So Laelle and I were in the pool this morning and I was struggling (whining) and I was so tired. Then Laelle said to me, "Why don't you just pray for some strength?". I just sort of sat there awe struck, "right here? In the pool? Why not?". So I prayed and God helped me "power" through the rest of our swim. It still wasn't champion swimming but I didn't give up, I stopped whining and starting looking towards the goal.
I've been stewing on this all day and it hit me. This is life, when we are tired and don't want to try anymore we want to wait till there some good time to pray to God for his help. But what better time than right in the midst of it. As nice of a thought it is to wait till Ali takes a nap and I have quiet to just sit and talk to God, I don't have to wait. I can do it right when I think this little toddler is driving me crazy "testing" me. I can do it right when I am craving a cheeseburger or chips or soda and just God give me strength!
So ladies, through our journey I want to tell you what Laelle so boldly told me, Why don't you just pray for some strength? Think about it, pray about it and just see what God has in store for you. I am very excited about this journey and I am very excited about all of you walking with me through it.
A special Thank you to Laelle for being so bold:).
