Do you ever doubt the vastness of God’s power because your eyes cannot see the end of His reach? It’s a human tendency to question what we cannot comprehend. But remember, God’s power is boundless, reaching beyond our worries, doubts, and fears. It’s taken me a while to post this month’s word of encouragement. I’ve been trying to wrap my head around what my heart needed to say.
like many others, I’ve faced significant challenges leading up to this year’s riding season. Coping with health struggles, family dynamics, and the transition of my adult children from the east coast to the west coast, all while Texas is beginning to sizzle with summer heat. However, in the midst of it all, I’ve managed to secure a 10-day vacation ride. My “Journey into Joy” has proven to be an extraordinary adventure that has made every struggle I endured to get here entirely worthwhile! As I rode up the Blue Ridge Parkway, it dawned on me that God has charted a unique path for each of us, guiding us toward a life filled with boundless joy and peace that surpasses all understanding.
You make known to me the path of life: you will fill me with joy in your
presence, with eternal pleasure at your right hand – PSALM 16:11 (NIV)
It reminds me that we must release our grip, concentrate on the journey, and seek out the joy. We should live for the things that bring us happiness and align with what pleases God. There’s no time to waste pondering whether we should or can… We must simply seize the moment and make it happen! As the song goes…
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance, never settle for the path of least resistance Livin’ might mean takin’ chances, but they’re worth takin’, And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance… Or better yet! I hope you RIDE! And Slay a few Dragons!
YES!!!! I Slade the Tail of The Dragon!!!
Let Us Pray,
Father God, guide me on a path filled with Your joy and everlasting peace this month. Let every mile I travel testify to Your boundless love and forgiving grace…. 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.”

The new month, a time of restoration and new riding season, holds the promise of a fresh start.
The enemy may try to steal our joy, peace, health, and love for God (John 10:10), but Jesus Christ comes to offer us abundant life. In this month of May, let’s fervently ask the Lord to restore us, so we can once again revel in a close relationship with Him and continue to Ride the Good Ride of Faith.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing Spirit to sustain me Psalms 51:12 NIV
Let’s Us Pray!
Father God, the source of restoration, I humbly approach Your throne of grace to worship and honor You. This month of May, I earnestly seek restoration. I pray that the cleansing power of the blood of Jesus will wash away all my sins, granting me a fresh start to a wonderful and safe riding season filled with joy, peace, love, and healing. I trust in Your promise that all things are made new in Christ, and I eagerly anticipate another chance to begin anew in Your presence and power
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
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.

Welcoming a new month is like embracing a dear friend who has come to remind you that every day is a new opportunity to create your story. Each month offers a fresh start, a blank page to fill with your dreams and aspirations. Starting a new month is like taking a deep breath of fresh air, feeling the freedom of the open road to pursue your goals you wish to accomplish this riding season.
I have over 930 songs on my YouTube Mrs. Cavatica Playlist. Before we begin a ride, I shuffle the playlist. What are the odds that as we finally get to a stretch of riding the country roads, the song “Yellow” by India Arie starts to play as I begin to notice fields of yellow flowers along the country roads?
I couldn’t help but laugh because what are the odds that out of 930 songs, a song about the color yellow would start playing at the precise moment we are riding alongside fields of yellow flowers?
But that’s our God! He always offers moments to commune with Him, especially when riding on the open road, through the green trees, and under the blue sky. He’s always offering us moments to connect with Him. But it’s challenging. Many things prevent us from communing, being present, and being mentally open, keeping us in a constant tailspin and leaving us emotionally drained at the end of the day.
You see, the color yellow is a fascinating color with a variety of meanings. It symbolizes freshness, happiness, positivity, clarity, energy, optimism, enlightenment, remembrance, intellect, honor, loyalty, and joy. It is also considered the most visible color of the spectrum and is believed to represent faith, the glory of God, anointing, and joy biblically. So, if the color yellow and the song stay in yellow is speaking to me through this ride… Lord, how do I stay in this mental space with you? How do I stay in the yellow? In happiness, positivity, clarity, optimism, faith, your glory, your anointing, and joy! RIDE
And there lies the message from this rides adventure: We Ride. We ride as much as we can and as often as we can. We look and listen for the signs that lovingly remind us that God will never leave us or forsake us Deuteronomy 31:8 and that he is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in our time of need Psalm 46:1
A Bright Yellow Field Full of Plains Coreopsis (Coreopsis tinctoria) Wildflowers in Texas
As the riding season approaches, let us focus on staying in the Yellow. Let’s take this opportunity to find rides that speak to our souls, rejuvenate our spirits and allow us to connect with the magnificence of God’s creations.
Let us Pray!
Gracious Father, I am humbled by the signs and wonders you have bestowed upon me, but above all, I am grateful for the gift of life you have given me. With my soul in your loving hands and the beauty of your creation surrounding me, I am constantly reminded of your abundant blessings. Thank you for guiding me on this journey and for the many blessings that enrich my life along the way.
In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen!
Faith Step: How do you plan on staying in the Yellow this riding season? Which rides are you looking forward to that will refresh your soul, give you a break from the everyday busyness, and provide you with an opportunity to connect with the beauty of God’s creations?

The Lord himself goes before you and will be you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged – Deuteronomy 31:8
This year, I said I would stretch and test my Faith more. I wanted to see what I was made of, be a big girl, and venture out on a ride alone. You see, since becoming a Can-Am Spyder Rider, I can count on two fingers how many times I have ridden my bike alone without my husband. I have been wrestling with the fear of loneliness a lot lately, but it’s a feeling I have to conquer.
There comes a time when you, as a Can-Am Spyder of Faith, will have to stretch it. Test it! Work it. Put it and yourself into action. “Faith isn’t Faith if you don’t Test it. Work it! Or just flat out… Don’t have Faith in your Faith. For Faith to work, you must get out of the boat, Trust God, and take him at his word. Faith without work is Dead. And to enjoy this life and the Good Ride of Faith, you have to have Faith in your Faith. And how do you have Faith in your Faith? Remember when you needed God, and he was there for you; recall his promise to you. And then TRUST Him!
My Ride was beautiful! I went on a 164-mile Chapter Ride with our chapter without my husband, and it felt Great. It was initially strange and a little unsettling because I got to feel what my life would be like as a Can-Am Spyder Rider without a Spouse. But as I rode that beautiful Texas morning, the Spirit of God spoke to my Spirit. “You are never alone, for I AM with you. I will never leave you, nor will I ever forsake you. I AM the God of Hills and Valleys, and wherever You ride, I AM with you.” Thank you God!
The Hills and Valleys on this side of heaven will at some point will bring loneliness… temporary or permanent either way life will go on with or without you. So, trust that for every Valley of loneliness, The God of the Hills will be there riding with you there also.
Faith Step: Trust God and take HIM at his word. The Lord himself goes before you and will be you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged – Deuteronomy 31:8

Welcoming a new month can be beautiful because it reminds us of newness. It gives us the gift of an undeserved do-over, a reset, a back-to-one, another chance to get it right. A chance to consider new opportunities, chances, places, and blessings.
It can allow us to see God turn the page of “you” into a new chapter filled with His peace and blessings. Allowing us the opportunity to look back on January with gratitude and happiness. Then, look forward with hope. I don’t know about your January, but I felt much loss. Some unexpectedly and some by choice. And experiencing that loss at the beginning of the year gives one pause for concern…LORD! What else is going to happen??? But loss gives way to HOPE, and HOPE with a long ride on the open road can fuel your FAITH.
As we make our way through this month of LOVE, here are a few things to remember as you ride into February… God is with you, and will never forsake you. And no matter where and how far you ride, you will NEVER be able to outrun HIS love for you. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord – Romans:38-39
So, I pray that you grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ Peter 3:18 , and that your faith is increased and strengthened so that you may do great and mighty things with it. Luke 17:5
I pray that the Holy Spirit will speak to you with each ride you take this month and that every word spoken to you will not fall among thorns this month of February. They will not be choked with the cares, riches, and pleasures of this life, bringing no fruit to perfection. Instead, they will fall on a good ground, in an honest and good heart. I pray that you will listen to God’s Word and keep HIS word until you bring forth fruit with patience. Luke 8:14-15, and I pray that the Spirit of St. Micheal will go before you this month, protecting you with His sword extended and shield lifted high so that you may continue to Ride the Good Ride of faith – La & Mrs. Cavatica

We made it! Maybe a little weary and worn from all the tough battles fought in 2023, But GOD said NO! And 2023 had to release its grip around our Hearts, Souls, and Minds. Today reminds me of Moses’s words in Exodus 14:13 over the Children of Israel. Looking behind them, they saw the Egyptians coming after them after being delivered by the mighty hand of GOD. Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm, and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. You see, the children of Israel were delivered by the mighty hand of God, yet when they looked behind them, they saw the Egyptians coming after them.
You see, Pharaoh’s Army intended to bring the children of Israel back under bondage. Don’t you dare let the battles of 2023 keep you from the blessings of 2024! Don’t look back at 2023 as a “What if,” “I Should Have,” or “May if I.” That season and chapter is OVER! Today is a NEW SEASON, and YOU can begin again with a clean slate. A blank canvas, a freshly shaped sword of faith to fight off whatever skims and plans the devil may bring this year. Remember, he has a job as well, one that steals, kills, and destroys.
2023 was a year of LETTING GO! I had to let go of relationships that no longer fueled my faith and let go of unfulfilled desires, such as canceled vacation motorcycle chapter rides and one that was too hot for me to make the trip. But that’s over; that time and opportunity have passed. And yes! I have looked back with fear of going forward and regret living in the past. Like the children of Israel who became afraid after leaving Egypt, cried out to Moses, and complained that he had brought them here to die. They said it would have been better if they had stayed where they were, under bondage. Sadly, there is a bit of comfort in staying in bondage, in the mud pits, making bricks without straw, while having all hope beaten out of you by the enemy’s whip.
Moving on in 2024 without a clear path forward can be scary. Especially if you are fresh out of the pit, still muddy and bloody from 2023. But I love what Moses says to the Children of Israel…
don’t be afraid, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord today.’ I know we all know this story, but there is one nugget that I want you to take advantage of going into 2024. Moses said, ‘For this enemy that you see today, you shall see no more forever.’
Do not be afraid. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace. Exodus 14:13-14
Moses told them that if they stood firm and stood still, they would do two things: see God’s salvation that day and never see that same enemy again. Now! That will Preach! If you can stand firm this year when you look ahead, and should you see no way out and look behind, and the enemy is on your tail, if you can stand firm in 2024, you are promised to see the battles of 2023, and it’s enemies no more. You might have new ones, but with all the wisdom you gained in 2023, your faith, hope, and strength will help you face this year with GRACE! I always start the New year out with one word that will keep me focused as the weeks and months roll by. This year my word of focus is TRUST! Trust God on everything and for everything. Trust in His plan for my life.
What’s a Word that will keep your heart and mind focued for the 2024?
May you Ride & See God’s salvation this year and May you never see the enemy of 2023 again!
Let’s Declare Jeremiah 29:11 over our lives this year!
All of God’s thoughts for me are for good and never evil. His plans are to make me prosperous, give me hope, and provide me with a glorious future. He has handpicked everything that is best for me in life and presents it to me with great joy. His desire for me is to live in his abundance. My call brings a smile to my father’s face, and he listens to me with great concern. When I seek him with all of my heart, he sees to it that I find him. He has rescued me from the powers of darkness and is now enjoying my continual companionship.
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.

Before you freakout about this photo… I was slowing down and coming to a complete stop to turn. This was my 1-sec. of Crazy FAITH! Don’t try this without it!
Now, about September…
If not, riding my Spyder since May 28th in Texas heat has taught me anything; these last months of 100-degree temperatures, it has encouraged me to live boldly. I love the line from the poem “Meant to Shine” by Marianne Williams that says, “Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.” Yes! The smoldering temperatures kept me side-lined longer than I wanted to be, but it also gave me time to consider how I Live within the blessing of God. On September 2nd, My husband and I celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary. We could take a trip to Cali for an extended playdate with the 2nd grandbaby, and the temperature finally broke where I could test out my new cooling vest and get in a long overdue ride on my Spyder Mrs. Cavatica.
And even though this ridiculous mixed-up world would have you believe there is no God and all that you know to be right is now wrong, it’s always proven to be, without a doubt, one big lie from the pit of hell. It only takes one long ride down a curvy country road on a Can-Am Spyer to see that God still blesses His people and leans in our direction. That’s the beauty of riding a Can-Am Spyder on the open road as a woman of Faith. It helps me see that God is still on the throne and in the business of blessing His people, which comforts me—knowing that we can live boldly and unapologetically in the blessing and favor God has bestowed upon us. Don’t interpret Live Boldly as meaning “spend big,” “live large,” or be braggadocious. But Living Boldly is about your life’s size, not your wallet’s. Living boldly, means walking in your Truth or Ryding in the Truth of who you are—acting with intention. Believing you can do what you set your mind to. It means taking chances, putting yourself out there, and knowing you deserve a life you love and authentically yours. Declaring that if it were not or had not been for God being on our side… we would all be a HOT-ER MESS!
Everything is possible for one who believes
Mark 9:23
Here’s the bless lesson as we wind down these last few weeks of September. Live Boldly! Be intentional (be where you want to be) and declare who got you there! and guard your peace. Riding the open road on my Spyder helps me Live Boldly because I can see that despite what the world would have me believe and feel, The Spirit of God shows me time and time again that “Everything is possible for one who believes.” – MARK 9:23.
So, wind sistah’s and brotha’s Live Boldly! Don’t be anxious about anything. Live like you are the child of the Most High king. Live as though your Father owns cattle on a thousand hills and Ryde the open road as though you are the apple of your Father in heaven’s eye. Trust in His care and concern for you. And don’t forget to love big while you are at it, because we serve a BIG GOD!
With that being said, I love the following line in Marianna Williams’s poem “Meant to Shine” and Why We Should Live Boldly because “There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to manifest the glory of God within us.”
Live Boldly, Ryde Bravely, and may your light permit others to do the same!
Ride Safe, Stay in Faith,

And just like that! June has moved on, and July has taken its place. We’re waking up to a restless Wednesday morning. Our neighbor next door decided to reenact bombs over Baghdad up til 2 am. They had no chill or concern for those who wanted to wind down the nation’s birthday with peace, quietness, and a good night’s sleep.
Our family celebrated Saturday because everyone wanted to relax and chill out for the 4th. Plus, Texas is still giving us a lil taste of what pre-heating in hell feels like, so there’s that! The pool felt like a lukewarm bath, but at least it was wet and gave us a lil relief when sitting poolside, giving our skin a break from looking waterlogged.
As I took a break from the water, watching the family enjoy themselves in the pool, I had to remind myself what the 4th of July was all about—celebrating our nation’s Independence, the celebration of our Freedom. I had to reflect on the many blessings God has bestowed upon us and my country tis of thee…sweet land of liberty, as confused, sinful, and racially divided as she is. God still blesses her with his Grace, Goodness, and Mercy.
Lord, make us worthy of Your gift of Freedom – LaShaun Jackson
This is why I love riding my Spyder Mrs. Cavatica on the open road so much. It allows me to see the beauty of God’s hand upon our country. It allows me to see beyond our country’s imperfections and shortcomings and see America’s hope and potential. That there is a God that sits high and looks low and will find you and me no matter where the road takes us, no matter the problem, situation, or circumstance.
I heard it said, “If you look for the bad, you will surely find it,” but you can’t have one without the other, so if you look for the Good, I’m guessing you will find it. You can’t have Bad without Good. So, as you ride this month of July, look for the Good and thank God that you can do so in one of the most significant countries on this side of heaven. Yes! She has her issues but only because of human sinfulness. This is why I love what is declared in 2 Chronicles 7:14 that if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
Sure! It was a conversation the Lord had with Solomon regarding the building of the temple. Still, we can learn a lot from this scripture by walking it out, or in our case, Ryde it out by cultivating humility with everyone we meet and in our relationship with God. Enjoying our Freedom as we Ryde the Good Ride of Faith but recognizing our limitations, embracing our dependence on God, making prayer a priority in our daily life, seeking God’s presence and guidance on and off the bike in every situation, and committing to ongoing self-examination and repentance, turning away from sinful behavior, and aligning our life and Ryde on the open road with God’s will.
So, as you take on July, may your Faith increase as you Ryde the open road enjoying the Freedoms of a beautiful country that, despite everything that was once right, is now wrong, and everything that was once wrong is now right, God still loves her and because of that love, we can try and see the Good when we take to the open road as we Riding the Good Ride of Faith.
HOW DO YOU STAY FOCUSED ON THE GOOD ON AND OFF THE BIKE?
May the Joy of the Lord instantly become your strength to encourage you to overcome any fears that you might experience.

Father God, with every mile I ride this month, guide me in every problem and decision I make. Father, give me the grace and compassion to treat everyone I meet along the way kindly, fairly, and thoughtfully. Please help me to be present with every soul I meet because it is an opportunity for them to meet you through me.
Father, with every ride I take this month of June, refresh my Spirit and change my thoughts to be in rhythm with your heavenly power.
In the Might name of your Son, Jesus I pray… Amen.
The more I spend time riding the open road, the more I see the sovereignty of God’s hand in each Ride. He is the God of all creation and the universe, and HE has the final say over all seen, and unseen. So, when you Believe in him, give your life over to him, and put your Hope, Faith, and Trust in Him. You are literally saying LORD HAVE THY WAY! From a Chapter Group Ride perspective, you essentially allow God to be the Road Captain of your life when riding the open road. As it pertains to Chapter Rides, a Road Captain is the name for the rider who coordinates a multiple-bike ride.
“SPIKE”, Road Captain
Road captains can refer to both the leader and the sweepers who, among their other duties, check that other riders are safe. Working as part of a team, the road captain is responsible for the riders’ safety and the Ride’s smooth running. Duties include planning, thinking ahead, communication, and rider education. The road captain may even act as a tour guide. Now, what are the odds of a Road Captain’s duties sounding like a few of the Hopes and Promises found in Jeremiah 29:11, which reads…
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Our Spring Vacation Chapter Ride to the Ozarks was canceled due to bad weather in the area. It was a hard pill to swallow seeing all the Facebook posts of fellow riders who took their lemons and made lemonade. As I unpacked my bags, my eyes teared up a bit because in my mind’s eye and especially after the hill country vacation ride last year… we were ready. We had been waiting and hoped to go on this Ride for a year.
When you have been hoping for something for so long, you don’t want to put it off…because Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life – Proverbs 13-12. But it’s that word “longing” that’s the kicker. Because when you have been longing for something, the expectations of receiving what you have been longing for grow as well. We all knew in our hearts that canceling the ride was the right call, and to the veteran’ riders in the chapter with hundreds, if not thousands of vacation rides under their belts, it was a shrug of the shoulders. You could tell by their Facebook post they had experienced this kind of disappoint many times, as veteran riders of the open road.
For someone new longing for the experience of a vacation motorcycle chapter ride … watching fellow riders’ Facebook post quickly shifting gears, into taking advantage of the time requested off, finding other little vacation spots to visit that weren’t impeded by the rain, felt like a bully knocking my 3 scoops ice cream cone out of my hand to the ground. But sticking to our “Couples Who Ride Together, Survive Together” golden rule.”
If a ride is canceled at the last minute, that is your queue to stay put. Refrain from replacing a ride with one that was canceled last minute.
LaShaun Jackson: Couples who Ride together, Survive together Golden Ride Rules
That’s when I realized that placing Hope in any situation – no matter how good or long you have waited – will fail…dare I say get rained out. But keeping your Hope in the GOD of HOPE will never disappoint you. I believe God will give us another opportunity to ride the Ozarks one day and His timing will be perfect, just like it was in the Hill Country of Texas last year.
La & Mrs. Cavatica my Can-Am Spyder f3t Riding Twisted Sister Ranch Road 335
We can feel hopeful about all sorts of circumstances – like lousy weather canceling a long-awaited motorcycle vacation ride. But there is HOPE inside of every circumstance. So, as you gear up, mount up and take to the open road this riding season, May the GOD of Hope fill you with all the joy and peace as you trust the plan, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. And remember when plans are canceled, our lives are not so much about what happens to us or what God does or doesn’t do for us, but that we have Hope in Him, in His promises, and in every circumstance.
Dear wind Sistah, don’t you dare lose Hope when plans change. Because we can’t have FAITH without Hope, and we can’t ride “The Good Ride of Faith” without it. Hope will and can activate your FAITH: “Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see” (Hebrews 1:11).
Thought To Ponder
What does it mean to trust God? Can you give some examples of when you have trusted God in your Ride, and how you made the decision to trust him rather than lean on your own understanding and strength?
Declaration of Faith!
I give my whole heart to trust in you, Lord. I will not be a fool who balances my life on the brace of human understanding. I am always God-inside-minded and never cease to acknowledge HIS presence to guide me in everything I do. He sees what I cannot see and knows what I do not know. With Him as my road captain, all my paths are made straight. Therefore, I will never put my own wisdom before the Lord’s.
Proverbs 3:5-6
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.
