Four days later

It has been four days since I ended the bike trip.  I really haven't given up on it, I am just adjusting my plans to include training and other factors. 

My original goals of listening to God and losing weight I can work on and achieve in a stationary setting as well as a moving setting.  The goal of observing small communities I can still do but using a car.  I would actually like to take a motorhome and see the US.  Yes, I know gas prices are obscene, but parking the motorhome for several months and then exploring is much cheaper. 

I have been asking God what the next step is.  It is hard to listen for his voice, let alone hear anything clear.  The most I can figure out is that God wants me to stay in Madison, for now.  I have a direction and now need to look for a room and job(s).  My ideal job would be working for a nursery, part-time as an accountant and part-time with the plants and customers.

For now, I will look for a room to rent and a job in Madison.  I will save money and increase my fitness.  I will attend an active church and continue to listen to God.

Thanks to all who have been following the blog.  The words of encouragement have buoyed me during this time of transition.  It is great to know that I can count on everyone for words of wisdom and encouragement.
