Watering my soul...

I haven't cried in a while, but I do today. Maybe it's the rain... or it could be just this subtle, yet persistant way that God is loving on me. "I love you and because you are mine..."

Jesus waters my soul with these moist cheeks. Though, I'm not sad. Discontent - maybe, but in a good way. I'm in one of the most wonderful places that I can be as a follower of Christ.

I have this insatiable desire to love others, that they would know Jesus more. I long to do ministry, but I feel that right now I'm in a holding pattern waiting for God to flag me down in order to give me instructions in the next part of this journey. He is making me more like himself throughout this process. It is hard. It is rich. It is worth it.

Jesus is my river of life.

Training...


Well, I've signed up to do my first triathlon. May 6th and counting down...

Jogged yesterday, and did my first swim training last night - 350 meters. This morning I biked 17miles. Hopefully as the training continues the actual event won't pose too much of a formidable task.

;-) Maybe I should grow a 'stache like this guy --->

Triathlon registration ~ $70
Gym membership ~40/mo.
Aerodynamic Facial Hair - No. Getting attention for the retro 'stache - Priceless.

When this is all said and done, I'll be the trimmest and in the best shape of my life. I don't have a moustache but I've got the beard thing going on.

I'm loving the challenge!
