My intentions for this trip

My main objective for this trip is to build my faith and the faith of others. I want to show people that God is real and there is still Love out there in this crazy world. I have no schedule and no plan on what lies ahead. What happens each day is entirely up to our God the Father. God Bless.

A beautiful day

I am just relaxing right now enjoying the weather. It is probably 80 degrees outside. I have just been doing some planning for my adventure when it continues. I'm not sure yet what route I will be taking. I originally wanted to take the south coast. I might be changing a little of that because I might be going to some national parks. It's still up in the air. praise the lord. I am feeling that God is going to do some more amazing things. Again I apologize for this time I am taking off. I can't wait to get back on the road. Thanks again for all the prayers and God Bless.

Follow up

Right now I got my bike in the shop. I'm having a full check up done on the bike. From the gears to the spokes of the rims. I also ordered a couple new parts. I am getting a new set of what I like to call saddle bags. They're actually called panniers. The new ones I am getting are a little bigger and 100% water proof. I also ordered two more touring tires for spares. All this should come in sometime next week. I'm sorry for the time off the bike but i gotta get these things done. I am so pumped up and can't wait to get back on the road. I am shooting to get back on the road around the 4th. I hope everyone can hang in there til then. I know God is going to do some amazing things. Praise the lord. Thanks again for all the prayers and all the love. God Bless. I also posted another video you can check out.

Wow. God shows up again

I say shows up again but God is always present. Check this out. After I posted that video about the church I'm in and the $150 blessing, this happened. So my sister in law Donya was telling me about how they read this chidrens bible to their son every night. She was telling how they talk about me and pray for me. Praise God. About an hour after I talked to her I get a text from my brother Guy. He said he flipped to a random page in the kids bible to this prayer. Its truly amazing.


Dear God, Thank you for new opportunities and new beginnings. Help us to make the best of this new start and to go forward with confidence and joy.

Here I am, Lord, at the end and the beginning - The end of one life, beginning of another; Leaving behind the well-known, well-worn, comfortable things and stepping out into the unknown, unseen, unfamiliar.

It's scary, Lord, this next stage of the journey - where does this ROAD lead? Where will it end? Walk with me, Jesus, hold my hand, be my companion on the journey and together we'll step boldly into the unknown. (Rowena Eldin-White)


It even had a pic of a boy riding a bicycle. Im not joking. This is truly life changing. Thank you God for everything.

Can't explain it

God is amazing. So far I've been sooo blessed. Go check out the latest video. Praise God. Love you all. My videos top right.

Another great morning

It has been 10 nights so far and 8 of those, I have been fed. I just got a great breakfast in me and about to hit the road. Shawn, Becky and their family were wonderful. They even made me three PB&J sandwiches for the road. Praise the lord. God has no doubtingly brought me to the right places everyday. I truly couldn't ask that it be any better. The rain has nothing on me. God bless.

Very tough but absolutely amazing day

Today I rode 80 miles. They were the hardest miles of my life. I was planning on only riding like 50 miles but I got a call from Doug who's house at I stayed at last night. He had called his brother Shawn and he said I could stay there. That was 39 more miles from when I got the call at about 3:30pm. I decked to push for it. After about 20 miles, every pedal was extremely tough. I even thought about stopping. But through God I pressed on and arrived there at around 8:30pm. I rode about 11.5 hours. I never felt so good in my life to arrive somewhere. Praise God. They had dinner ready for me when I got there. I got a shower and my clothes are in the wash. There truly isn't any better feeling than being loved. I've been treated like family every place I have been so far. praise God. I'm 240 miles from Middletown ct and I've rode 450 miles so far. Praise the lord. It truly feels amazing to know how God has been taking care of me. I can't explain it. God bless and thanks for the prayers.

Today was a little tougher

20 miles into the ride today, got another flat. The advasary was defiantly attacking me today. Once my tire went flat I pulled into a gas station. I already had one patch on my front tube. Ends up being a piece of glass in my tire. I know, what the chances? No chances at all, I blame Satan. I was sitting there taking a break wondering what I was going to do. I really need new tires. They had some fix a flat in the gas station so I thought I would give it a try. Definantly did not work. At this point I was wondering what God was going to do for me next. I checked my phone and I had a voicemail from my good friend Ron. So I decided to call him he wanted to see how everything was going. He also told me that his spiritual mother lived in New York and that if she was close, she would probably be happy to take me in for the night. Praise God. So he called her and gave me her number. Pam is her name. Thank God for Pam. She was super excited and called a friend John and Susan who lived 22 miles from where I was. They said they would take me to a bike store. So I rode to their house and they were amazing. Fed me lunch that was delicious. Then they took me to the bike store where I got new tires that are finally made for what I'm doing. Praise the Lord. Then Pam gave me her son Doug's number and I am going to ride to his house and stay there for the night. He is good friends with Ron and he used to live in Ohio I think. I've met him before as well. Praise God. Just when the Advasary thinks he has the upper hand, God comes down and saves the day. Thank you God. God Bless you all. Thanks so much for all the prayers. I don't know what I would do without them.

Taking the day off

Praise the lord. Today I went to church with Don. Then he took me to lunch. I decide because of the rain that I would stay another night so I could get a early start tomorrow. Don said it wasn't a problem at all. He made me feel right at home. He also took me to a store and bought me propel drink mix pouches and some energy bars. Praise God. God never fails to impress me with something new. He also gave me a rosary and a prayer card. The church we went to was a Roman Catholic church. It's nice to experience new things. Praise God. I have all my things packed and ready for the rain. Tomorrow it's back on the road. God bless you all.

God is so great. He always shows up right when you need him

So today I got off at a late start because I had some stuffdone to my bike for better touring of the world. Lol. So I get to riding around 3pm. It's starting to sprinkle a little. Oh and part of what I had done to my bike was that I had a new rack put on. So I had my old one and I was just planning on giving it away to someone I saw riding. So I'm truckin along and it's about 6pm now. I need to start looking for a place to camp. I'm riding by this church an I see another biker who is sitting by his bicycle. So I decide I will ask him if he wants my old bike rack. He ends up being a super nice guy and takes the rack. His names Don. He was interested in my trip so he takes down my blog site. I tell him a little about how I've been asking people to stay on their properties. I didn't ask him though. He had a flat tire and was waiting for a ride. So I continued on. About a mile up the rode he drove up to me and asked me how far I was planning on riding. I told him probably not to much farther cause it might start raining. He said ok and wished me luck on my trip. So I continued on. Praise God. I kind of laughed because I thought he was gonna ask me to stay at his place. A little farther up the rode I get a flat tire. What is it with flat tires? Lol. It was only low so I decided to pump it up and ride a little farther. At this point Don had turned around and pulled over again. Praise re lord. This time he insisted that I stay at his place for the night. I just got showered and I'm washing all my clothes. Oh and they are taking me to dinner. Then in the morning were gonna eat breakfast and goto church. Do you understand how good God is being to me? It's really unbelievable what he is doing. Even at times when the advasary comes against me, God will show up and take over the situation. Praise God. Thank you all for the prayers and God bless. Just so everyone knows my plan is to stay in Conn. a week or so and try and raise some money to buy new tires. Then it's to New York and on to San Fran. Praise God. If God is taking care of me like this so far, why would I stop?

Another amazing breakfast

Just got done eating apple cinnamon pancakes. So good. Thank you God for everything. Got a little longer slew last night. Felt good. I will be on the road probably in about an hour. I will talk to you again soon.

Praise God

First off, just so everybody knows I got on a computer and added a new function to my blog. Praise the lord. Now you can access my videos over there where it says my videos. keep looking. Right there on the top left about where it shows my followers. So now all you have to do is click on that link when I post new videos. Right now I am inside and just got done eating ice cream. Marty bought me dinner at a really good burrito place calld Moe's. He gave me a room and a bed and I'm getting a shower. Praise God. He is into biking as well and it is such a blessing to have met him. He even offered me fruit and all kinds of goodies. I have litterally been treated like family the last 6 days. I can't explain in words what God is doing for me. When a group of people all come together and pray daily for the same cause, Great things happen. I feel so blessed to be the one traveling on this amazing journey. I also can't thank all of you enough for following. I know God will show us all glorious things.  Soon there will be another video or two to watch.  God bless you all. Much Love

Praise God for good people

Right now I am in a car getting ready to come up on the falls. 20 miles from the falls I got two flat tires and my pump broke. The devil thought he would try and take me down. I wasn't gonna let him. So I had changed both tires but I could only pump up the front one half way. At this point I ran into Marty. He was on his way to the falls. Praise God. So I rode with him and found some air for my tire. He then took me to a bike shop where I got a new pump and some more tubes. We then rode to his daughters house where I left my bike. Praise God. He said he would drive me there so I could see it today in the beautiful sun. Supposed to rain all day tomorrow. After the falls he said I can stay either at his place or his sons. Praise the lord. I'm getting close. I will take a video soon. I love you all.

Sorry. Having trouble with posting the video

It's not a video but it will have to do for now. I'll keep trying

I don't even know where to begin. This post is a long one. I wanna tell you about a God we serve. If you don't serve him, then you best be dropping everything right now and asking God into your life. So I'm just gonna start from the beginning. I woke up and packed my stuff up. Jumped on my bike and decided that today I wasn't going to listen to any music while I rode. I wanted to see how encouraged I could be if I just thought about and talked to God. It was great. Today I rode about 65 miles. Praise God. Towards the end was a little tough. It was getting later than I wanted to stop and ask for a camp site. I wanted to hit my 160 mile mark so I kept riding. I finally came along an older man outside so I stopped. I told him what I was doing and asked if I could stay in his yard. He told me that I probably should go down the street to a park. He didn't really say no bust pretty much said try a different place. I said thanks anyways and continued on. I didn't goto the park because it wasn't on route. A little farther up the rode I saw a guy working on his car. I pulled into his driveway and a dog came running up. There were also a bunch of other dogs barking behind his house. I told him my story and asked him if I could stay in his yard. He said he didn't think it would be a good idea because his dogs would bark all night and keep him up. So I said thanks anyways and continued on. At this point I'm thinking in my head that I might have to set up camp in a random spot. Now it's around 6:00 and I'm talking to God. I say "God, if you want me to talk to someone then put them in the middle of the street". I didn't want to fo up to someone if they were to far off the road. Two mins after I said that, I ride up to a kid who is yelling with a sign"lemonade stand" . He was at the end of the driveway in the middle of the country where lemonade stands don't exist. I just start laughing and say to myself occluded I want lemonade. Lol. I stop and ask if I can talk to the owner of the house. One of the two boys goes and gets his mother while the other asks why I want the owner. I tell him my story and that I was going to ask to tent in their yard. He tells me that his mother probably won't care and actually she wants to ride a bike one day around the USA. Praise God. She comes out and I tell her the story and she says ofcourse you can stay here. She had her son set up this pop up camper. Lol she had dinner ready and fed me. Praise the lord. She even had just bought a new blender and made me a whey protein shake. I also got a shower. Lol I even was thinking not too long ago that I wanted power at my next stop to charge everything. Guess what, I have power in a camper. It also rained tonight. But I'm in a camper. Oh and I'm also getting blueberry pancakes for breakfast. Talk about a great God. Two out of the three days so far I got taking in like family and fed dinner. Praise God. Thanks for th prayers and keep them up and God will show us all great things.

God is Great

Just thought I would post real quick. It's 8:55pm and I just received a phone call from the preacher I met yesterday. He just wanted to let me know he was getting ready to pray for me and and that he would every night around the same time. All I gotta say is thank you God!

Day Two

I rode about 50 more miles today. I got my first flat tire. Lol. So just everyone knows, my directions are from google maps. They have the option to hit bike routes. I didn't know but a lot of my trip is off roads and on bike trails. It keeps me safe from traffic but the problem is they're not all paved. I rode six miles on a gravel horse trail.Lol And then about ten miles before my stopping today, I ran into another unpaved trail where my tire went flat. Only took me about 5 mins to change though. While I was fixing that, a guy rode by and asked if I needed help. He told me that there was a bike shop not to far from where I was. So I decided to ride there but it was 5 miles in the opposite direction which is a lot on a bike. Praise God though cause I held my head up. So right now I am at the shop and the owner said I could camp here. He also offer his shower to me but I declined because I felt a little weird about it. Ive been meet people here and there as well. A guy came up to me at a gas station and asked me How far I was riding. He was in the army and told me he just got back and wanted to figure out life a little bit. His preacher gave him his bible with all his notes in it. I told him what I was doing and he said he would follow. Praise God. Now I'm just sitting on a bench and about to read some of the bible. Everything is great and thanks again for all the prayers.


Ps: I just bought sunscreen because my neck is cherry red. Lol. I knew I forgot something.

Got a née video on YouTube

What Our God has done for alread on the first day

So here's the deal. For all of you that don't know, God is real. The problem with most people is they don't understand what God is. So first off today I got about 30 mile into the trip where I decided to take a rest. I was on a bike trail just siting on a bench. I thought to my self that I wanted to read a little of the bible but not too much because I wanted to get back to riding to gain some ground. At that moment, Mike Hill sent me a text and all it said was psalm 20. I laughed and then I read it. Praise God. After that I jumped back on my bike and rode another 20 miles and I started to get into some hilly terrain. It was so exhausting that I actually was getting off and walking up hills. In my mind I was struggling with myself on staying positive and wanting to continue. I then saw a sign for a church of Christ. I thought that if I could atlaste get to there then I could tent up on church property. So a couple miles later I come up to the church. I was still debating on riding past because I wanted more ground to cover. But I felt it in my spirit to pull in because there where two houses pretty much on the same property. I passed the first one as I was think what I would say as I knock on the door. By the time I got to the door of the second house, the owner was already opening it to say hi. I told him I was biking across the country and asked him if he was apart of that church. He said " yes and were having dinner so come in and eat". The first house was the preachers house so they invited him down and I got to meet him. There were about 10 or so people altogether and we got in a circle and he prayed for me for my trip. Praise God. I couldn't of had a better first day. And the view of the land from the hill I'm on right now is amazing. I'll take pics. You can see for miles. The power of God is truly amazing.

35 miles in

Hello everyone. First of all. I couldn't of asked for a better departure. Thank you everyone for the prayers and setting me off on my journey. So far so good. I'm just taking a little break on a bench. My directions actually use bike trails as well which is pretty sweet. So right now I am on a paved path in the middle of fields and woods. I am starting to feel it in my legs a little but I'm just going to keep riding. Thanks again for everything. God bless and much love.

Last night before departure

Thanks y'all

Tonight I was surprised with a going away party. It was really great seeing everybody and knowing I have support. It is tough saying goodbye. I just want to say thanks to everyone who came and for the gifts. I did end up taking a little weight out of my pack because it was a little heavy. Tomorrow is going to be a big day and our God is going to show us all great things. I give all glory to him. God bless and goodnight.

Future Posts

Hello everyone,

So just so everyone knows, I am leaving sun may 8th after church. Praise God. I also want to let everyone know that I probably wont be posting everyday of the trip. Most of the time I will be charging my phone via the sun. So if there are rainy days than I wont have power. So if four days pass and there are no blogs, don't worry because God will protect me. I have been searching for a better blog site so I can post videos as well. I have come to the decision that I am just going to throw links on these blogs to Youtube every time I want to post videos. I have been sleeping in a tent for the last three days to prepare myself for the trip. It rained all three days and I was dry as a whistle. Praise the lord. I am so excited and look forward to posting for you to read. Thanks for your interest and God Bless.
