I never really considered myself an optimist befor coming on the Race. But I wasn’t really a pessemist either. I always thought that I was a realist. Because I would usually be the one that would fix the problem and if it couldn’t be fixed just move on. Since coming on the Race I find myself being asked almost everyday (by my team during debrief every night) how my day had been. Under normal circumstances at home I would be able to recall all the people that ticked me off or cut me off in traffic or the fight that I had had with my mom. These days I am singing a different tune. God has multipled His blessing on me since coming on the Race by giving me way more grace for people than I normally would. At the end of the day I usually can’t even remember the things that annoyed me or upset me. Maybe I am just chosing to look at the bigger picture, maybe I am chosing to just ignore all the little stuff, or just maybe God is showing me that their is no need to allow the small things that sometimes get in the way hinder me anymore. I believe this to be true because I know that God has that kind of power in my life now. We have started this relationship where He shows me things that I need to do and I do them. This is how I roll now. This way of life is way sweeter than allowing things to get in betweem me and God. I wake up most mornings and look forward to starting the day in prayer with my team and starting off the day on a great foot. I love getting to have another day with God and these great people that He has placed in my life for this season. I get to spend the rest of my life being with God, thats it, just being with God and that is enough reason for me to wake up everyday and thank Him for what He has blessed me with even if it is just for that day.
