Mindset: Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=936BapRFHaQ Nutrition: chicken nugget sammich and was gonna leave it at that but somebody thought I needed a burger so I had 3/4 of a whopper and about a handful of fries (was giving my fries to the baby mostly lol) seriously need more veggies. But I got my tea. Exercise: Hung with the grands. More of a snuggle and juggle this time. That moment your body is failing, and you are halfway up the hill…. Nerve endings tingling, legs like lead, fish gasping, trying to take in more O2, face hot and scalp sweating. You are shaking and ya just want to sit down but you know you still have the hill to crest and a mile to go. The hill becomes your sole focus and dadgummit if that thing doesn’t look like it’s getting longer. Face like flint, steadfast heart, I can do this. The tingling is becoming a painful numbness. I can’t do this. What am thinking? And that’s when I wanna sit down and cry… but then I think of Jared and his f3 crazy ball of yarn stuff, Tommy flipping into bed and stuffing himself like a turkey while juggling a new baby, Robin and his whole person he left behind thousands of miles ago, pressing on with his heart full of praise and hope. Roy doing chair exercises and watching out for electrical storms. Katie channeling a spartan warrior mentality and a heart of gold. Christin and Alex fishin salsa ing and getting their sushi on. Jessie juggling home and hearth with aspirations, dreams, and purpose. Pat and Lisa… two beautiful people that remind me a bit of a ultra hip Priscilla and Aquila and who often drop wisdom bombs that keep my mind revved for days. Janet skiiing downhill laughing maniacally while tail gate foods chase her, trying to get home to clean out the fridge cuz she got blueberries and hummus in there. Mark so steadfast of heart and practical wisdom. Elise and how hard she works and how sweetly things are fallin into place. Our new friend april who comes in on a sweet breeze like the air after a warm spring rain, smelling like flowers and sunshine and covered in grace. Or Lisa H. Strong, determined, diligent, and glowing with vitality. I think of Lesley starting out her first ff40 in Ireland and this one finding her in the midst of virtual competitions, disciplined, intent, and sweating but glowing with health and purpose and accomplishment. Amber, my precious jewel, under the most intense pressure does coal become a diamond… I am so proud of you. Scott, full of glorious purpose and a heart so true. I asked the Lord to create good memories in such a way that the painful ones lose their foothold. Grit, strength, and leadership, and joy unleashed that’s the man of God our Scott is. Every single one would tell me to dig deep and press on. You’re stronger than you know. You got this. I am at my driveway when I look up, having crested that hill a mile ago. And I chuckle to myself as I remember another hill and the truck stopped at the top that I nearly ran into. Well, at least this time no trucks or laughing neighbors were involved that I know of lol Focus, perspective, and peace… and no dented trucks. #my1percent
