Well, I had mentioned that I was worried about the tires on the bike I’d gotten recently, and my hunch turned out to be pretty spot on, as about a day after I posted that, the rear inner tube (been calling it a tire all this time, and I felt like an idiot at the bike shop when I asked for a tire and only needed an inner tube…) blew, and I was out of commission. oh well, I stopped by the bike shop to see how much it would cost to replace, and after some confusion about exactly what I needed to replace getting resolved, I walked away with my wallet $4 lighter, tax included.

I still haven’t installed the inner tube yet, I’ll probably take the bike back to the bike shop and let them do it, since the offer the service for free (on a $4 product! talk about aggressive moves to win customer loyalty!)

God is Answering prayers, and is providing for me in big ways, and I’m so glad to be able to tell you all that!

Please continue to pray for me if you would, I’ve got a lot of things to finish in the next few short weeks to get ready to head out, and I’m not sure if there’s enough time for everything!
