Pit stop

Brisk...speed averaging 80-90 miles per hour...cool airstream enveloping the moto-riders as they glide north on the 5 Freeway. On approaching a Y-intersection on the freeway, they continue on the right, instead of veering to the left.  Vast farmlands on both sides of the freeway...nothing is on the riders' minds except pure enjoyment...

"Um, I wonder what he's doing?" Rowe wonders, snapped alert from her mindlessness, "this isn't an exit..."  Abe's speed decreases and he drifts to the right.  A pit stop on the freeway's shoulder.  She follows his lead, positioning her bike over the loose rocks and gravel.  Trucks and cars deafeningly dash close by.  Abe hops off his bike and walks over to Rowe loudly saying, "Did you see the Y-intersection?  Were we supposed to veer left??  Googlemaps said to remain on the right.  I'm gonna call to be sure!"  Schoom...schoom...18-wheelers hurtle by, creating blasts of wind as they pass the parked moto-riders.  Rowe waits on her bike, pretty certain they are on the right path.  Abe returns, nodding enthusiastically, "Yup!  We're on the right path!  Let's go!"

A pit stop is a brief interlude in a rider's journey to ensure all is well with his motorcycle.  Last week, aHbe Racer was in a mild panic.  With the pre-launch a mere two weeks away, shirts still had to be ordered.  The problem was, they had minimal funds.  They prayed in earnest to God, a sincere, respectful prayer of petition to their Father, similar to David's words in Psalms, "Hurry with Your answer God!  I'm nearly at the end of my rope...point out the road I must travel; I'm all ears, all eyes before You..."

The very next day, aHbe Racer receives a call from their friend, Johannes, from their community group at Sandals.  He offers to fund the initial run of shirts.  aHbe Racer is ecstatic and so thankful for Johannes' help!  God has totally opened doors of opportunity and provided each step of the way these past two months.  The shirts are currently being printed and will be ready in time for aHbe Racer's pre-launch on March 5th.  He never ceases to amaze us, and all we could do is marvel at His timing.  With a few pit stops along the way, making sure He remains the Head of this journey, we simply follow His lead while the wheels are spinning...
