Sometimes you just need to ride… Nowhere in particular… Just ride.
I found myself needing to take a quick spin on my Spyder, Mrs. Cavatica, this hot, sunny Thursday afternoon.
But before taking off, I felt a little discombobulated, detached, if you might say from my bike and the ride.
So I took a moment to connect with her… sit for a moment and look over her controls and feel the throttle in my hand (I noticed I forgot my gloves).

I took a quick mental picture of my route and centered my thoughts on what Mrs. Cavatica and I were about to embark on. For this day, ordered up a short solo “reconnect” ride around our neck of the woods.

Instantly! I was reminded how unattached we are to life. We move through everything like a scroll or flick of the finger. As my late grandmother would say, we treat anything as if it all needs immediate attention vs. stopping to smell the coffee.

So, I stopped and took a moment, and reminded myself to slow it down. Connect with this beautiful hot, sunny Texas day because someone didn’t rise to see it. And enjoy the beautiful bike that allows me the 3 wheel freedom of riding the open roads with Fearless Faith.

I heard it said…
“Life is not about the destination. It’s all about the journey.” Well, the same could be said for riding 3 wheels…
“The ride is not about the destination. It is all about living in the moment of the 3 wheel journey.

Declaration of Faith for Taking in Moments

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for giving me this moment to be still and know you are God. Slow my heart to beat in rhyme with yours and quite my mind to hear your voice. Allow me to be present in the gift of riding the open road. Father, slow me down that I may see all that you are and all that you are doing around me.

Psalm 46:10, 37:7-9 Romans 12:2, Hebrew 3:7,

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.

If this post ministered to you or encourage you in any way, please share with your fellow Wind Sisters.

Be strong and of good courage,
LaShaun and Mrs. Cavatica
