"So my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lordis ever useless." 1 Corinthians 15:58

Praying
It's been awhile but I have been working hard just as I was commanded by the Lord. I want to do well and glorify him. Slowly but surely things are starting to come together at work. There is still a lot to do and I am still very nervous because it's a new job. I don't trust this company. Anyway, my two co-workers are very negative and sometimes that is hard to deal with. I really try and keep my mouth shut. I can tell they are not happy because they don't understand what it is like to not have a job. Not only that I don't think they are believers. Most of that is based on their attitude on a day to day to basis. All I can do is pray and trust the Lord for putting me in this job. He has a plan for me and will provide for my family and I.

On another note, I am very disturbed about the things my sister is going through. The doctors in Portland don't listen to her so they are not prescribing the right medication to help her live her life on a day to day to basis. I feel so bad for her and she gets so frustrated. I will pray that God will find a way for me to help her.

Running
I ran the Polish Pickle run Saturday and started out great in the first mile (7:15), but that was too fast and mile two was in 7:55 and 3 was in 8:30. I totally crashed and burned. I did not run a very smart race. It was very warm 85+ and the course was hilly. The field was pretty fast to, probably because there was a first place prize. The ankle is still bothering me a little bit but I'm trying to fight through it. I haven't decided on if I will run Saturday morning yet. I'll see how I feel. I could use the break. The week after next, Fit starts so my new training schedule will start up then as well. I feel pretty strong and I know if the weather was cooler I would do pretty good. Tomorrow is track and it looks like we will be doing 400's. That could be interesting especially with the heat and humidity.
