you are my God and i am yours forever you are my hope God of grace and power everything, you hold in your hands still you make time for me i don't understand so i praise you God of earth and sky how beautiful is your unfailing love unfailing love no you never change God you remain the Holy one you're my unfailing love unfailing love... xxx Thursday, June 22, 2006 i've been really tired all week...  saturday - i woke up at 6:15am and made my way out to oceanside. i was meeting up with my buddy chris clarke for the annual camp pendleton mudrun! it was a fantastic 10k with tire obstacles, hay bales, river crossings, mud walls, and a huge mud pit. it was downright dirty fun! i had been training for it, so i felt pretty good throughout... the hills were definitely the toughest parts. i ran the race in 55:04, placing 9th in the 25-29 age group and 63rd overall! (: i definitely want to see if i can improve on it next year. then i proceeded to drive up to LA for ingrid's birthday dinner. all you can eat bbq, you can never go wrong with that! then proceeded to drive back down to SD that night. :-  sunday - went to church, then met up with jess and a couple of others in old town for lunch. afterwards loaded up the bikes with adam and started our trip up to buttonwillow. yes! i did a lot of driving this past weekend! had a very good talk there and back with adam about God, relationships, riding. it was good to talk to a brother again... just about life, love and other mysteries.    monday - track the whole day. man... its been a while since i've been at the track, or actually on the bike for that matter. took it really easy in the morning, getting used to being fast on the bike again, and learning the track, especially since it was being run backwards than what i'm used to. it was an EVENTFUL day. adam almost highsided when he got on the gas too quick coming out of turn 1. me on the other hand... i did some paint swapping with kurt on the FIRST session! then proceeded to lose my bolt for my shift link... went to downshift and was like, "what the heck?! where'd my shift lever go?!" also ran off the track once, and also ran out of gas. HAHA. last session was the best, finally was in the groove... hopefully i'll get a video of it up soon. anyways... all of those events, plus the start of 8am classes on tuesday is why i've been tired all week. i haven't run since the run, so i decided to go for a short one. it felt good, and it was during my run that i realized there are a couple of things that i need everyday - God and exercise. i've noticed that on the days that i don't spend time with God... i lose my focus, i lose my trust in Him... i start believing that i know what is best for me. and i feel foolish, because i see my actions reflect that. i see myself trying to make things work out in my own time, in my own way, rather than leave that up to Him who knows best. i realized that when i don't exercise... i get sluggish. life has been so good these past couple of months, but starting this week, i feel God starting to throw some obstacles my way... and i give praise for that. i need to grow, and this is the only way... xxx Monday, June 12, 2006  new ride, you like? xxx |
