Such
a nice morning mass, and from there I hit my catechism meeting (I teach 8th
grade) and then hit the pool. Another
great half hour swim. No hip pain with
swimming. Can a person train for a full
marathon by just swimming? Probably
not. I’d drown for sure.
My dear friend and
one-time neighbor Jen stopped by for a little visit this afternoon. We played catch up and I told her that for
me, right now is mainly time filled with thinking about and preparing for this
marathon. I told her about my hip
concerns. She, as always, spoke soothing
God-filled words of encouragement.
And
when she said she would pray that my hip would be healed, I actually said
no. I said for her to pray that I will
love God’s will. I want to love God’s
will. I want to be happy. No matter what happens, and as Jen wisely
said, God already knows what I want. He
already has His answer. So, now it is up
to me.
I know in my heart of hearts that
His will is my only true happiness.
Ultimately, His will is the only thing that will be right for me. I want to love that. I really want to surrender. I want to be happy.
