A Tennis Shoe epipheny & "The Chosen One"

This is what I refer to as a tennis shoe epipheny because it was birthed while running as most epipheny's ever are since this is the only time I am ever really alone with my thoughts. This is when the truthful voice get's to speak as everything false becomes silenced. Words, songs, imaginary commercials for products, dreams, chapters of future novels, and images constantly flood my mental notepad, and of course that is precisely what I lack. If you're the worthy nugget of inspiration or truth, you will then become the only words I think for the remainder of the run as I try to memorize you, contributing to the monotony of the next 3 miles and my short lived determination, a captive to my own reflections! You are then both fondly and frustratingly esteemed to the one per run title of "the chosen one."

This was last weeks "chosen one"
Faith is not knowing what will happen in the end and still saying yes to the journey, one clear answer at a time. If God truly has a plan for your life, and if you believe He might want you to find out what that plan is so it can come to be, why do we not trust Him with today, knowing it is all part of that plan? From pooping to preaching, it all must happen in God's eyes and both are equally neccessary in the process of His plan. With only big vision, we are handcuffed partners with life-long anxiety, self-pity, and ineffectiveness. But with a good deal of contentment and a little vision, we will never lose out on the joy and focus of Christ's involvement in our life. Seek first the Kingdom. Seek first the kingdom.
