Reflections on the Ride - Kim Palma

From the elder lady's point of view, The Ride Against Traffick was and remains a profound, personal transformation in every dimension of my life. Preparing to develop the physical stamina for the ride was a continuous challenge. Each time Steve and I went biking I would think of Korea, the mountains we would have to ride up, and ride down, the reason we were doing this, wondering if we were crazy or if The Lord was truly calling us to ride. Finally, knowing we were being called by Him to do this outlandish thing, for something very dear to His suffering heart. I met marvelous people on this ride. People I have come to respect and love. People who care about Jesus heart for the abandoned, deeply wounded, enslaved. I met people who serve The Lord, by serving His people, and those who will yet become His children. And I admire them. I am so grateful for this privilege. I am absolutely delighted in knowing that we will be together for all eternity, joyously worshipping and serving the Lord together. I had five days of seeing Korea unfold before me for hours on a bike. I sensed The Lord Jesus pleasure and love in what He had created, His longing for Korea to embrace Him as their God. These verses washed over and over me while worshipping God and interceding for Korea and it's people while riding across it's stunningly beautiful land. "Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD, strong and mighty, The LORD, mighty in battle! Lift up your heads, O gates! And lift them up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of Hosts, He is the King of glory! Selah Psalm 24: 7-10 I love you.....and miss you.
