What I Missed----------What I Miss

What I Missed---Ironman Texas 2020 : I would be getting a little antsy about now. My wife would be summoning all her patience and understanding for my mood altered behaviors. I would be working on a high rev about now; checking, double checking, lists, reminders, what ifs and all the good stuff. I would doubt I did enough training. I would fear I had done too much this close to the race. I would review again the nutrition plan and review again the plan for all that had to be done and when. I would obsess unnecessarily, I know but that is part of the bang for the buck for me. Tomorrow I would be planning to leave Thursday morning and would start to be scared in a wonderful way. I would fear what could happen yet yearn for the start when all becomes settled and purpose and a peace pervades.

Thrilled at the Dawn

The light is still burning.  No matter what has happened in the past I feel the dawn rising in my heart, bring light to corners dark with the disappointments of the past couple of months.  God must not consider me too old to dream, to be thrilled with a new dawn of hope.  After all, God is the author and finisher of faith and I think hope as well.   And, He has placed dawn within my heart here recently though I am not sure how it will flesh out.  This is sort of the dawn of an unplanned day.  I am truly getting excited as I feel this urging on within though I don't know where it is urging me to.

The beauty of it is it doesn't matter because God is setting this up and whatever that may be it will be exciting and fulfilling.  God knows I love that and  I am His child.  I do get the sense that it will be something to do in endurance sports though right now that doesn't look promising with the coronavirus causing so much havoc with our society and the world.

It's ok.  Walking by faith not by sight; thrilled at the dawn.
