Nothing Important

Well there is really nothing important or exciting for me to write about, but I am trying to begin to write at least some words every day. The most exciting thing about today was that I obtained some running shoes, adding to my list of ways in which to get some endorphins flowing. The last time I tried to run I started by doing 1-2 hour runs and rather immediately injuring my knee. My illiotibial band has been the culprit because the constant pedaling motion of the bicycle can certainly tighten some parts of the leg past God's reccomended specs.

The plan is to start by doing short runs and build up muscles that understand how to run, and can make it an efficient work-out. This topic has quickly exhausted itself, so I will proceed to another thought that I had during the day. I was reading about how sometimes we grow really impatient with what God is doing in our lives. This sometimes has made me frustrated beyond belief. In all honesty I feel more likely to forget that I even asked or wanted anything from God, than to truly be patient and see it through to the end. Talk of little faith, eh? So I was of course investigating patience, and things of the sort, and the idea that God will often wait for us pretty much knocked me on my ass. Who am I to ask God to do things in my life while I go do pretty much whatever I want without the intention of growing? This is one of those instances in my life where I am sure that I am the one being waited for. I'm holding up this beautiful ride of sorts, and I intend to make up some ground.

The other option is that I am being overpatient. Most that know me will laugh at how ludicrous that sounds. Honestly it is not that unlikely though because it is far too easy in our society to sit around and wait, rather than really getting out there and making moves.
