Is this the end or just beginning

Trimester 1 is over. The daily routine continues though, as Wrestling season is already in 3/4 swing. We’re heading to a tournament at 5:30am. On the bus now. As I write this, I am finding myself concerned, with a general anxiety that I somehow missed some detail I’m supposed to have caught. This comes out of a worry about control and judgement from other people. I am suited up though, and will be showing up. Whether or not people get annoyed though, is out of my control. I can just trust in God’s grace to help me be present.

Overall the day was great. What I noticed is that I understand and can coach the basics of wrestling, and I’m learning how to adjust to the flow of tournaments. My energy did not flow too far out, and although I was tired, I was not exhausted. I’d like to learn how to whistle very loudly.

We had 7 kids earn medals today, but they were all humble about it and I was really happy to be a part of it. We have video of it that I will post to our website.

I watched the Von Dutch story at the end of the day. It reinforces the fact that people want to belong to something. Popular culture/media is so interesting, but it can’t even compare with meditation. As I navigate through this day now (Sunday Nov. 21), I hope to stay present and continue to work on the basics. Knowledge of God’s will and the Power to carry that out.
