Before starting to work with Proyecto B3, I never wanted to learn to drive, or even learn to ride a bicycle, because I considered myself to be a very nervous person. Bible instructing with B3 required that we learn to drive a motorcycle because the towns we had to reach were far apart and it was necessary in order to reach the largest number of people.
When we started with B3, we were given motorcycles to use. For me, learning to drive was almost impossible and very difficult. But with God, EVERYTHING is possible, right? So I began to practice. One of the people who started teaching me told me that it would take a year to learn to drive because I didn’t even know how to ride a bicycle.
In prayer I asked God to take away my nervousness and give me patience and learn in less time. I began to practice very hard every day and fell a lot. I had many bruises on my shins, but thank God, I learned in about three weeks!
I fell many times while riding on those dangerous roads, but thankfully I never had a serious accident. After a few months I could drive long stretches of road in rain, in very cold conditions, at night, and on muddy roads. Sometimes I could not feel my hands or my feet from the cold, but I could sense God’s presence with me. Thank God that we were able to reach many people with the motorcycle in the area God sent us.
It was not my hands nor my strength; it was God who took care of me and controlled my hands while driving. For with God, nothing is impossible!
