it may seem that life is simply passing me by...this is far from the truth. although if i had to be completely honest...i can't believe it is almost october. one more day and another month is here. i am amazed at how quickly life takes place. fall is setting in nicely down here in arkansas. i love the cool mornings and the low humidity...oh how i love it.
i find myself at a point similar to that of my team. we have recently had our first two losses of the season...back to back. the team is struggling to find leadership and the will to press on. not the will to press on for another game...but the determination to prepare, struggle, and fight to rise to the next level. excellence is what they seek...who will lead them...coach and i can only do so much.
and this is where my life parallels the teams...i must prepare, struggle, and fight to rise to the next level. i have become comfortable here...physically and spiritually. God is asking me to once again pick up my level of play...to give my utmost for his highest.
the team and i draw strength from paul as he writes in colossians 1:29, "To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me."
at times it is a real battle to take a look on the inside...to take the time and intentionally view what i am like on the inside...i don't always like what i see. i rejoice in knowing that Christ is not finished with me yet.
as long as he gives me another day and another month, i press on...
much love -
