A wise man I know said: 'The mind can only absorb what the bottom can endure.'
After the past week I think my mind can absorb a lot more because this was a time my bottom was tested and it endured.
Travelling from Bangkok to Phuket on bicycles approx 900 km, what an amazing challenge!
We started of full of energy - in the hectic Bangkok, travelling till about 12 pm at night. Exhausted we found a space to sleep, under a roof for the 8 of us.
The next few days we faced everything: bikes breaking down, doing a visa run to Burma for a visa extension, getting on ferries with your bicycle and having to move all your belongings through thunderstorms - all this with tired and sore bodies.
We had fun, sweaty, sad and tough times.
But at the end we were united like no other, binded together by Christ our only strength.
Most of all we experienced a living God that blessed us, arranged conversations and people on the route that would never have been possible if we just took the bus...
All the glory to you God*
