Dear Ford,
Hope...that’s the name of my 24 Shadow Black HE…”Hope”.
“Why the name Hope?”, you might ask.
Because that’s what the world needs…Hope.
She will be the first new vehicle I’ve owned since the Wrangler JK I bought 12 years ago to replace the truck God had me give to a stranger in a donut star parking lot…but that’s a story for another day.
Tomorrow (March 6th) is my 49th Birthday and what I want most is to give the world HOPE. I have 3 teenage kids and I desperately want to see them grow up in a world that still has hope. There are people all around me every day who are broken and lonely or busy and distracted…there isn’t much difference…they all need hope.
On June 29, 2012 God made it clear to me that although I was doing a lot of the right things, I wasn’t living for Him….I wasn’t “all in”. I had unintentionally settled for the American dream instead of the dream that He had for me. I’ve been on a journey to live solely for Him ever since. Sometimes I do it well and at other times I fail miserably…and that’s ok because the real goal is the journey. When “Hope” arrives I plan to use her to inspire and encourage others to embark on a journey of their own – to embrace simplicity, escape the grind, reconnect with God, and rediscover the fundamental purpose of our existence.
I currently have thousands of dollars in mods waiting for her in the garage including a roof rack and lots of overlanding gear. We've been waiting since she was "produced" on 2/1. So Dear Ford, it would be a really great birthday if you’d send Hope on her journey home tomorrow…the world needs her...
