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

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
