Aug. 15 – Sorry it has been so long since I have given you an update. To be honest, this summer has been tough, and I was getting weary and a little down. You can ride when you are hurt, but you don’t ride well. That takes a toll on a person, at least it did me. Thank God, I won enough to pay the bills but I didn’t come close to the goals I had set for the summer. It is always tough being away from my family, but with Brodie going to college this fall, it was even tougher. I was getting discouraged and I needed to go home and rest and let my leg heal.
I do not like to pass negativity on, so I chose not to give you any updates. Instead, I am home recharging my spirit. In Isaiah 40:31, it says, “Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint.”
It is never fun going through tough times, but we have to learn to wait on the Lord. I am learning that waiting is not a passive “pass the time” but an active service as a waiter in a restaurant.—It is still a lesson is progress.
