Just to update you on Arvid’s progress, he crossed into West Virginia today at around 6 o’clock, crossing the Ohio river and heading straight up into straight up climbs. Today is the second last time for everything – tomorrow is the last full day that we have on the road with Arvid. It all comes to a dramatic finish on Sunday. The general feeling amongst the team, we’ve found, is one of surprise. We had all thought Arvid would be more ragged, more beaten up by all of this biking. The reality is quite different, and we’re all pleasantly perplexed – he’s still kicking the pedals, still cracking humor, and very much with it, mentally. Amen!
Priska,If there was one thing I had difficultly shdluoering during those six years, it was the immense responsibility I had towards the tenants. I knew the houses were not in great shape to begin with, so I was always worried and thinking about what might go wrong to affect them: broken water pipes, clogged drains, mold, heating/AC systems, etc. I also had to be stern about collecting rent each month as that rent was how I paid the mortgage and I hated pestering people when I knew they were going through tough times.Part of the release I felt when it was all over was the release of all that responsibility. Mindfulness reminds me that shdluoering an amount of responsibility that makes us unhappy and stressed out does far more harm than good for everyone around us.
We enjoy keeping up with your progress Arvid as well as those who support you. We pray for continued strength as you pedal towards the finish line over the next day or so. We are amazed and what we can accomplish when God is part of our plans…yet we should never be suprised at what He can do through us……..blessings to you Arvid And team.
Amazing! God is blessing Arvid.
Praying for safety and continued stamina through the night.
A big Amen from the Funks. Awesome all the way around. God, Arvid, support crew. All to His glory and the support of MCF and the children in crisis. Love knowing you Arvid and Ruth.
