I just joined CMA a couple of months ago after attending several local chapter meetings , a lot of introspection , and dutiful prayer . Four days ago , any residual hesitation or minute concern I had was abandoned . A series of “ coincidences ” strengthened my belief and resolve in my newfound ministry .
Strong storms were rolling through late at night , and I was out in the garage watching them as I ’ m apt to do . I started tooling around on my phone , and it hit me that I had forgotten to complete one of my many errands that day . So begrudgingly , I jumped into the truck and headed out into the storms . Along my route , I came across a stranded biker , soaking wet , unable to get his bike started , with nowhere to take shelter nearby .
When I joined CMA , I decided to buy a new bike . I finally found one that I liked after several intense weeks of searching . The plan was to pick it up the next day , so I happened to be pulling a borrowed motorcycle trailer that very evening . In just a few wet minutes , we got him loaded up and on the way home . As it turned out , he had just joined one of the local motorcycle clubs when I decided to join CMA . A new connection was forged .
The storms , the unchecked todo list , joining CMA , buying that bike , having the trailer ... all of those “ coincidences ” aligned as they needed to be , a friendship was seeded , and a door opened . CMA
