Pour It Out!

On By lashaunjacksonIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

“She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial.”
— Mark 14:8

There is something powerful about a woman who walks into a room carrying something precious and refuses to let the room determine what she does with it.

In Luke 7, we meet a woman whose reputation had already been established before she ever opened her mouth. People knew her past. They formed their opinions. They had already decided who she was.

But she walked in anyway.

And she brought her alabaster box with her.

She didn’t ask the room for permission.

She poured it out.

FUEL STOP

Have you ever walked into a room and wondered if you belonged there?

Maybe it was a new job.

A new community.

A group ryde.

A family gathering.

Or simply a space where everyone seemed to know each other except you.

And while everyone else saw you smiling and showing up, inside you were asking:

Do I belong here?

Am I enough?

Do I really have what it takes?

Here’s what I’ve learned: Sometimes the first act of courage isn’t confidence. It’s simply showing up.

You can be nervous and still walk through the door. You can be uncertain and still take the ryde.

You can be healing and still move forward. You can be afraid and still say, “I’m going anyway.”

That’s what fearless faith looks like. Not the absence of fear. The decision to move forward despite it.

FAITH REFLECTION

The woman with the alabaster box reminds us that what people see isn’t always what God sees.

The room saw her past.

Jesus saw her heart.

The room saw her reputation.

Jesus saw her worship.

The room saw who she had been.

Jesus saw who she was becoming.

And I think many of us live somewhere between those two realities: Who people say we are… and who God says we are.

So, let me ask you: What are you carrying?

Maybe it’s courage.

Maybe it’s wisdom.

Maybe it’s a dream you’ve been afraid to pursue.

Maybe it’s a testimony.

Maybe it’s forgiveness.

Maybe it’s grief.

Maybe it’s pain from something you’ve survived that nobody else knows about. You can be carrying something sacred and still struggle to believe you’re enough to carry it. That’s when we have to remember the woman with the alabaster box.

She didn’t need the room’s permission to pour out what she carried. And neither do you.

FAITH IN ACTION CHALLENGE

This month, I want you to stop and identify what you’re carrying.

Ask yourself: What has God placed inside of me that I’ve been afraid to pour out?

What gift have I been keeping hidden?

What story have I been afraid to share?

What dream have I talked myself out of?

What part of myself have I been shrinking to make other people comfortable? Then take one small step.

Walk into the room. Speak up. Start the thing. Take the ryde. Share the story. Extend the forgiveness. Use the gift.

LET’S PRAY

Father God,

Thank You for reminding us that what we carry has value. Help us stop allowing other people’s opinions, our past experiences, or our fears to define who we are. Give us the courage to walk into the rooms You’ve called us into without shrinking, apologizing, or questioning whether we belong. Help us recognize the gifts, stories, experiences, and wisdom You’ve placed inside of us. And when we’re tempted to keep everything sealed up because we’re afraid of how others will respond, remind us of the woman with the alabaster box. She didn’t wait for permission.

She poured it out.

Teach us to do the same.

Give us courage to show up.

Courage to heal.

Courage to grow.

Courage to move forward even when we’re afraid. And when we forget who we are, remind us that our worth was never determined by the room. What You placed inside of us is sacred.

In Jesus’ name We Pray

Amen.

Faith for the Next Mile

Prayer for September

Motorcyclist holding a helmet beside a blue touring motorcycle at a scenic overlook

Father God,

As September begins to wind down, we thank You for every mile You allowed us to travel, every road You brought us safely through, and every woman we’ve met along the way.

Thank You for the freedom of the open road, for the wind on our faces, the sound of our engines, and the sisterhood that reminds us we never have to ryde alone.

Father God, continue to cover every woman who climbs onto her Can-Am Bike. Watch over us as we travel near and far. Give us wisdom in every turn, patience in every traffic situation, awareness of what’s around us, and the discernment to know when to slow down, when to stop, and when it’s time to keep moving.

Protect our bodies, our minds, and our spirits. Keep our rydes safe and our hearts encouraged. Let every mile be a reminder that You are still with us, not just on the beautiful roads, but through the difficult ones too.

And Father God, as we prepare to ryde into October, help us release what September taught us to let go of. Give us courage to leave behind what no longer serves Your purpose for our lives and faith to embrace what lies ahead.

May we never confuse a detour with a dead end. May we remember that You can use every twist, turn, delay, and unexpected stop to lead us exactly where You want us to be.

Keep us fearless, not because we know what every road ahead holds, but because we know Who holds us.

Bless our rydes. Bless our sisterhood. Bless our homes, our families, our dreams, and the woman beneath the helmet.

And when we twist that throttle and head down the open road, remind us that every mile is another opportunity to live faith-fueled.

In Jesus’ name I Pray
Amen.

Thought to Ponder

What are you carrying from September that God is asking you to leave at the roadside before you ryde into October?

Sometimes the next chapter doesn’t require us to go faster.

It requires us to travel lighter.

As we ryde toward October, may we release the weight, keep the wisdom, and trust God with the road ahead.

Ride Fearless. Live Faith-Fueled.

Adventurously Yours,

Surrender the Handlebars

On By lashaunjacksonIn Faith Fuel, Prayers of Faith, Uncategorized, Work Your FaithLeave a comment

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.”

Ride Fearless. Live Faith-Fueled.

Remove the man from the scene

Remember

A woman enjoys a sunny ride on a three-wheeled motorcycle along Texas Highway 105.

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.

Heart of The Ryde

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

Guided Through Darkness

On By lashaunjacksonIn Prayers of Faith, UncategorizedLeave a comment

December is a month filled with lights, memories, expectation—and for many—mixed emotions. While some of our windsisters are still able to feel the wind against their helmets, others have their Spyders tucked away beneath blankets of snow. No matter where you ryde or where your bike rests, this season gently reminds us of the greatest gift ever given: Jesus Christ.

For many, December is not only a time of celebration but also a time of reflection. The empty chairs at holiday tables, the loved ones we miss, the weight of the year’s challenges—these can all make the season feel heavy. But even in this, God meets us with comfort, peace, and hope.

Below is a prayer and words of encouragement for every windsister in our Adventures of Fearless Faith community as we close out the year.

Let Us Pray!

Heavenly Father,

As we enter this final month of the year, we pause to honor You, the Giver of every good and perfect gift. Thank You for sending us the greatest gift of all, Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and our Peace.

We lift-up every windsister in the Adventures of Fearless Faith community.
Some of us are still ryding, feeling the air on our faces.
Others have stored their Spyders away for the winter season.
Yet no matter our location, our pace, or the weather, we stand united in Your love.

Lord, you know that December can be a tender time.
Many windsisters carry grief into this month, remembering those no longer with us.
Some battle loneliness, fatigue, or the quiet ache of unmet expectations.
Bring comfort to every heart. Wrap us in Your peace—the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).

Jesus, remind us that even in the darkest seasons, the Light has come (John 1:5).
You are Emmanuel—God with us—and Your presence fills every home, every moment, and every mile we travel. As we close this year, strengthen our bodies, renew our spirits, and prepare us for the adventures ahead. Teach us to ryde boldly into the New Year—fearless, faithful, and full of expectation.

Father God, we declare Psalm 121 over every woman reading this:
“The Lord will guard your coming and your going, both now and forevermore.”

Thank You, Father God, for Your covering, Your protection, and your unshakable love.
Let Your joy rise in us, your hope steadies us, and Your peace guide us into the days ahead.

In Jesus’ mighty name we pray,
Amen.

Words of Encouragement for December 

You are not alone—He is Emmanuel.
Even in silent moments or difficult memories, God is with you.

Your joy is not seasonal—it’s anchored in the Savior.
“The joy of the Lord is your strength.” — Nehemiah 8:10

Whether your wheels are rolling or resting, your faith is still moving forward.

Grief and hope can exist together.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” — Psalm 34:18

Hold on to His promise:
“Behold, I am making all things new.” — Revelation 21:5

As we close out this year, may you feel the warmth of God’s presence, the strength of His love, and the courage to step boldly into everything He has prepared for you 2026!

Now, Ryde Safe & Stay in Faith

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.”

Divine Assurance

On By lashaunjacksonIn Faith Fuel, Thoughts To Ponder, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

Hebrews 11:1(NIV)

Last year, we took a vacation ryde to Big Bend National Park, located in Alpine, Texas. I am currently editing the footage from that adventure, which you can view on the “Adventures of Fearless Faith” YouTube channel. This vacation ryde gave me a new perspective on faith, especially while ryding my Spyder in the remote areas of Texas near the Mexican border. The isolation of that area made me more aware of my need for divine assurance.

Living in a moment of divine assurance means fully embracing the present and allowing the beauty of my surroundings to wash over me. The wind against my face, especially when the heat becomes overwhelming and I need to open my visor, combined with the sun warming my body and the rhythmic hum of the engine, creates a symphony of tranquility. In those moments, I feel a deep sense of gratitude for the journey I’m on, both on the road and in life. Experiencing the breathtaking beauty of Big Bend for the first time while riding my Can-Am Spyder through the park was truly a blessing. The stunning landscapes and unique terrain created an unforgettable adventure, assuring me that this would not be my last ride through this extraordinary wilderness.

Big Bend humbled me and highlighted my smallness in the vastness of nature. For others, the park may spark curiosity with every hill, curve, and relentless test of strength and endurance in the heat. The freedom of Ryding in the wilderness and the perspective gained from it—there’s something about moving through the untamed world on three wheels that redefines the concepts of freedom and faith. The open landscapes, solitude, and raw beauty remind us of the faith that can be found in dry, hot places and of our vastness within the world.

They also illustrate how small yet connected we are. Ryding a Can-Am Spyder on the open road is not just about the thrill of the ride; it’s also a journey that invites a deep sense of faith, both in the machine and in oneself. When I climb aboard my Spyder, I often reflect on the trust I place in its design and engineering. Every twist of the throttle and curve of the road requires confidence—not just in my Ryding skills, but also in the reliability of the bike beneath me, and ultimately, faith in God, my Father who art in heaven.

That faith manifests in various ways. It starts with the belief that the Spyder will handle whatever the road throws my way. Whether I’m navigating tight bends or cruising down an open highway, trusting in the bike’s capabilities allows me to focus on the experience rather than worrying about potential mishaps. This trust transforms the Ryde into a blend of excitement and serenity. Furthermore, Ryding is a metaphor for life’s journey. The open road represents the unknown, filled with unexpected challenges and beautiful surprises. Just like in life, having faith means embracing uncertainty. The feeling of wind on my face and the vast landscape unfolding ahead reminds me that, with faith, I can handle whatever comes my way. Every mile I cover reinforces the notion that it’s not just about the destination—it’s about the journey, my adventure, and the growth that comes from riding, which I call the Good Ride of Faith.

Faith also encourages me to stay present. On long stretches without distractions, I find myself in moments of reflection and gratitude. The sights, silent sounds, and sensations I experienced while riding through Big Bend helped me connect with something greater than myself, grounding me in the moment and reinforcing my appreciation for this wonderful life on the bike that I’m now enjoying with my husband. Every ride is a reminder to let go of fear, trust in my abilities, and embrace the freedom that comes with it. Climbing back on the Spyder and hitting the open road transforms trepidation into excitement, intertwining the spiritual with the visceral.

So, when I take to the road, it’s an invitation to ride with faith—faith in the journey ahead, in the power of the machine, and in my own resilience. Each ride becomes more than just a trivial pursuit; it’s an exploration of trust, hope, and the joy of living fully in the moment of Divine Assurance.

“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.”
