My simple faith begins with my heavenly father giving grace to the entire world...

New Opportunities...

Image
This week I have a new role in the mornings overseeing 155+ Student Volunteers. I have their room all set up, my "Hype" speech prepared, snacks ready to be eaten, scheduled printed and put on the walls, check-in and check-out procedures handled and lanyards ready to be picked up! I think I have it all covered... I've never done this particular job before, however am truly excited for the opportunity. For some overseeing 155+ Middle and High School students sounds miserable. To you I simply share this quote from Neale Donald Walsh, "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone".  I know things will need to be tweaked, but that's life. With every new opportunity, there is room for growth and failure. We've got to remember that we're going to have both. We should have both. It's ok to have both. With failure we grow and with growth, we often fail.  Henry Ford said, "Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently....

Take the Day Off...

Image
You may have noticed that yesterday I "took the day off" and didn't blog. I didn't even run. I just laid in the bed feeling bad for my self. The extra hours of sleep were nice, however I still felt guilty. Why did I do it? Was it worth it? My initial intention wasn't to sleep in. My plan as always was to get up at 4:50am to run, read and blog. Unfortunately none of that happened. I simply just laid in bed asleep. Here's my excuse/non-excuse... Last week I put in nearly 30,000 steps each day overseeing 150+ middle school and high school students at our churches Vacation Bible School. On Sunday night I stayed up late to watch the Preds and Pens game (Stanley Cup Finals, Ice Hockey), which didn't go in my favor. I may have even woke up with some pretty bad back and knee pain that would have prevented me from running anyways. Again, not excuses but the reality of my week last week and why I "took the day off" yesterday. I needed to ...

Pain...

Pain...physical suffering associated with bodily disorder. (Merriam-Wesbster) Yesterday I took the day off from my morning routine to simply enjoy the holiday weekend and catch up on a little rest. It was definitely nice to be able to sleep in, however it came with a little added pain this morning. I'm not really sure why, but as I started running my left heel began to hurt. I debated whether I should continue or just turn around and walk home. I pushed on and the pain stayed constant. I didn't want to stop and despite the annoying throbbing of my heel, I ran on the front part of my foot and kept going. Gary Zukav said, "Your pain is an opportunity to learn about yourself." I didn't want to quit this morning and walking in my mind was defeat. So, I pushed on and now am at home with my socks off and my heel feeling just fine! In life we're always going to have some sort of pain in our lives. Whether it's a physical pain like a bum heel or maybe ...
