I'll just be real honest... I thought this coming week was going to SUCK.
It is my first "peak week," aka the week before your competition, and I was convinced it would be miserable. I pictured myself to feel weak, exhausted, incredibly hungry, irritable and out of it.... but then God stepped in today and reminded me of something very important.
I am His.
I was over halfway through my hot yoga class (my second workout today after waking up at 430 this am so hungry I had to cook my breakfast before I could even think of going back to sleep) and I was shocked at how amazing I was feeling. Then it was clear; I felt God whisper,
"Why are you so surprised Alex? Of course you feel great because I am your energy and source of strength. I have brought you through seventeen weeks of training with enough joy, and strength and peace to last a lifetime and I will not abandon you now. You are walking the path I have carved out for you."
I literally giggled to myself in my savasana pose because I could just picture God shaking His head and smiling down at me. It is SO crazy to me how quick I am to forget His Truth and how Good He is... not just some of the time, but ALL the time.
All that being said to say, this will be a great week. I may be hungry, I may be tired, and more weak than usual, but God is with me and will never leave me or forsake me. I am expecting great things to happen.
