After a late night last night i awoke early and rode over to main street for the dickens 50miler. This was my last bike ride of the year and don’t care to even look at my bike till next season! I had a blast riding with my riding partner for the past two years – Todd, as well as some of Amy and I’s closest friends in Claremore – Matt & Rachel. After only riding 12 miles in the past month – I was suprised my legs felt as good as they did. We got to spend a little time afterwards showing kids how to ride properly.
A few days ago I found out that the lease on my truck and I will be getting a new one come Monday. It is a nice little perk that comes with my inspector job. Due to gas prices, I will be down sizing to a Ford Ranger – but no complaints still get a truck! As I spent time washing and cleaning out my Silverado – my heart was actually saddened. I told Amy that I felt a little depressed. For the past three years this has been my prayer & worship closet on wheels. God confirmed my calling in this truck. I’ve cried a billion tears driving all over northeast Oklahoma in this thing. I never thought I could grow attached to a vehicle like this – has nothing to do with it’s materialistic value, but has all to do with its spiritual value and what it has represented. Many months ago I came across a picture of a well and put it in my truck to constantly keep me in prayer regarding the vision God placed in my heart. It just happens to now be our icon for our logo…
Have you ever had a vehicle or something you had to give up that meant alot due to its spiritual value?
