This District Dash is certainly becoming a lesson in Choice. I knew it would, I thought long and hard about the changes in my life that needed to happen in order for this to become a reality. At it’s most basic level the choice was….. Choose to walk in order to fund projects that will have a life long impact on people….. but as next may draws closer day by day I’m challenged with the details of that choice fresh every morning….. like this morning, get out of bed and work out or NOT…. The flesh says no way”, after all it’s been used to that for a long time, it doesn’t want to change, it was happy and content never coming across a treadmill, “pump class” or a bar bell for years and years….Sure I could pray about it (and I do) but ultimately God in his wisdom allows me to be the director of the morning, prayer wasn’t going to get me out of bed this morning, I had to choose! And with help, like my wife’s encouragement, the vision of these projects in my mind and the commitment to “Do This” I did get out of bed, got to the gym and managed to last a whole 20 minutes on a cross trainer ( a personal record for me!) before doing some weight machines and heading home for a shower…..
As I reflect on this I constantly think of the verse “…. Choose this day whom you will serve….”. (Joshua 24) God’s gift of choice, free will and freedom is an amazing thing and I feel like I understand it a bit more this morning.
Have a great day…..

Way to go Dave. I push myself most days to get out of bed and get on that exercise bike. Somedays I feel that I don't have enough energy so i don't get on but most days I do and I have more energy throughout the day when I do. Those days I struggle, I need to pray for the strength. Thanks for that tip. Keep on keeping on. Make the right choide each and every day.
Way to go.,..angel
