Lets get it started

So racing finally starts this sunday. Am I stoked? Yes, Am I nervous? Yes ... I have some big goals for this season but by far the most important goal is to bring God glory & honor through my cycling. I thank Christ for dying for my sins and giving me a freedom that allows me to do all things through him. It took me awhile to realize its more than the medals. Whether I finish with a gold medal or as the last rider in the race my goal is the I have represented Christ and given an effort worthy of my King. I love cycling and racing its super sweet but I understand that Christ has to be at the center. I used to race and ride to get rid of deep pain. Stuff from my past the haunted me for a long time. Last spring I finally let Jesus take my pain away and now I race for him. No longer do I race to make my past numb but rather to honor him and bring him praise. I can do nothing without him. I can't compare myself to others. So here we go ...the start of a long season. I give everything thing I can so when I hit the line I have nothing left to give because Jesus hit the line with nothing left to give. He died..and rose again. For Christ!
