My new bike

 

 

I prayed about getting  a bike. I did not want to take

money from our family budget to buy it. I asked the Lord

to provide it for me , if He wanted me to have it.

So one person gave me some money for  a gift, then the Lord sent me a

babysitting job, then some Avon sales and after all that I was $35 short of the total

needed for this bike. I was scrambling (oh me of little faith),

to find out where I would get the last $35. I was digging around, oh I could sell this and get $15. or this???

Then , I got my commission check from

Avon. Its always weird amounts, like $7.92, or$ 22.37 or $51.09.

This check also was from 4 weeks ago, so when I got it,

I realized, again, that God always takes care of things...

The check was EXACTLY $35.

So here is my lovely new road bike, thanks to the Lord

and John down at Mountain View Cyclery in Hayden ID for selling me a used bike,

in excellent condition.

 

I have not named it yet. My friend Meredith says you should name your bike.

Rachel said I should name it 20 miles, so then I could say, "I rode 20 miles today!!"

LOL Rachel.

 

 

 

 Ironman CDA Update:

I got to meet Meredith Atwood (SwimBikeMom)

 

down at Lake Cda, it was pouring and we got to chat a little.

The day of the race, I went to church , then came out in the afternoon and sat on the corner of Sherman and watched for hours, I missed her when she came

by running.....UGH

So my friend Linda and I went back downtown again at 8pm, and cheered as finishers came by, it was a lot of fun. I went home at 10pm and watched online as she ran to the finish line!!

Great Job , Meredith, You are an Ironman!!!

 

 

 

 BTW: I promised Pastor I would never do an Ironman, well of course, because its on Sunday.

LOL
