Ocean

I don’t have a lot of time so this is going to be a summed up version of the good stuff, my friend Kim and I were boxing for about 6 or so months give or take until it no longer worked for Kim. I figured I’d keep going but the winter hit and it got dark and cold and rainy and it is off the beaten path and not close to a bus route so that soon came to an end and so did my exercising. So from approx. August’ish until now I’ve sat around complaining how I’m getting bigger and doing nothing about me and that it’s not my fault there’s nothing out there that I want to do!  I want to do my karate and kickboxing again but there was only one place I could do that and for many years they were my competition and I knew I was not at the physical level I was when I trained all those years which would mean swallowing some….a lot….ok…. a ton of pride and straight up that is not easy for me I know I carry way to pride in my accomplishments.  Anyway, I called the school and I’ll say the name cause it ends good for them well and me too.

So I had an initial meeting at Champions and went over some old technique, pitiful,  Toronto Dad remember when you guys were here and I was sure I could still do a ‘round off back tuck’?  Well like probably most people my mind thinks I can still do things that I could do in my teens well nope!!

Anyway, I didn’t feel it call it pride or whatever, I call it not the right time.  A couple months later I called my training buddy Kim again and asked her if she’d consider checking out Champions with me cause the only sport I want to do is Karate and kickboxing and no other school offers it and it has a great and she said sure but I want to make sure everything works out with my schedule because why she stopped boxing so I agreed and we went for another intro and we both felt really positive about it so we signed up right there.  So that was the beginning of March and I am so happy that I’m finally getting off my butt and doing something that is so good for me.  SOOOOOOO happy. And I thought about what my reasons were for wanting to go back into martial arts and came to the conclusion its not to get my black because I already have all my belts I want to look in the mirror and like what I see, I want to feel healthy, I want this new weight of 130lbs (which BTW would’ve be a perfect weight if I could still fightL ) but I want the 130 to turn into muscle not be my jiggy jiggy. 

Other great things have happened, many great things God things,

Through 3 people praying for healing of my fractured ribs (that I got from a very bad cough I had) started to heal the next day and within a 2-3 week period the pain was gone, just gone.

I’m probably missing more.  If you’re someone that knows of a story I am forgetting please post it as a comment.

Alex is working at COBS down at the Quay so for all your bread needs please go and support COBS and you can get your fresh produce and fish as well.  They should be paying me for this.

Ok I have to go, bless you and pray for someone you’ve met for the first time today.

Check out ‘can I pray for you’ on face book a prayer group that started when I returned from my Mexico missions trip.

Thank you.
