Overwhelmed!

I don't know what word, really, to described today. I just finished reading Brad's recent posts to this site...blows me away!

Whitney and I were blessed by God, the GOD-WHO-SEES-US Genesis 16:13

• He allowed us to "see" NUBY! AWESOME GOD! 1 inch of sweetness is in Whitney's stomach. Father, we trust You for her/his development and Whitney's pregnancy, delivery, post pregnancy health and life...family as well!

• Incredible day at the track: "Step downs": 1 x 400 (Pre's); 1 x 300 (Pre's); 1x200 (Pre's); 1x100(Pre's)

• Chased KG around the house ALL NIGHT! The chick has intense robust energy! Praise the Holy Spirit!

• Had watermelon for dinner!

• Ate 4.5 of CC's incredible oatmeal cookies! Oh Man food!

• Hung out with CC, Bradley, Whitney at the Nes hotel!

• God spoke to me again in the book of Habakkuk!
  

• So ready for tomorrow's workout with Hanz and this weekend with the fam!

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 journal:

Thankful: for God's mercies on Bryan's flight; for incredible check-up and sono for Nuby and Whitney; for family and food; for the Holy Bible and all the different translations; for the opportunity to pray for persecuted Christians in China during the Olympics (sign up here and you get free "pray for China" bracelet!)

Joyful: to be able to buy bottle water that supports clean drinking water for others (http://www.earth-water.org/) (http://www.ninemillion.org/)

Prayerful: the 40 Psalms!

Goo'day mate!

"The Rock" Is In The House!

I echo Jeff in saying, "God Is Faithful!" I never new that the domino effect of bed bugs would create such a positive outcome! Of course, I Praise Christ that Jeff and his fellow troops are strong and healthy, but it is so cool how we can turn a negative into a positive!

*It has allowed Jeff and TheWhit to drive around together since they are sharing a car
*It has allowed us to learn how to defeat the idiots so that we will be protected in the future
*It provided me one of the greatest mornings of my life today!Since Jeff is without a vehicular
apparatus until it gets sprayed, I was fortunate to go and pick him up and then go train...Here are some Highlights and MasterCard Moments, all occuring before it was even 0930 hours...

• Prayer Time and Discipleship Moments with Jeff, my ChristFollowing Mentor
• Hang out time with my Niece, Praise God for Her! We played, "I'm Gonna Get You" and "Where Is KG?" She is so amazing, she is running around the house, cool blue knit (collar up) with blue jeans and white shoes, she is "Robust With Life!"
  
• Seeing Extreme Generosity lived out in the life of KG...she is so cool, a cool Warrior Princess who understands this principle at such a young age...as soon as I walk in, she gives me a HUGE smile, runs over to her toy basket, pulls out a toy, and offers it to me to play with! Wow! What a Generous Host!
• Seeing Her go behind the curtain to play "Where Is KG?" Rocked my world...to have that kind of dialogs and make a connection with her shows me the importance of human relationships
• Intense Prayer of The Psalms with Jeff and KG, for KG and TheFam, The Psalms specifically mentioned being "Robust With Life!" KG is the prime example of this!!! PX!
• Intense Prayer and training on the track with "TheAnimal" Tempo training included:
  
• 1 x 300 in 44 sec, 1 min rest
• 1 x 300 in 50 sec, 1 min rest
• 1 x 200 in 27 sec

Wow! That is what I call a "Whata-GreatDay" Morning! PX, finished the day off with studies and work and then came home to "The Rock!" Tomatoes Rockefeller that is! CC knocked it out again! Tilapia, TheRock, Green Beans with mushrooms and almonds, BIG 'ol salad with avocado's!!!

Man, can't wait for tomorrow, I love waiting with expectation to see how The Lord works!

In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation (Psalm 5.3 NIV)

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Journal:

Thankful: Making the best of every situation, KG's Robustness for Life!

Joyful: Prayer with and for TheFam; Intense Track training with TheBro! Home Cooking!

Prayerful: Health requests unspoken and Praises for Amazing Health! For Amazing Health to be able to do all Christ has called us to do for Him, displaying His Bright Glory and fulfilling down to the last detail His Mission through us! What an Honor! JIL! Amen!

Hey listen to this, Exodus 23.25-26, God Almighty tells us this: "I'll make sure you live full and complete lives."

So go and live today to the fullness and completeness He gives us! Soli Deo Glori!

Goo'day mate!

Great day of Prayer, Study, Work, Track, Family Hang out time! Ran track today in "lunatic" style with my Twin...the dude flat out makes me better! Praise God!

There is something about pushing yourself to your physical limits, a spiritual and mental aspect that ties into it that you must experience to live life to the fullest! What a way to Praise God!

Thankful: For living with purpose and having family who makes me better!
