resurrection.

Noone could interpret the message, so Prophet Daniel was called in to interpret the message to King of Babylon

When I ryde my three-wheel bike on the open road, this message feels different. Out there, it’s just you, the road, and God.

You feel every shift.

You trust the balance.

You surrender control mile by mile.

In those moments, you realize you don’t have to carry the burden of trying to measure up. You don’t need to prove your worth. Easter reminds us that the scale has already been settled.

Where we fall short, Jesus stepped in.

Where we lack, He is enough.

So when the world whispers “TEKEL,” grace answers: “Redeemed.”

So as you ryde, both on the road and through this season, let this be your prayer:

Father God, thank You for meeting me in moments that catch my attention. Thank You for speaking to my spirit. As I ryde through life on and off the bike with You, keep my heart aligned and my spirit surrendered. When I am weighed, let it not be my flaws that speak, but let Your righteousness cover me. Because of Jesus, I am redeemed and restored, never lacking in You.

In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

During this Resurrection season,

Ryde steady.

Ryde surrendered.

Because you were weighed, but through Jesus Christ our Savior you are redeemed. You are not found wanting

The Scale said TEKEL… But the Cross said Redeemed.

A Lenten Devotional for Adventures of Fearless Faith

Dearest Fearless Ryder,

I think I’ll start all devotional with a little Lady Whistle down flair lol.

As the miles stretch before you and the road hums beneath your faith, this season of Lent invites you to slow your heart and remember the one who has kept His eyes on you.

“Don’t leave me nor forsake me.”

Those are the words I find myself whispering often during this season of Lent. Lent reminds us of the greatest love ever poured out, the sacrifice Christ made when He went to the Cross. It’s a season that invites us to slow down, to remember, and to sit with the weight of love that cost everything.

I remember my grandmother saying something similar when I was a child. We’d spend summers in Canada, fishing along the water. She would be singing and praying, and then out of nowhere she’d say, “You never want the Lord to leave you. You never want Him to take His eyes off of you. You never want Him to turn His face away.”

Back then, I didn’t understand. I was just a little girl with a fishing pole, wondering what on earth she meant.

“Be strong and courageous… for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.”

— Deuteronomy 31:6

Scripture reminds us again and again that God is not a distant observer. He is a Keeper. A Watcher. One who never slumbers, never sleeps, never looks away, never abandons His own, especially in the valley, especially in the waiting, especially at the Cross.

Now, standing on this side of life, as a wife, a mother, and a grandmother, I finally understand the weight of her words.

When I ryde the open road on a beautiful day, sun shining overhead, I often imagine it’s God Himself shining down, watching my travels, seeing my faith in action, knowing my thoughts, understanding both my failures and my obedience, and still extending grace.

I feel it when the road hums beneath me, the heavens stretch above me, and the Spirit of God surrounds me—quietly reminding me: I see you. I keep you.

It’s a beautiful ryde. But it becomes even more beautiful when you realize the One who covers you, loves you unconditionally, and relentlessly pursues you no matter how far you go or how deeply you fall.

My bike can go fast—but no matter how fast you or I ryde, We can never outrun His love.

Lent invites us to stop running and start resting.

This week, ask yourself: Where have I been ryding fast, trying to outrun pain, fear, or disappointment, only to discover God was already there?

Action Step: Sometime this week, on the road, in prayer, or in stillness, whisper these words:

“Don’t leave me. Don’t forsake me.” Then pause long enough to remember: He never has—and He never will.

Let Us Pray!

A Lenten Prayer for Women Ryders

Father God,

women who carry stories, scars, prayers, and praise on every mile we travel.

As we journey through this season of Lent, we come before You as women who ryde,

When the road stretches long and the ryde feels lonely, remind us that You go before us.

When the pace is fast and our hearts feel restless, teach us to slow down and trust Your keeping.

Keep Your eyes upon us, Lord.

Do not turn Your face away from us.

Cover us with Your mercy and surround us with Your peace.

As we ryde beneath open skies, help us remember the Cross,

the love that chased us down, the grace we could never outrun,

and the sacrifice that made a way for us to be free.

Strengthen our faith, steady our hands, and soften our hearts.

May every mile draw us closer to You.

May every breath remind us that we are seen, known, and deeply loved.

We place our journey—on the road and in our souls—into Your hands.

Ryde with us, Lord, now and always.

Amen.

Sacred Slowdown

An Adventure of Fearless Faith Devotional

Finding God in the Everyday Moments of Life and Love

The Pause I Needed

As I began preparing dinner for my husband and myself, I immediately felt anxious, rushed, and hurried. My hands were busy, but my spirit was unsettled. I caught myself begrudging each step: seasoning the steaks, boiling the potatoes, chopping the Brussels sprouts, making the glaze. What should have been a simple act of love was beginning to feel like a chore—something to get through as quickly as possible. Then my thoughts turned to my dear friend, one of the precious souls lost just this past week in the plane crash to Bangor, Maine. And right there in the middle of my kitchen, I stopped.
Life slowed me down.

I started reflecting on how easily we rush through moments without truly appreciating their significance. How often do we move past the people we love without being fully present? This led me to some quiet but powerful questions:

What if this were the last meal I ever prepared for my husband?
What if this were the last time we held hands and prayed over a meal together?

Then I remembered a moment from that morning, before we got out of bed. My son-in-law sent me a video of our granddaughter standing in front of the TV, singing along to the song I wrote for one of my YouTube videos.

What if this were the last video of my granddaughter watching me ryde my Can-Am Spyder across God’s beautiful country, or the last call from my grandson asking, “Grammy, are you coming to have lunch with me this week?”

These “what ifs” made me pause long enough to realize that I was rushing through something sacred.

God’s Word for the Moment

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”— Psalm 90:12

As women of fearless faith—women who ryde, pray, lead, and love—it’s easy to feel as if we are constantly moving toward the next thing, the next responsibility, the next deadline, or the next mile.

One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned from ryding my Can-Am Spyder on the open road is this: slow down and pay attention. You may never have the opportunity to ryde that road again.

The same is true in life. Preparing a meal is not just a task; it’s an act of love. It’s not wasted time; it’s worship. Sitting across from someone you love is not ordinary; it’s holy.

That night, I chose to slow down. I cooked with intention and gratitude. Interestingly enough, those were the best steaks we’ve had in a long time—not because of the seasoning, but because my heart was finally present.

The Good Ryde of Faith

What I’ve come to understand is this: The Good Ride of Faith isn’t about speed—it’s about being present. It’s about choosing to be fully engaged in the moments that God places in our hands. As we journey through this season—especially this month dedicated to love—my encouragement to you is simple:

Don’t rush your ryde. Don’t rush the things you do off the bike. Don’t rush the moments you share with the people you love. Take your time. Be present. Do everything you do for the glory of God. We are all just passing through, so may our lives leave behind a sweet fragrance—one that speaks of love, gratitude, and fearless faith.

Love Prompt for February | How Can I love more intentionally, without hurry in moments God has already given me?

Let Us Pray!

Father God, teach me to slow down and see You in the everyday moments of my life on the bike and off the bike. Help me to cherish the time You’ve given me and to love others with intention and grace. May every mile I ryde, every word I speak, and every act of love reflect Your goodness. Amen.

Ladies First! First Saturday of the Month Spyder Sisters Ryde

I woke up on this fourth day of the new year to a photo taken yesterday—after leading a 60-mile ryde to brunch with these beautiful ladies—and it stopped me in my tracks. In that moment, it became clear: we are the message, and the mission has never been clearer.

For the past year, I’ve had the honor of serving as a mentor for the Can-Am Women of On-Road Facebook Group under the leadership of BRP Can-Am’s Consumer Engagement Specialist. I shared product knowledge, safety awareness, and skill support with women in the three-wheel ryding community.

But this experience became so much more than sharing technical tips, cool gear or helping women log miles. It shaped me. It refined me. It stretched me in ways I hadn’t expected. I’ve seen courage, vulnerability, and faith in action—and in hearing others’ stories, I was reminded of my own victories. Not just victories in facing my fear of ryding on the open road, but victories in standing firm amid criticism and doubt, walking faithfully as a woman of God who rydes boldly.

Through it all, one truth has become undeniable: this ryde has never been about the miles we log or the cool gear we wear.

It’s about courage.

It’s about community.

It’s about the hearts we touch along the way.

And as I look at that photo, I’m reminded of the very heart of the mission.

If you are truly called to ryde in freedom, you can’t look at a group like this and miss it. It’s not about what we ryde—or even who we ryde with. It’s about unity:

Unity in faith.

Unity in freedom.

Unity in authentic friendship and in sharing our stories—stories that lead us to the open road, where we find fellowship, freedom, and connection.

This kind of unity goes beyond labels, differences, or backgrounds. It’s choosing connection over comparison, purpose over criticism, courage over fear.

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.”

— Psalm 133:1

So here is the call for 2026—should you choose to walk and ryde in TRUE freedom: If your heart feels the gentle pull to ryde free, to stand quietly yet firmly in faith, and to journey alongside women who embrace courage over fear, then listen to it. Let go of the hesitation that comes from ryding with women who may seem different from you. Release the fear of being truly seen, and the fear of sharing your story and testimony. Step forward with intention. Ryde with boldness that is gentle. Share your truth with grace. And above all, don’t serve the color. Don’t serve the fact that it’s a third wheel. Serve the HEART of the ryde, because what comes from the heart reaches the heart.

Let unity—soft, steady, and unwavering—lead the way. Because this is more than a ryde. It’s a calling.

Let the joy of the Lord ignite your strength and silence every fear. When we choose courage and cast every care upon Him in fearless faith, peace, love, and joy are unleashed. This is our victory—riding strong, riding free, and living the great adventure of faith without limits – LA & Mrs. Cavatica

Prayer of Faith for September

On By lashaunjacksonIn Faith Fuel, Prayers of Faith, Uncategorized4 Comments

Father, God
I thank You for the gift of a new month, for September’s fresh beginnings, and for Your mercies that are new every morning. Lord, You see the weight we carry off the bike, the responsibilities, the struggles, the unexpected trials that press upon my hearts. Yet, I also thank You for the way You’ve placed within me a passion for the ryde, a freedom that lifts my spirits when the road opens before me.

Father God, I ask for Your covering over every woman who straddles her Can-Am Spyder. Protect us on the highways and backroads, shielding us from harm and guiding our hands with steady strength. Let the wind remind us of Your Spirit that refreshes and renews, and may every mile bring us closer to Your peace.

Father God, when life’s burdens feel heavy, remind us that joy comes in the ride—not just on the open road, but in the journey of faith with You. May our bikes be more than machines; let them be symbols of resilience, sisterhood, and the sweetness that comes after struggle.

I declare this month that I will ryde with courage, live with faith, and trust You with every twist and turn—both on the road and in my lives. And when I park my bike, may the joy of the ryde linger, carrying me through all challenges with hope and strength.

In Jesus’ mighty name I Pray,
Amen.

You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways – Job 22:28

September Decree of Faith for Women Riders

I decree and declare that I am a woman of faith, strength, and courage.
I am covered by the blood of Jesus and protected on and off the road.
No weapon formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against me will fall.
The peace of God rides with me, the joy of the Lord strengthens me, and the Spirit of God leads me.

I decree that every mile I travel is blessed, every challenge I face will refine me, and every victory will glorify my God.
I will not be shaken by life’s trials, for my foundation is Christ alone.
I decree freedom from fear, freedom from doubt, and freedom from anything that would try to steal my joy.

This month, I will ryde with purpose, walk in faith, and shine with the light of Jesus.
I decree that I am more than a conqueror, and my story will testify of God’s goodness.

In Jesus’ mighty name I pray, Amen.

Be That!

Be That — Becoming Who God Called You to Be

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” — Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)

Reflection

Recently, I went on a bike ryde my husband was hosting for his ryding chapter. Normally, I have my music going through my Sena headset, but that Sunday, I couldn’t get it to connect. At first, I was annoyed, but then I took it as a divine nudge to just ryde in silence.

Sometimes, silence is where the Spirit speaks loudest.

As we got rollin’, thoughts of my week, my journey, and my purpose flooded my heart. As a mother of adult children, a grandmother, and a woman of deep faith, I’ve stepped into a new season—one where I’m realizing that becoming isn’t about adding more, it’s about unbecoming everything I was never meant to be.

That day, as I settled into the ryde, my soul exhaled. I heard a clear whisper in my spirit:

“Be that.”
Be who God has called you to be.

And just like that, clarity came.

Release the Lies, Embrace the Call

I wasn’t created to be fearful.
I wasn’t meant to stutter my way through life.
I wasn’t meant to play small so others could feel secure.
I wasn’t meant to dim my light to keep others comfortable.

God’s call on your life may intimidate others. That’s not your concern.

People may misunderstand your freedom or question your boldness. They don’t know your struggles. They haven’t seen the deliverance. They don’t know your yes cost you everything.

When you embrace your calling, don’t be surprised if judgment follows. The moment you start walking in purpose, you might feel a target on your back. That’s confirmation that you’re dangerous to the enemy and impactful in the Kingdom.

God Doesn’t Call the Qualified

He never has.

  • Moses stuttered.
  • David was overlooked.
  • Esther was an orphan.
  • Gideon felt weak.
  • Mary was young and unknown.
  • Peter and John were unschooled.
  • Paul was a persecutor of Christians.

And yet… God used them because they were willing.

What did they all have in common?
→ Faith. Humility. Obedience.

They simply said, “Yes, Lord.”

When I was four years old, I had a short afro, and I struggled with a speech disorder called stuttering. I would often try to explain to people, “I’m not a boy! I’m a girl!” when they mistakenly thought my mother had a boy and a girl.

Don’t Shrink Back

I know what it feels like to shrink, to silence yourself to make others feel big, to go home after church or work feeling defeated because you allowed someone to dim your light. I’ve done it too many times.

But there is no glory in returning to the Egypt God delivered you from.

As women of faith—on and off the bike—we are called to ryde in freedom. And with every mile, we are called to live fully, love boldly, and be exactly who God created us to be.

Ryde With Purpose

The call to Be That is a call to:

  • Stop apologizing for your calling.
  • Walk in the authority God gave you.
  • Speak with boldness, even if your voice shakes.
  • Shine, even when others try to shade your light.
  • Go forward, even if the road is unfamiliar.

Let them wonder, “Why her?”
Let them talk. Let them doubt.

Because you already have God’s approval.

Final Encouragement

I want to encourage you today — don’t let anyone question your ability to Be That. Be the woman God is shaping. Walk in your God-given purpose. Ryde boldly into your calling with faith, fire, and freedom.

Keep ryding forward with confidence, knowing that your journey is God-led, your purpose is God-given, and your identity is already approved by the One who called you.

So go ahead, Windsistah…

BE THAT!

Prayer: BE THAT — A Bold Yes to God

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for creating me with purpose, on purpose. You formed me in love, fearfully and wonderfully, with divine intention. Even when I’ve doubted myself or shrunk back in fear, you’ve never changed Your mind about me.

Father God, forgive me, Lord, for the times I’ve allowed others’ opinions to outweigh Your truth. Forgive me for dimming the light You placed within me to make others comfortable. Today, I surrender my fears, my past, my doubts, and the false identities I’ve carried that You never intended for me.

Strip away everything I was never meant to be so I can fully embrace who You’ve called me to be.

Father God, give me the courage to walk and Ryde in obedience, even when it’s uncomfortable. Give me the boldness to rise above criticism and step into the calling You have placed on my life. Help me to stand firm in my identity, rooted in Your Word, grounded in Your grace.

When the road gets hard, when judgment comes, when I feel unworthy—remind me that You do not call the qualified. You qualify the called. Remind me that my “Yes, Lord” is more powerful than any “Why her?” from others.

Use my life to set others free. Use my ryde, my story, my scars, and my voice to point others to You. Let me not just have the light but be the light in dark places.

Father God, Thank You for choosing me, for loving me, and for calling me. I say “YES” to becoming — and unbecoming — all that You desire. I say “YES” to the journey. I say “YES” to being that which You’ve called me to be.

In Jesus’ name I pray
Amen.

“May the joy of the Lord instantly become your strength and encourage you to overcome any fears. Remember, when we dare to be brave and cast our cares in faith upon Him, peace, love, and joy are set loose, allowing us to rejoice in our triumphant victory in riding the good ride of faith.”
