Habitat Ride

Friends have encouraged me to ride in Habitat for Humanity’s “Ride Across Indiana” this May. Looks like it might actually happen. A bike has been offered and a few people have already voiced a willingness to support me, kicking in money for Habitat if I ride.

It could be an adventure. But it is going to take more than just a “will to ride” to make it happen. Desire alone won’t move me across the finish line. It will take a “will to work to ride” so that I actually get into shape before May. Follow this blog for updates and the final outcome; maybe even a few pics.

So often the winning equation in both life and faith is: desire + discipline. Desire gets us going, discipline keeps us going. We need both.

I’m grateful that the Holy Spirit helps believers on both counts. He prompts us concerning the things of God, creating desire, and He produces self discipline within us as we yield to Him.
