It was a week of benchmarks. This last week I had my longest run of the year, the biggest week in hours of the year, and my longest swim of the year. There seems to have been some stepping up in fitness recently. I am blessed by it. And, this blessing is part of the journey.
It is not a given that there will ever be another journey and I intend to be extra sensitive to all the ups and downs and truly savor the little and big things from this experience. There is a peace in it all this experience that hasn't been here before as if to say, if I were to die now, it would be with a contented smile. I am so richly blessed in that I can acutely sense God's presence in this endeavor and have truly reached that point where I can say "nevertheless, not my will but Thine be done," and mean it.
Oh, it will get scary at times around the corner. I know that. But that makes me smile too. There is a line from a song that says, "when it's scary, don't look down." No, look up. Up is where my Hope is.
