I am starting a journey.
Currently I am 15 weeks out from the Tri Fitness World Challenge in St Petersburg, FL.
I will be blogging my progress.

For the first time...
I will be competing for me.
Not for my parents, not for my brother, not for my husband.
Not for my coach....or my friends...
Not for acceptance, sponsorship, or recognition, or fame.
Not for medals, or trophies, or money.
I am not competing to prove anyone wrong...to prove that I can do it...or to show myself worthy.
I am not competing to show how awesome I am or how hard I have worked.

I can want to do well. I can want to succeed. I can want to win.

For the first time in my life....
I am in a really good place.
God has assured me through His word that:
I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
I am worthy.
I have already run the race...and won the prize.
He wants me to have the desires of my heart.
He knows me...and what I want...and what I need better than I do.
The Lord has taught me patience, and perserverence.
He has given me hope and lifted me up. He has humbled me and broken my pride.
I have known what it means to be lost...and to be found.
I have been beaten, and broken, and bound...
but NOW I AM FREE.

Free to be Me.
I hope that you will join me on this journey...
it will be one that I will not soon forget!
