Reset

I had the chance to work out again today at Planet Fitness.  I asked the girl behind the desk about the last time I checked in...it was March 6...almost two months!!

I knew that it had been awhile, but I'm glad that my body didn't fight the workout too much.

But for the rest of the day I was dehydrated, but not too hungry.  I like how working out curbs my appetite.

But more importantly I'm glad that I was able to "reset" my workout habits and start working out again.

Ultimate Frisbee

I haven't played this sport in awhile, but it was so fun playing today at the park.  I remembered playing this game for the first time when I was serving a full-time mission for my church in Los Angeles California.

During time off, the other missionaries in the area got together and played this game.  I didn't like it at first, because I always wanted to play football.  But this game grew on me.  It can be a fast-paced sport where you can change from offense to defense to a drop of a....frisbee :-)

Thank you, whoever invented this game.  And thanks for some great friends who are like family to me.

17 Miracles

I have to admit.  I cried a few times during the movie.  It's a story about the handcart companies that trekked across the plains to get to Zion.  If you love seeing God work mighty miracles, and see the faith of the people, you'd love this movie.

Puts my life in perspective and I'm grateful that I haven't had to sacrifice as much as these people did.

Hmmm

Chance Encounters

It's kinda neat when you come across people when you least expect it. 

I was at the Duval County Public Schools today dropping off some forms.  It was the first time I've ever stepped foot in the building.  As I was giving the forms to the secretary of the department, a familiar face in a cubicle off to the side said hello.  It was one of my co-workers from a previous employment.  

I had been thinking of her off and on for the past couple of years wondering how she was doing.  After we caught up, we began to realized that we were both embarking in the same endeavor, and it seemed like we were going to help each other out in a big way.

And we both knew it was inspiration from God.  

Don't you like those kinds of encounters?

Thank you God for bringing conformation that perhaps I'm headed in the right direction. :-)

Virginia

I was reminiscing the time I was living in Virginia the second time around.  The first time in Virginia I was a toddler in Norfolk.  My dad was stationed there.

This second time around was in 2005.  Just moved from California.  I had a lot of great experiences with the job and my church activities.  I was part of the Mormon Choir of DC, called MOTAB East.  I also played the trumpet for a production of Joseph Smith.

I'm thankful for my brief stay in Virginia before moving back to Jacksonville.  It was an interesting time of my life.  I learned so much about myself, and hope that I can continue to grow from those experiences.

Honestly?

Today I'm thankful that things went well today.  I cannot reveal it at this moment, but it was  life changing event...really two of them.

I'm excited and apprehensive at the same time.  Did I make the right decision?  Is it something I want to do or need to do?

It's something I need to do.  And it's brought some level of peace, but the change that is going to happen...my heart hasn't caught up yet.

Cryptic huh?  Well, you'll find out soon.
