Im Tired,

I'm tired,

tired of it all,

tired of being someone I'm not,

tired of living other peoples plan for my life,

tired of silencing my dreams because of fear.

I just want to live,

live for God,

live for me,

i don't want to live for you,

i don't want to live your life.

its time,

time to run my own race,

time to live my own life.

To Bike.

To bike, is to escape.
when i grab hold of the handle bars and grip the pedals with my feet nothing else matters. for that brief moment i am on the bike every thing is irrelevant, every thing is blocked out, my worries fall off my shoulders and the only thing i am aware of is the bike and the ground. hours seem like minutes. i am completely focused on the moment.

To bike, is to praise, it is to worship.
i don't need the voice of the angel, i don't need a guitar. my bike is my voice of praise, my instrument of worship. i take what he has given me, my talent, my bike and i give it back to him, for the plans he has for me are greater than i can ever comprehend.

To bike, is to say its not about me.
its not about showing off, its about the people around me, it is about showing the people around me the love of Christ.

To bike, it is my mission field.
i have a passion for biking for a reason, i have a biking talent for a reason. God has placed me in the Upper Hutt skate park for a reason.
