You make the call.

Good morning all! We've been blessed to see another day and for that we should all be grateful. The events of last weekend in Boston are a reminder to me that life is sooo fragile. I mean it literally can change in a second!! I read about the dance instructor who lost a foot and a leg i believe during the bombing. The spirit of a person can be broken in such a way that you are left with the choice to bitter or push through it. Maaaaaaaan i can't even imagine!!!! Honestly i don't know what i would do in a situation like that???? Sure i could sound all strong and say what i would do...Ohh just trust God! It'll be ok..God is with you. Well...while all of that is true. The process of healing and restoration is tough and stressful. Sure we know God will be with us, thats a given. But to walk through such a terrible thing when it's your leg,foot, or lost loved one is another. As i ran this morning i felt more determined to do what i have to do in accomplishing certain goals for myself. When i watched the images on the tv of this woman who taught dance and had a real love for it, i wept. How often do we take for granted the day that we have been given? I know i have. I get busy making plans to do this and that when if im not careful i can forget the most important things in life!! Running has taken on a whole new meaning for me after the events at the Boston Marathon. It's teaching me not only to push through some stuff, but man just be thankful for what you have and where you are right now! To live in the present is the best way to be for me. No man knows what a day may bring right? Have a great day folks and take the time today to reflect on just how blessed you really are! You might not have everything in order in your life. You may have problems that nobody really understands. You may be dealing with stuff that you can't even articulate. But know this. You are here! One day at a time !Whatever your pace today it's your pace. Nobody can write your story but you. Be encouraged and ignore the noise of the day! Sodas down! Water up! Peace and Love!

  1. We have the choice to get bitter or get better. Choosing better leads out of the brokeness and into peace.
