Drained…

Tonight is the end of day 9 of our 6 month mission trip in Haiti. Yesterday we started the Insanity workout program fit test and tonight we did the first workout… believe us, we think we’re kinda nuts too. But no, seriously, it has been pretty tough. But after our workout tonight we started to realize something. This workout isn’t just for ourselves… by us giving our all in this workout, we’re honoring God! We’re learning how to give all of ourselves… emptying ourselves of ourselves, giving all that we have, using all of our strength. By doing this we’re saying to God: We know that You are our strength! If we can learn to go through this life, giving all our strength, and then counting on God’s strength to get us the rest of the way, God is going to honor our dependency on Him, by trusting us with more and blessing us more than we ever thought. This being said, I want to go to bed every night so physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually drained that I have to count on God to get me out of bed and through the next day! That is dependency! That is faith in knowing that God’s got my back!
