It has been my desire to be in CrossFit full time for so long that I was thrilled when I finally got the opportunity in August. The whole month was like a dream come true and I got to be among some of the best in the gym using the bar instead of dumbbells. Oh, the challenge level was greater yet I left there so happy that I could of been floating on air.
Imagine my disappointment when my daughter gave me her volleyball schedule which would no longer fit the CrossFit classes. All the games are on the days I usually go to the gym. Her practices are during times that are in between the CrossFit classes. The only thing to do is to go back to the FitNess classes at least for the months of September and October.
This isn't a big deal but I feel like it's a step back, like I'm going in the wrong direction. Unfortunately other parts of my life feel this way especially with my finances. I was so excited to pay off debt yet due to some unforeseen circumstances, I feel like I'm right back to where I started. Honestly, I didn't know what to do until now. I lightly prayed about it... well maybe not. It was more like a "it'll be alright" and just keep going. Prayer led me to remember this:
Jeremiah 17:7-8
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”
My job is to trust God with everything: my shortage in my bank account and my fitness journey. I trust that during this season of life He's not only going to take care of me by providing what I need but this is my moment to grow. At the gym, I can perfect skills I struggle in. Financially, I can learn to be more aware of what causes pitfalls. I can't wait to see my growth during this set back that just might be a set up.
