A mode of transportation is by taxi cyclists in Africa. Drivers pedal on a single-seat bicycle with a long cushion behind it for the passenger to sit. A young lady named Eshe is one of the few women in her community that chooses this as their occupation. It is hard work, but she enjoys her job.

One morning, while working a regular shift, a professional cycling coach approached her. He noticed Eshe’s outstanding endurance and asked if she wanted to join a cycling team. They would give her a bicycle and gear at no cost through charitable donations. She did not hesitate to seize the opportunity. Each evening, she meets with her teammates to train for upcoming events.

God can take a difficult situation in our lives and change it for the better if it is in line with His will and His perfect timing. It could transform into something we never thought was possible.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. – Romans 8:28 NIV

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:6-7 NIV
