I started off with Spiritual Direction with my awesome Spiritual Director. He heard my confession and we talked about school and how I was prepared spiritually for my surgery. Since I have gotten hooked up with my current surgeon, I am a lot more at easy with what is coming and I have learned to trust that God is with me in this journey and that He really does have my best interests in mind. I had some REAL prayer time with him this month. Like the "I am scared crapless and I don't see how this is going to work out.... please let me trust you".
It's going to be tough, but it's going to work out. The Lord has thrown me consolation by the boatload to affirm His plans in me.
I then headed down to CrossFit Big D to finish the Open. 15.5 was a total gut check... especially with the crazy antibiotics I've had this week and the lack of supplement game. I finished in 14:46, but it was PAINFUL. I was happy to be done with it, but I was kind of sad that it was the last time I will be touching a barbell in a WOD for a few months.
I hung out with Laurie in the afternoon and we headed back for Big D hosting "Dallas vs. The World". I got to judge about 9 people over the course of the night and it was crazy intense.
What really made me happy was that afterwards we had a little after party. I was really reminded about how amazing our community is. Everyone is in their 20s to 40s, but it felt like I was back in college just relaxing without a care in the world... and even though I am not anywhere near the fittest person in my gym I know that I am a formidable force in playing Knockout basketball and flip cup.
Less than 60 hours with two arms... better make the best use of them.
