All I Want for Christmas

All I want for Christmas is to finish the first draft of my book by December 31st. I am barreling towards the finish line. Tomorrow I will finish Chapter 11. The first 9 chapters have already been through the editor and back for rewrites and approvals. Chapter 12 begins in April 2005-HWI's first project as a organization to get 4 bikes to educators in Angola through Rise International. Maybe 6 chapters to go. The "grueling gusting headwinds" of the difficult chapters are behind me. Now I think "It is a fun downhill coast ahead!"

I must credit my editor and coach Stephanie for her amazing skills, talents and encouragement. Without her my dream would still be spinning around in my head.

This Week's Guest: On First Person Interview with Wayne Shepherd

Alice Teisan

Alice Teisan is a great example of someone who was called by God in spite of her weakness. Alice had a passion for bicycling and was about to leave on a 1000 mile trip when she suddenly became ill with something that felt like the flu, but was later diagnosed as Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS). But God had a design all along to use Alice to be the founder of His Wheels, International.

The mission of His Wheels is to provide pedal powered transportation, with dignity, through global partnerships, as a tool for expanding Christ’s Kingdom. You can read all about it online at http://www.hiswheels.org.

I met Alice a couple of months ago through a mutual friend and it was easy to find her, because our offices are only a couple of miles from each other. So I went to His Wheels and talked to Alice right in the shop where they repair and build some incredible bikes and trikes for Kingdom purposes.

I think you’ll enjoy getting to know Alice on this week’s edition of First Person.
