Today hurt. Nothing went wrong and the riding was relatively easy, but for some reason everything hurt. Our bottoms were in the most pain they've been in the whole trip, our necks were sore and both of my knees hurt. We're praying for some major recovery to take place tonight as we sleep. We've landed at a campground just past Usk and about 20 miles from the Washington/Idaho border. Tomorrow we will bid farewell to this fine state. We met some fellow tourers today, although we've noticed that no one seems to be going as far as we are...
We sincerely hope that all of you're well and are enjoying your summers!

When we talked on the phone, you told me that you can tell that your bodies are getting stronger each day in spite of aches and pains. I hadn't thought of it that way. I just couldn't imagine how your bodies could daily make this journey for 10 weeks. I hadn't thought of how God is making your bodies stronger each day so that you can endure the trip. Thank you for reminding me of this.
ReplyDeletePsalm 139:13-14 tells us that God created our inmost beings, that He knit us together in our mother's wombs. We can praise Him because we are fearfully and wonderfully made. His works are wonderful! We know that full well.
God has made your bodies able to do many things including this bike trip. Your bodies are designed to get stronger as you use your muscles and your body is regenerated as you sleep. Isn't our Creator amazing!
Grace, Peace, and Love,
