Bike stolen: Im attempting to grieve its loss.. Its bad, not that bad... It was 1300 bucks, that puts a big dent in things... I learned my lessons... And that lesson is worth more then 13,000 bucks.. Correction is worth it. Now that I know what not to do, Im back on line. That is what counts.
1 year ago, I lost another bike, 2000 Bucks worth, it was outside 30 feet away from the bike that was stolen 2 days ago: a bike I had locked inside the building to a stairwell.
I've learned my lesson... today I had another bike, I was riding it. I came up to the entrance of the apartment building, I had this desire to lock it up against the stairs.. Not a chance!, bling!@, the child in me winced " no more pain please". I grabbed the bike and hauled it up the stairs, a ritual 4th coming of regularity in the following years. I no longer lock my bike up in the apartment facility. I take the bike up the stairs into my apartment or I don't ride..
What a lesson I had to go through. Im not done yet. I have to pay of the bike that someone else is now using. Then, I choose to go back into dept. to get another bike. 1500$ is my price for a new bike. Im a mountain biker, and I take all biking seriously. Its nothing to put down 1500$ for a bike: not that I have the money. I don't, However, When it comes to bikes, I know to much... I wont settle for less.
I can feel the hand of God everywhere through all of this. He was protecting me from something much worse.. He allowed me to loose a few times and feel some pain, Learn to be patient, wait, save, and get back in the game. Not quit, and not loose the over all war..
Im suppose to be on a bike, and thus I will be..
Im learning to trust God through the lean times without a bike.
Im learning that its important to learn to let God help me get back on track. By myself, I would give up. Im not by myself, I have God next to me and holding me...
I cant wait to buy my next bike. I cant wait to feel that secure feeling of knowing Im not going to do the same behavior from before... this next time I have a bike, I get the bike and the good behavior to go with it; cant wait!, it all makes me stronger...
I know this life, and how it can tear a person down.. how ones self esteem can be destroyed over and over and over. Im not allowing this from anyone anywhere at any time.. Satan can stay home.
I have allot of stuff I want to buy, it will have to go on hold. My goal is to get back on track with my biking experience, it requires sacrifice. What about the software, the new piano synth keyboard, the new telescopes and tripod mounts.. The new IPad... And on it goes.
I get nothing until I get my next bike and get it paid for... The rest of the time I will learn to call people and talk. Maybe I can help someone out; with all the pain in this lonely dark world, I can reach out and help someone?
