OK so i have been working out now with this new program for a while. 4 weeks to be exact. and i get invited to run at night. so i thought OK i will for a little while. maybe a couple of laps would help me shed the last few pounds that i need to reach my goal. so i take up on the offer, well we talk smack saying how she was slower than i and i was slower than her. me thinking that i have been doing good with this program i should have no problem beating her at running. X style right..some may not get that.! but anyways i go running with her on my light week, the week i was suppose to rest and take it easy. think again.
the first night i lost count on how many laps we did. i think it was 6 or so. ( mile and a half) but i get done and the next morning i am sore. no boggy been sore before. but than she calls me up hey want to run tonight. OK, but i am going to go easy. nope she pushed me to do 4 laps. next day. you can see were this is going. so i was thinking.... i need to tire her out. i need to push her to her max. after talk to her we are going to do p90x together. ha ha, master plan. now i can be on the same bring her down to my level. and it failed. after doing kenpo one night we ran 4 laps and walked about 12. thinking the whole time man is she going to call it a night soon. nope. after talking with her husband he informed me that it is nearly imposable to beat her at running. so i am thinking yay. i am going to widdle away to nothing.
so you may be asking why i do this. well i like to work out and stay in shape. it help keep my back pain away and gives me more energy. so i love it. but why if i complain so much that i am tired and being lazy that i do this. well its because after we run and workout we talk. mostly about God and what He is doing in our lives. talking with someone about problems, struggles, happy times, and sad times always puts you in a better mood. when you can go to someone who is more spiritually advanced and have them give you ideas and guidance about certain things it makes thing a whole lot easy er. i go over board to get better connected with God. and those who serve Him. i push myself sometime too far to get that 30 min of time of wisdom and knowledge. thing that i know and that i don't.i am willing to go far beyond everything that i have done to seek His word. i took a stand to lead myself in a better life, and to speak into the lives of others. i thrive on what He has done to others, how they once were lost but now am found.
now i do like working out. and i love running. i am just using this as an example on how i keep God in my life. i know i need more and i do read my bible and go to church, but you always need more. you need good spiritual friends who are there for you in every way passable. i am so thankful that God has put this couple in our lives.my wife and i are so thankful for you three and what you are doing for us, and with us. i can see that God is using you in areas that you may not see. i know He has a great plan for your whole family! i do love the time together and you putting up with my complaining and whining. only esha should have to do that.....but you do. so thank you both!!!i look forward to more nights of pushing my limits and seeing what you are made of, to see if i can out run you. thanks again for everything you have done! we love you all!
if you don't have anyone in your life like that than you need to find some. the church is a good place to start. stay away from the bars and look at what you see Sunday moring. i guarantee that someone there is looking for the same thing that you are.
