Yep, we’ve passed the half way point of the 1200km journey and now passed over the tropic of Capricorn
Big sky country, long skinny roads, big trucks and big effort by the riders. A few spills after the visit to the tree of knowledge at Barcaldine.
You would have thought they may have learnt something from tree, but it seems not.
The weather is warming up and we head further North tomorrow
We avoided cattle and we had a flock of galahs lead us into Aramac.
Here’s our fearless leader to give you an update.
After hearing Dave share about the falls a few of the riders had recently, I looked up some words of encouragement from the Bible…this seemed rather appropriate, remembering your pain has a purpose…Thank you Madriders!!
4. Romans 5:3-5 — Our pain has a purpose.
Hard times are often even harder when they feel pointless. But according to Paul in the book of Romans, the struggles we face have a significant purpose: “We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love” (NLT).
Our difficulties may feel heavy, but their weight is designed to drive us into deeper intimacy with God, strengthening us and anchoring us to the steady hope of his love
