Yesterday we left Billings, Montana bright and early, with strong legs and eager spirits and IT'S A GOOD THING! We pushed against the wind all day long, for the entire 62 miles to Harlowton. The wind was so strong that once I crested a mountaintop and tried to coast downhill (which is what I was waiting for the whole time I was pushing up the hill), the wind wouldn't let me just coast. It stopped me! So, even going downhill required constant pedaling. Whew!
As you know, sometimes LIFE offers us adversity and it's quite similar to pedaling against the wind. However, we still push on!
As I prepare to lay my head on my trusty camp pillow in my tent, with aching muscles and my Ibuprofen, I encourage you to not give up! Keep pedaling, even when you thought it would all be a downhill coast. God is with you through each and every step.
Tomorrow we tackle the mountains of Montana once again. I'm praying for a little flat land and no wind.
