40 lb push press
burpees
5,6,7, 8 , 9, 10
This was my turning point today.
I had trained a group in the morning, and I had barely been able to haul my stuff onto the field for them without my hamstring just aching. It was bad and I was so discouraged. Try being discouraged about something and watching everyone else able to do it.
So I went to a practice later that day, and was depressed. I was so down. I really didn't want to be there. I wanted to want to but I just saw no light at the end of the tunnel
A friend called me out (nicely) and asked if I had let the Lord help.
I've been holding myself back. I've been keeping myself injured. I was definitely not leaning on the Lord for help. I had decided that He was not going to help me next time.. But I realized that I was trying to do it all on my own. The minute I let go, didn't stress about it, and left it in His hands, it started to get better. This happened - then I was able to run! It's not a coincidence. The Lord knew that I needed this growth - and I did. I'm so grateful for His Love. I'm grateful that I was able to strengthen my belief in him through this. And to know that I don't have to suffer alone and that he will help me in His time. I know that He hears our prayers, and that he knows us more than we know ourselves.
