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.

Guided Through Darkness

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

Be That!

On By lashaunjacksonIn Faith Fuel, Prayers of Faith2 Comments

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.”

Prayer for Divine Assurance

On By lashaunjacksonIn Armor of Faith, Prayers of FaithLeave a comment

Let Us Pray!

Heavenly Father, I come before You seeking divine assurance in my journey through life. In moments of uncertainty, guide me with Your light and grant me the strength to embrace each day with faith.

Father God, help me to trust in Your plan, even when the path seems unclear, and fill my heart with peace amid the challenges I face. Lord, remind me of Your presence in every moment, whether I’m navigating the open road or the twists and turns of life.

Father God, Let the beauty of Your creation inspire me, and may I find solace in the simplicity of each experience. Bless my travels and those I journey with, surrounding us with Your protection and love. As I ride through the uncertainty, instill in me a deep sense of gratitude for the blessings I have.

Father God, help me to embrace my adventures with an open heart, trusting in Your guidance and finding joy in the present moment. Thank You for Your unwavering love and support and for the assurance that You are always beside me. May I carry this faith within me, sharing it with others as I Ryde the Good Ryde of Faith.

In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

I reflected on Jesus during those fearful hours in the Garden of Gethsemane. He was fully aware of the overwhelming fear He faced, yet He chose to embrace the cross, trusting in His Father's plan.

Thy Will

On By lashaunjacksonIn Faith Fuel, Prayers of Faith, UncategorizedLeave a comment

” My Father, if possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”

Matthew 26:39 (NIV)

Greetings! Happy April blessings to you, dearest Ryder. I’m often a little late with my monthly words of encouragement, mainly because I like to see how the first week of a new month develops. I find that the first few days of a new month often sets the tone for how the month unfolds.

As riding season beckons us to gear up, mount our bikes, and hit the open road for some much-needed wind therapy, I need to reacquaint myself with my bike and everything related to riding. And that can test your Faith and tingle your spidey senses. This year, I have decided to stretch my skills as a rider, break away from the middle of the pack, and learn how to lead an all-ladies Spyder ride. My faith and confidence wrestled with the fear of being out in front, and as the date of the ride approached, the weight of taking on the responsibility was more than I wanted to bear.

In this season of Easter and resurrection, I reflected on Jesus during those fearful hours in the Garden of Gethsemane. He was fully aware of the overwhelming fear He faced, yet He chose to embrace the cross, trusting in His Father’s plan. Even though I hoped for rain on the morning of the ride to cancel it, I remembered how Jesus prayed to His Father to take the cup from Him. I recognized that the will of the Father had to be done. As a woman of faith, my desire is to encourage and inspire other women to ride confidently on the open road.

As we celebrate the Resurrection, my prayer is that the joy and promise of Sunday morning—the day the stone was rolled away and the grave was empty—will renew your hope and faith. May you embrace the opportunity to grow your skills as a rider and explore new paths on the journey of faith. Keep riding the Good Ride of Faith!

Let’s Pray!

Father God,

In moments of fear and uncertainty, I come to You, just as Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane. I acknowledge my fears and the weight of uncertainty that often settles upon my heart. Yet, like Your Son, I seek the strength to face these challenges with courage and faith.

Father God, help me to embrace my fears and to trust in Your divine plan for my life. Grant me the wisdom to see beyond my doubts and the confidence to take steps forward, knowing You Walk beside me. As I face my own “cup,” may I find solace in Your presence and the assurance that You are in control.

Fill me with the peace that surpasses all understanding, reminding me that even in my struggles, there is a greater purpose at work. May I reflect the love and strength of Christ, sharing encouragement with others who walk the same path.

Thank You for Your unfailing love and support. I surrender my fears to You, knowing that with faith, I can rise above them and keep Ryding The Good Ryde of Faith.

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.”

Love Thy Self

On By lashaunjacksonIn Prayers of FaithLeave a comment

You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden – Matthew 5:14

Happy 6th day of February! It’s the month of Love, and with Valentine’s Day around the corner, it’s my prayer that as you shower those you love with cards, candy, and flowers, you also take time out to show yourself some love.

You see, Women who love to ride Can-Am Spyders share a passion for adventure and freedom on the open road. Whether we’re cruising along scenic highways or tackling winding back roads, we enjoy a unique blend of comfort and excitement that comes with riding our bike.

I believe that when you show yourself some love, that love radiates from you and lights the way for other women. It encourages them to take a three-wheel riding class, gear up, mount their bikes, and hit the road, riding the good ride of faith.

Along with the excitement of riding, many women in this 3 wheel community build lasting friendships, take part in group rides and events, and connect over their shared passion for motorcycling. It’s not just about the bike; it’s about empowerment, exploration, and forming bonds with fellow enthusiasts…we affectionately call our windsisters

If you’re a woman who loves the thrill of riding a Can-Am Spyder, take this month of love as an opportunity to treat yourself. Consider investing in a stylish pair of riding gloves, some comfortable boots, or a fun red T-shirt. It’s important to do something special for yourself—show yourself some love while also appreciating your ride. Why not plan a Valentine’s ride on your Spyder? Remember, it’s not just about giving your love away; make sure to save some for yourself and your beloved bike.

Let Us Pray!

Father God, Today, I take a moment to embrace the love within me. I ask for the strength to appreciate my unique qualities and to honor the journey I’m on. Help me to let go of self-doubt and to replace it with confidence and compassion.

Father God, guide me to see my worth and to treat myself with kindness, recognizing that I am deserving of love and joy. May I be gentle with myself in times of struggle when doing life on the bike and off the bike and celebrate my triumphs, no matter how small. As I care for those that love me, let me also remember to nurture my own Spirit.

May I find time for activities that bring me happiness and fulfillment, reminding myself that self-love is not selfish at all but necessary.

Father God, Thank you for this beautiful life and the ability to grow in love every day as I ryde. May I radiate this love outward, inspiring others to love themselves as well.

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.”

October Blessing

Father God, in this beautiful October fall, we are in awe of your beauty and the blessings of all you have created as we journey on the open road. As the leaves change and the air around us grows chilly, we pray that the warmth of your love continues to surround us and keep us safe wherever the road may take us. In moments of fear, worry, and doubt, we seek your divine guidance to plant seeds of unswerving faith that will guide our hearts and minds, transcending all understanding. May each journey yield a harvest of peace, love, and joy, as we trust in your guidance and protection.

Surrender

On By lashaunjacksonIn Thoughts To PonderLeave a comment

“Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth” Psalm 46:8 says, (NASB).

September is here, marking the transition from summer to fall and ushering in an energy that makes us want to savor every moment. Living in Texas, we are counting down to cooler weather, crisp mornings, and cozy evenings! Some of our best riding is just around the corner.

If you’ve been following my Spyder Riding Adventures on my YouTube Channel, “Adventures of Fearless Faith,” you know that I just finished posting the videos of my 10-Day Chapter Vacation Ride to The Carolinas and Myrtle Beach. Coming off of such an Epic adventure, I started reflecting on my time spent Ryding on the open road.

When we left Texas, I was determined to become the best rider. I was striving for perfection and trying to control everything. When we face challenges in life, it’s tempting to rely on our own understanding.

As a Christ follower, one of the hardest lessons I have had to learn on this 10-day vacation ride (and still am learning) is the difference between STRIVING and SURRENDER. Striving can lead to a constant battle to control everything, which can lead to stress and burnout. Many of us can relate to this struggle, especially when we’re on the open road.

When you surrender, you stop fighting, hiding, and resisting the need to control everything in your life. You let go and focus on accepting what God has chosen to do through you. This acceptance brings a relief that transcends all understanding. You ride surrendered, in a state of calm and trust.

I’ve come to understand the contrast between striving and surrendering. I’ve realized that when we allow ourselves, our bodies, emotions, thoughts, and sensations to settle into the experience, we become surrendered, and that’s where we grow as riders and in our faith. The Spirit of God doesn’t want a striving rider on the open road; He wants us to be surrendered, riding the open road.

“And there’s the blesson from this adventure. What is a blesson, you ask? A blesson occurs when you view painful experiences as blessings. It’s what happens when you stop striving and surrender to the blessing in the lesson that your challenges have taught you. In other words, a blesson occurs when you perceive painful lessons as blessings. It’s what happens when you stop striving and surrender to the blessing in the lesson that your challenges have taught you.”

What does surrender look like for you? What is God calling you to release or surrender to Him right now? So, you can Ride the Good Ryde of Faith. Start by expressing your desire to surrender through prayer. Speaking to God from your heart, sharing your fears, heart desires and willingness to trust in God’s plan for your life and your ride on the open road.

“May the joy of the Lord instantly become your strength, encouraging you to overcome any fears. Remember that 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 as we ride the good ride of faith.”

Summertime

On By lashaunjacksonIn Faith Fuel, Prayers of Faith, UncategorizedLeave a comment

He made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down. Psalm 104:19

And just like that… July is here! I admit when I read this scripture from my morning devotional, I couldn’t help but chuckle. “Well, if the sun knows when to go down, it should also know how to turn down.” You know, dial its temperature back a few degrees. It’s like the sun needs a thermostat, right?

Just as we adjust our speed and technique to navigate the twists and turns of the open road, it’s our trial by fire to ensure we understand there are levels to riding on the open road in Faith. Like our riding skills, our Faith is tested and strengthened as we journey through life.
We’ve all been feeling the heat! With its unrelenting humidity and it’s hard to see the beauty, goodness, and faithfulness of God when you’re suffering from its heat index.

So, let’s bask in the beauty of summer and remember that every riding season on the open road is a blessing from our heavenly Father. The extended days, the blooming flowers, and the abundance of life we see as we ride the open road are all reminders that the heavens tell the glory of God and are a marvelous display of his craftsmanship. So, as you ride in the summer heart this month, take a moment to marvel at its beauty.

Listen, I know it’s HOT! But let us embrace this joyous time that many are not getting to see. Let its warmth and vibrancy fill your heart and fill your ride with a deep sense of gratitude for riding Can-Am Spyders on the open Road.

Let us Pray!

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of summer and all the beauty it brings to life. May it remind me as I ride the Good Ride of Faith of Your unending Goodness. We are truly blessed.

“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.”

Prayer for May

On By lashaunjacksonIn Prayers of Faith, UncategorizedLeave a comment

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.
