“God is with me. I am from Virginia. I started this ride four years ago. I recently went to Louisiana to see my son and have been up and down the East Coast several times between Pennsylvania and Florida. I just go wherever God wants me to go. Every day is different. I would not trade this for a million dollars. It is good being with God. What you see on that bike is everything I own. I have no idea how many tires I have gone through. I don’t worry about money because God provides for me. I never know where I go next and each day is just a vague idea of the direction. I may start going towards Virginia. God is in the breeze right now. He wants us to be free and happy and love each other.The world is so confused about making money. Nala came to me in Georgia when I was camping in the swamps with my son. She was a puppy and had bloody paws from running through the woods. We took her in. It is a blessing having her because I wouldn’t be able to talk to people without her. God is in the animals. There is so much in nature to learn about God, especially the Appalachian mountains. That is my favorite place to be. I don’t like dead structures– cities, cars and bridges. I don’t like riding in cars and I would rather not say in a house. Even if it is cold, I would rather sleep outside where there is nothing blocking me from God. It is hard for me to talk to people. I don’t have any other desire but to serve God. We have been hit a few times. I was hit by a dump truck. I was praying when the dump truck hit me. That is what I am doing when I am riding. The dump truck hit me from the back and everyone thought we should be dead. It threw me off the bike and out of the way. God protected me and Nala. She lost her leg when she was hit by a car chasing a cat but it hasn’t slowed her down. I don’t keep journals because I don’t think I could keep up with my life. We were almost shot at last week as a warning. It was late at night and we were taking a break close to the water. I wasn’t scared, God protects me even when I don’t realize I need it. I love you, God. There is His breeze. Do you feel Him here? I had to let everything go. I went through a divorce that destroyed me and lost my kids and went through years and years of drugs and alcohol. I wasn’t suicidal, but I did not have a desire to live. God picked me up and saved me. I would not go back to the world. I won’t stop doing this until God says stop. I don’t like being around people, I stay in the mountains and the woods. But I knew I had to talk with you to get the message out and it is getting a little easier now. When I started doing this, I couldn’t walk around Walmart, I was mentally disabled. God is saving me. Look at that sunset and those birds. Thank you God. This is God’s creation and I want to be here in it. I want to go to bed at night knowing I have pleased him.”
