So, I turned off my iPod, and decided to take advantage of the rare opportunity for silence on the treadmill. It's amazing what God will tell you/show you when you turn off everything around you and just listen. In no particular order:
- Stay with me. Today. Not ahead of me, not behind me. Get out of yesterday, and get out of tomorrow. Stay here, today. Step for step.
- You know how you feel when you prepare a surprise for someone, and then they ask about it? You just smile, and shake your head. You delight in the fact that they ask, because that means that they're anticipating something good! But you're not going to tell them a thing. Not until it's time. It's sweeter that way, because they'll really appreciate what they get, even if it's not quite what they expected. My plan for you is good. Don't worry. *smile*
- One more thing: you don't need to worry about impressing people down here. Just do your best, like you're working for me.

Slow...sluggish...early...yep, that about sums it up. I need new shoes. Good thing I was distracted.

You've heard this somewhere before, but I'll say it again:
I can't help but think that God is having a little bit of fun with the surprise stuff. :)
