Every year, since 2003, my family and I have been attending the Changing of the Colors Rally in Mena, Arkansas. This is a Christian motorcycle rally where Christians who like to ride motorcycles can get together and fellowship and worship our Lord and Saviour; they provide services for the children and also for the youth, as well as the adults. It is a time where I don't have to constantly look over my shoulder and wonder if my daughter is okay - when we are on Iron Mountain for the rally, she visits all her friends that she has made over the years and attends the youth services, when she was younger she attended the children's service.
It always happens, every year, we go and get refreshed in the Lord and we always leave there extremely blessed. For the last several years, some of CMA International leaders have been attending this rally and it is just awesome to hear what God is doing in their countries through this motorcycle ministry. There have been leaders from the United Kingdom, Africa, Netherlands, Spain, Mexico, Dubai, and countless other countries. We really enjoy getting to meet them and listening to their experiences. We just have an awesome time in the Lord.
My husband and I usually work some during the rally, either helping clean the restrooms or helping out with traffic (unfortunately, we were not able to help this year because I got there late.)
CMA sponsors a Pastor's Retreat every year for pastors and we have had the privilege of helping out with this also, and have enjoyed our pastor attending this retreat. I believe we are more blessed by just being allowed to serve than the Pastor's are, but they don't think so.
Please pray for me.
Love, Bella
