Guess what friends?! I am the happy owner of a new bike! I can't believe it has been exactly one week since I received the sad news that my bike was stolen...but I can't think of a better way to celebrate than with the purchase of a new set of wheels.
One of the purposes of this blog is to notice the tender mercies in my life because, well, I believe the Lord is mindful of each and every one of us and that if we notice the blessings we receive, we will receive even more.
Can you tell I was excited as we drove to the store?
On that note, a wonderful tender mercy that I experienced with this whole bike situation is that we received a chunk of money, unexpectedly, in our checking account the same day or so that my bike disappeared. It was enough to cover the expense of a new bike and our date this past Monday.
When Marshall and I went shopping for my bike on Monday, we ended up ordering a bike from Cycle Works because I wanted the step through version and they only had the regular women's version in stock. They said it would be in by the weekend at the earliest, but I received a phone call on Wednesday evening saying that it was in!! I was so pleasantly surprised that it only took 2 days. I highly recommend Cycle Works because their customer service and knowledge is truly wonderful.
Which brings me to the 2nd tender mercy: my bike arrived just in time. I had appointments scheduled for Thursday afternoon, of which I was planning on walking to--which would have been just fine--but a bike makes it SO much easier. Surely I am being watched out for from above!
I didn't realize how badly my old bike needed a tune-up until I got on this one...oh how my ride now is so much smoother.
I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. :)
Just testing it out in our parking lot upon returning home.
Giddy with excitement!
