Re-focus......

I have been asked many times this week if I would compete again.....answer to some I'll let you know, to others I would give the proposed dated....the truth I have had doubts about having the tenacity to do it again (i'm real...we all have doubts).....I've wondered if God would have me do it again or if this was just a one time deal......I've feared the expectation of competing again and not placing first (I am fiercely competitive....and now striving for excellence instead of perfection - that's growth;lol, but I have the desire to win all the same....) but the emotion was real all the same......the rebound has been difficult to deal with and readjusting a bit more than I imagined (though I am feeling and doing much better now)........I guess I just got scared (ha) started leaning to my own understanding (always a FAIL! ;).......so I logged on and I see the two pictures I posted below and it was not the fact that she eats meat and competes at 70 years old that drew my interested or released me to believe its okay to go for it again, I'm honestly not really sure what it was, but something about seeing her sparked the desire to compete just for the sake of having the opportunity to do, because maybe God will see fit to use it again to inspire someone or open the door to share Him with someone that otherwise I would not meet.....not sure, but thankful that God can use anything to get our attention and help us to refocus......yep its body building and yep it seems vain, but the process if surrendered to God (as with ALL things) can be used to build and bless.
Real talk - its been a difficult week.....but the same God who brought me through not only the process of competing for the first time, but the same one who has brought me to this current point, will insure in whatever the situation that I have ALL that I need to complete every task that He places in front of me. He will do the same for you.....Do not be discouraged, do not fear, do not worry (as we all are so prone to do) my Daddy will take care of us according to His riches and glory, He will do exceedingly abundantly ABOVE all that we could hope or imagine for....If our ways are committed and surrendered to Him He will establish us and lead us. No need to fear for He is with us and no matter the situation He will NOT leave us nor will He forsake us.
You can trust Him for anything.
Bless each and everyone of you.
