sore muscles....

man i am sore. i must be weak. i am not used to shoveling poop. but it's a good sore. it's a 'i know that i have been doing hard work' sore. i know i will be stronger because of it.

so to become physically stronger we must tear down our muscles so that they may build up even stronger. i wonder if this is a universal way of becoming stronger? when i think of how different situations have made me stronger, they are always ones that tear me down, per say. only through these trials do i grow, or become stronger.

now what i need to do is, when i am 'sore' from 'shoveling poop', or whatever the trial may be, i must look at it as a 'good sore', an 'i know that i have been doing hard work sore', and remember that i WILL become stronger for it. to say bring it on....

now i want to say that i do not grow stronger on my own accord. i am blessed. i could not get through one moment of a day if it not were for the Lords help. from my daily breath to the food on my table. the Lord is there for me. guiding me. comforting me. understanding my needs and how i learn. isn't this a great blessing?!!!

well tomorrow starts a new 'pile of poop'. we will start to shovel away at it. my hope and prayer is that i keep in mind that this is a' good sore'. an 'i know iv'e been doing hard work sore', an ' i know i will become stronger from it' sore. well i'm off to enjoy each moment of today.

I think my favorite new phrase comes from you--"I'm off to enjoy each new moment of today." You've signed off each of your posts with some variation of that phrase, and I am charmed by it.

May your back be strong and your muscles limber.
