I received some discouraging health news on Thursday..... I have more tests next week AND I am trying hard to stay positive. However, satan has such a good way of bringing me down. I was struggling last night and just didn’t feel well. Work was tough but I ended the day on a good note BUT I went to bed feeling horrible and thinking “I could cancel my swim lesson (heck, I already paid for it and it is just one...I can miss it right??)”..... I prayed a lot and even cried a little.... but I know that God is sooooo in control and he has been preparing me for a lot of really good things to come.... . I woke up this morning and actually felt really good. I was surprised. So I strapped on my shoes and hit the gym. I ended up doing a 12 minute swim test (last time I tried I only made it 6 minutes)... this time I finished and went 550 yards! The farthest I have swam without stopping (that is a big deal because 4 weeks ago I could barely go 25 yards without stopping). My coach was so proud! And then I went on to run an hour and hit my best 10k split. . So TAKE THAT satan! I will RISE every morning and SLAY the day! You have no power over me! You can’t take away the things I enjoy and that make me feel good. I won’t let you!!! . #risaandslay #triathlontraining #triathleteintraining #run #swim #bike #mortgagebroker #loverofgod #takeontheday #prayer #godisgood #sjogrenssyndrome #autoimmunedisease #autoimmunediseasewarrior https://www.instagram.com/p/B7wcXoOB7lU/?igshid=hbq6owyxof4u
