Newbie

Colton, California, beside the foothills of the San Bernardino mountains.  An impeccably sunny day for a moto ride.  But for this newbie rider, he isn't riding.  Earlier during the week, Abe couldn't wait for this day to arrive.  Finally, he'd be learning to ride!  But now he simply stares at his Honda Shadow 250 with disdain.  "Did I just waste $220 for this motorcycle class?", Abe mourns.  In his mind, he is trying to piece together all he had learned the past four hours during the classroom session.  He thought it mind-boggling that all four limbs had to work in conjunction at the same time:  roll the throttle with the right-hand...use the clutch with the left hand...press the front break on the right...shift with the left foot...rear break is with the right foot..."How can I ever get this?"  Abe agonized.

Fast forward four years, this former newbie moto rider now speeds down the San Bernardino freeway, weaving in and out of traffic, racing effortlessly.  Had Abe not learned the essentials first, he wouldn't be enjoying the rush of splitting lanes, taking in God's creation, soaking in God's warmth, connecting with God Himself ..... riding.

When it comes to launching a business, aHbe Racer is a "newbie".  Some of the development process is frustrating to learn: creating a business plan, finding funding, negotiating pricing.  But without this initial setup, aHbe Racer's concept of clothing and feeding people en route is just a pipe dream.  Since He's called us to make His vision a reality, we focus on the essentials because we know we're ultimately working for Him.  To do business His way is so worth the cost of learning how to "ride", while the wheels are spinning...
