Today was a good reminder that life is a journey and not an end result. While I usually like the process, I need to rediscover my love for hills. Several lessons about God have been doing laps in my head and I can't help but look behind me to make sure I'll finish the race without getting run over. (Track is on my mind.)
1) God is enough. Unless it's a jelly donut, usually holes are best filled with Him.
2) God doesn't ask of us more than he can do through us. We're not puppets, manipulated with choice but we are clay to be molded, fired and set through circumstances all for his purposes.
3) God asks us to be present here and now, living and offering what we have. Right now I'm a coach so I can workout with athletes and be available. I am a student so I can work with integrity. Even if I struggle with French lessons, I have teeth, a tongue and vocal chords so I can practice. Maybe God will help me speak in "tongues."
Sometimes ideas that run in circles keep us from moving forward in a productive and faithful way. But when God runs laps, He usually wants to make a message very clear. I get it- muscle memory. And my soul is definitely a muscle. I feel it's soreness, the stretching and the growth.
