Praise God I am back up and running

I am in Clearwater Florida at my aunt Robins place. I posted a video that I took last night. Go check it out. God Bless

A day of rest

It felt really good to sleep in till 1pm. Praise God. Today Joey took me to the apple store to see if I could get a new phone. They told me I wasn't covered by the warrantee but I could get one for $200. Praise God because thats better than $650. I haven't got the phone yet because I was a little short but I'm sure I will have it when I get to Orlando. Today I was blessed with another $50 from my grandpa. Praise God. God is always great. I just got done eating dinner with Joel and his family. It was amazing. I am going to miss staying here the day I leave. I figured out that most likely I will be doing another 4200 miles or so. It would have been around 3400 but I want to go up to Oregon because my brother said it was supposed to be the most beautiful place. I have some National parks that I have planned to visit out west. They are as follows: Yosemite, Bryce Canyon, Deschutes, Umatilla, Ochoco, Rio Grande and San Juan. Praise the Lord. I'm pretty excited. I think I will be keeping the bike I have now. Also I want you all to know that this next week or so up until the 7th of July, I might not be able to blog at all. So I apologize in advance for the lack of blogs. I just wont have a computer or a phone. Praise the lord though because everything is going to be great. So far, all the prayers from you all have helped me tremendously. There is no doubt in my mind that God hears us all and has taken care of me because our Faith. I thank you all so very much for your prayers. God Bless.

Being treated like family

God is doing an amazing job of making me feel like family everywhere I go. Joel and his family have all taken me in and shown me the love that God calls us all to have. I feel like I have known them all for a lifetime. Praise God. We all went to see the movie The Green Lantern. They paid for my ticket and bought me a drink. The movie was actually really good. It had a great message about having a strong will. You see because we can do all things through confidence. The best part is that we can get our confidence from Jesus Christ. That's way it states that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Amen. The movie also shows how strong fear is. I always say that F.E.A.R is False Evidence Appearing Real. Fear prevents us from doing a lot of things. Most of all, it prevents us from doing the things we love. I know this because I am experiencing it right now. If I would of let fear get to me, I would have never taken this adventure and I maybe never would have seen the glory of God as I do now. I had all kinds of people ask me what I was going to eat and where I would sleep prior to the trip. If I would of let those things get to me, I never would have seen the things I've seen so far. I never would have met the amazing people that I have on this trip. I am witnessing the power of Gods love for me. He takes care of me daily. I give all the Glory to God. I now know that I want to do nothing else but live my life to serve our father in heaven. That's the way it is supposed to be for all of us. God is Love. What reason is there to make anyone not want to follow christ. I thank you all again for the Prayers. I just want you all to know that my life is being changed in a way that is truly amazing. I can't help but to think about God now. It's been a blessing everyday. God Bless you all

We rode 29 miles to Franks Church

Joel who's house I am at, said I can stay as long as I need. Praise the Lord. We got up early today and rode to the church. It was pretty cool because there were about 60 people there waiting to celebrate the arrival of the group. It felt good to ride through a big group of people. It made me think about the day I will be finishing my tup and how great it is going to feel. Praise God. I decided I am going to stay here till tuesday morning. I Don't think I will be getting another Iphone. I called apple and told the lady that my phone dropped off my bicycle and got ran over by a car. She told me that accidental damage to the phone isn't covered through the warrantee. So I asked her "What if I told you I purposely through it under the car?" haha She just laughed. So Adam who is one of the guys who was part of the group said he might have an extra phone I could have. I'm not sure how it will do with internet and videos but I will give it a shot. Praise the Lord. I'm still going to go to apple just to see what they say in person. You never know with how great our God is. Amen. Also today while we were riding, I saw some interesting animals. In Ohio, you see raccoons and ground hogs on the side of the road. Today while I was riding, I saw two 5 foot alligators dead on the side of the road. It was pretty sweet. Praise the lord for prayers and all the support I have. I love you all. God Bless

Next little jump of the trip

I have an aunt who lives in Clearwater Florida. I just talked to her and set up a plan. It is the 25th of June right now and I'm meeting my brother Guy on the 7th of July in Orlando. So since I have some time to spare, I am going to go visit my aunt Robin. Praise God. I will probably be heading her way on monday. She is 180 miles from where I am now. She said I could hang out with her and go to Tampa for the 4th of july. Praise the Lord. So I am going to be taking another small break. I don't want to spend that much time at a stand still but I have to meet up with my brother. This trip is all about relaxing and having fun. I did push it the last week and a half with the guys but they were a blessing. I couldn't pass that opportunity up. Praise God.

Praise the lord

I posted a video just now that I took last night. Praise God. Today we only road 28 miles because we were going to get caught in a storm. Joel had his wife come and pick us up. It felt so good to be in a truck. Right now I am at Joel's house. The other four guys are getting ready to go ride some more. You see they are riding to except donations to buy bicycles for kids. The way it is set up, people make pledges for a certain amount per mile they ride. So they have to ride 1200 miles. I decided to take a break since I am going a little farther than 1200 miles. praise the lord. They are treating me like family. I feel right at home here. I'm not 100% sure exactly what the plans are tomorrow but I know either monday or tuesday I will be heading up to Orlando. I also want to let everyone know that there could be a few days to a week from this post until I blog again. Once I leave these guys, I wont have access to a computer till I get another iphone. I should be getting one soon though. Today I hit 2198 miles on my trip so far. I believe I am either in or very close to Naples, Florida. Thanks again for all your prayers. God Bless.

Praise God

Last night while we were eating pizza hut, we decided we were going to ride all the way to the RV. That was around 9pm. It was another 60 miles to the RV. Praise the lord. So we jumped on the road around 9:30pm. The next 40 miles were through Ocala National Forest. At the beginning there was a bear crossing sign warning for the next 16 miles. We were told it was a popular bear sighting location. It's a good thing we have Jesus Christ on our side. We started with some prayer. The road was woods on both sides for 40 miles. There was no service and it was pitch black. One car would pass about every 30 mins. We had flashing tail lights and headlights a well. We were all tired from the day but I'll tell you we road as if we had all the energy in the world. I had my bear grylls knife zip tied to my bicycle. A couple of times we heard some animals running and we road faster. It was great because we were all constantly talking to God. After 16 miles we felt great. Then we saw another bear sign for the next 14 miles. Why didn't the first one just say 30 miles? We pushed through and finally made it. I couldn't even feel my legs while I was riding. We got to a gas station and got all the food they were going to throw away for free. Praise God. The guy said he sees bears every other day. God protected us every pedal. Road 120 miles and got to the RV at around 3am. Praise god

Crazy day

We only rode 60 miles today. It is 8:46pm right now and we are at pizza hut. We literally had 8 flat tires in two hours. Praise God because I didn't have a single flat. The Rv is 60 miles ahead of us. So tonight we are going to rough it and find a random place to stay. We don't want a motel because it cost money and we can't shower because we don't have clothes or anything. I know God is going to take care of us. I will let you know how it goes tomorrow. Praise the lord. All our bikes are fixed now so it is all good. Thanks again for all your prayers. God bless.

Rode 62 miles today

Praise the lord. I am posting aging from Joey's iPhone. Today we slept in til 10am which was amazing. I ended up going to Verizon to see what I could do about getting a new iPhone. There $650. Crazy, so I asked what there cheapest phone was so I could get a temp phone. They told me the cheapest phone is $180. I asked if there was anything they could do to help. Ofcourse the said no. They did say there was a place across the street that fixes and sells cheap phones. Praise the lord. So I went there and bought a brand new flip phone for $30. They also told me that I can go to apple and get a new iPhone for $200 to replace mine. Praise god. I re received another $60 and I'm expecting a few checks so I should be able to get the iPhone in a week or so. Praise God. Til then, there probably won't be any videos and there could be a few days without posts. God will take care of it though. He always does. Amen. The RV got fixed and is up in running. Thanks for the prayers. We are at a church tonight in the parking lot. God is great. Last night while the Rv was broken, frank paid for two motel rooms. We were able to shower which was great. Were 284 miles from Immokalee Florida which is where were going. Be there in three days. I love you all. God Bless

Rode a tough 119 miles

Praise the lord for today. We rode from 9am to 10pm. Talk about an exhausting day. We made it to the Florida boarder. Felt good. I had a little issue though at about 90 miles. For all that don't know, I have a belt clip on my handlebars for my iPhone. I looked down to check the map and it was gone. I knew I looked at it 6 miles ago at the gas station. So it had to be close. The road we were on had those bumps on the side for the gars not to go off the road. I figured I had to of hit those and it must of just fell off. Praise God. So I told the guys that I had to ride back and find it. I have like 240 pics and videos of my trip on that phone. So I rode back and 4 miles later I found it. Praise the lord. It did have a few scratches on it. Actually it got ran over and it is in about 5 pieces. When I saw it I just smiled and started laughing. It felt good actually because God says don't worship anything but himself. Don't store up things that will perish. My phone is gone and it's just a phone. I'm not going to let it bother me. It didn't change the fact that God is great. I just won't be able to post any videos for a while til I figure out how to get another one. I know God will take care of me. Right now though we are stuck in the RV broke down. So if you could pray for the RV, that would be great. Praise God always. I love you all. God Bless
