Isn't God Awesome Like That?

I have a confession to make.

Tonight was the first time I have been in a weight room in over a year...

Now, before you begin to judge me, let me tell you, it was a matter health concerns.

Obviously, last October through about April, I was in no condition where I could physically endure much physical activity.

And after April it was a matter of, "I don't want to do this alone."

Sure, I would go on walks, and I might run a bit, but it wasn't really deliberate or anything.

Well, today my streak of avoidance changed.

I subbed all day and then went to see my psychiatrist. I was in the waiting room and my phone vibrated with a text. My friend B was asking me if I wanted to lift with him at 8 PM...

I thought about it. I said "Sure dude!" Then my psychiatrist opened the door and welcomed me back to her office.

To make a long story short, things are still awesome, but, we're doing one small adjustment just for a trial to see if it does something. It would be complicated to explain it here, so I won't.

Anyway, then she said,
"I think you're ready to start working out and doing some major physical activity to get your endorphins going again!"

I said "NO WAY!" (as in an excited no way!) I told her that I had just got a text from my friend asking me to go! She smiled really big and laughed, "I am so happy to hear that. You need an accountability partner!"  Isn't God so awesome like that?!

She warned me on the way out that I shouldn't overdo it.

I kept her words in mind (remember the soccer game I failed at last spring?). I did some biking and other exercise equipment. I was so proud of myself! I think B thought I did an awesome job too. He helped me out a lot, and he is so glad he has a partner now. I'm so blessed to have this guy as a friend in my life.

In fact, we're getting in a routine and doing it every night this week!

Exercise does feel awesome! It felt so great to get those endorphins flowing again and I forgot how good this feels!

I just think God is awesome like making things fall into place so well!
