It's been a while since I have written anything on this blog.

From May 2 until May 9 we were on a road trip to Omaha Nebraska to celebrate and rejoice with Kacia's graduation from Grace University. It was a great time of seeing family, friends and attending many wonderful activities.

If you want to be challenged, the talk at commencement was about obscurity in greatness. 

Kacia graduated magna cum laude with a teaching degree. She will be working at a camp this summer and then beginning her student teaching in the fall.

Mom Stucky, Jonathan, Tamara and I had a fun time driving to Omaha and back. We stopped at several places to view the tourist traps and enjoy some of the natural wonders of the area. On the way back we were able to stop at Mount Rushmore.

Since arriving back at the farm, life has gotten busy again.

In right around two weeks I will be leaving, and pedaling south towards Florida.

At this point, at least, that is the plan.

I am also considering and contemplating a circular route that would allow me to start and finish at the farm.

This would keep all the logistics, the shipping of the bike, airfare, and other questionable items to a minimum.

I will know with certainty the route I will be taking after a meeting I have on the 25th of this month.

The bike is in great shape, the bags are attached, and I am ready spiritually, emotionally and physically. In my own opinion at least!

I hope to get in another 200 or more miles of break-in and training before I set off on this journey and adventure of faith.

This whole adventure is for raising awareness and finances for missions. In particular, the finances will go toward two wonderful opportunities of ministry.

I want all that is done on this journey to be glorifying to Him and to and to show forth His mighty and wonderful testimony.

I will keep trying to figure out how to  post some more photos of the bike and all the paraphernalia attached to it very soon.

And I will also share some more about our roadtrip and God's grace.

Thank you for praying and lifting me up before the throne of grace as I hope to have some divine appointments and conversations with people I meet along the road.

Continuing to joy in the journey,

D.
