I cannot even begin to express the joy that I am feeling today!!! Last night I put on my new running shoes and was off for my first day of training!!! I did better than I ever expected!!! Then when I got home I started reading the book "The Grace to Race" that I bought yesterday. I must tell you, if you have never heard or read about Sister Madonna Buder, you should really take a minute to read her story. Her book is just AMAZING!!! It fit in so perfectly with the whole fasting and physical fitness journey that I am on. I cannot wait to tell my training buddies about the book tonight. :D
If reading this incredible book and accomplishing day 1 of my fitness goal was not enough for celebration, today for the first time since I fell on March 19th I was able to work in my yard, using both arms!!! :D For me, this Independance Day truely means I am gaining my independance once again!!! As I worked on cleaning up my German Bathtub planter I came across the following lawn ornament.
What a beautiful sight, because after all, this is what my purpose behind doing the Daniel Fast has all been about. Yes, a God Wink to so clearly affirm that I am on the right path!!
What a WONDERFUL day!!
