So, the idea of the Weight and the Wait has been weighing heavily on YHC’s mind as I wait on what the Lord has in store for me and my family and as I think about the Burdens we carry in this life.
Funyuns and I ran with Rob Jones last year as he was completing 31 Marathons in 31 Days in 31 Cities…First one was in London (Not Kentucky). Oh by the way, Rob is a 2x Amputee. Rob’s tag line his to “Use The Weight” and his story can be found at https://youtu.be/gq4IdUpxVYY …
We all have different Weights and we all carry them differently. The only thing I would change in Rob’s awesome message is that we all need a partner, a spouse, a friend and sometimes a Brotherhood to help us carry the weight.
As a man with a Christian worldview (and a Potty Mouth), I also think about the word Wait and what it means to me. Right now, I am waiting on the Lord to show me the way to my next career so that I may provide for my family. The life that has been predestined and ordained for me is one of waiting, Waiting on the Not Yet but Will Be, waiting on the Voice for the next step and Waiting on being reunited with all my Brothers and Sisters at Home.
BH:
Prayers up for Spicoli, for this Class of young men that they become HIM (High Impact Men) and that they change the course and trajectory of their lives and families. Spoke with Olan Mills today, his Dad received good news from his Doc yesterday.
YHC,
