Okay, here is the FULL story about what happened Thursday. I began cycling that day on Green River Trail in hopes to complete a 130mile training ride. I completed an 80 mile loop and was at my extreme for fatigue, my heart rate was struggling to stay in zone, my legs felt exhausted, my body ached, and I was 8 min behind normal pace. I was done for the day. So as I am making my way back to my truck, I had about a minute left before getting there so I prayed to The Lord Jesus, if you find it in your will Lord, strengthen me now, use me, help me continue. But not on my strength, it has run out and is limited. But on your strength Lord which is endless. I believed He can do anything but I didnt expect anything either. I then arrived to my truck and after saying that prayer, I felt new again, I wasnt tired anymore and my legs felt like they didnt just complete 80 miles on the bike. Something then came over my body, the Holy Spirit took over and my focus on going back out again was almost as if I was hijacked and convicted to the action. Once I started cycling again, my mind was harnessed by the Holy Spirit, my body wasnt hurting anymore. My heart rate had dropped 10 bpm lower than when I first ended. The pain I felt before left me. I felt lead by a super natural energy. I had no idea how far God wanted me to go, or even if I would be able to make it back once I went out a far distance. I had enough food and water; I had changed out water bottles when I was at my truck. But I held my faith and trusted I was in Gods hands and He knew exactly what He was doing. He had a plan. After time had passed and I was coming up on my goal for the day to reach my (130mi) turn around mark, I prayed to God where He wanted me to turn around. A number came to my mind, (133mi), but I had no idea where to turn around to make that mark, so I asked, another vision came to my head to turn around after reaching the coastline just on top of a small hill. And so I knew exactly what was going to happen. I made it to the mark and turned around, I had no idea how much food I had left, and if it was enough. After time had passed, I found myself still convicted to finishing. I kept praying with a trusting attitude, Lord, Just get me home. Even still my body was taken over by the Spirit. The focus I still had took over me and was leading me. And just when I knew I would run out of food, I realized I had a bar I didnt know was there, one that should have been eaten already. But I then realized God made me so focused that He also made me forget to eat on one of my times. He knew how far I would go and how much food I would need. I ended up having the perfect amount of food and water, even though I had only brought enough for a shorter (130)mi ride that day. God then got me home to my truck where the Spirit never left me. I then realized I had gone 136 miles! Further than I have ever gone in my life. All without any doubt or impossibility that this was an act of God. I realized hours later, that I had posted on Instagram one week earlier after cycling, the exact words and way I spoke to Jesus that day. Speak to him as if anyone else It is amazing what we can do, when we pray to God for the strength to do it. Our strength is limited, Gods strength is endless.
