Year end reviews

Wow, What a year I have had. I had no ideal when I started  2010 it would end like this. I thought I was gonna do really good and had planned for successes in my life as an age-grouper triathlete. It was a great year. With 6 races I had (2) top 10's (1) top 15 (2) top 20 all overall, (2) 1st place age-group, (1) 2nd place a/g, (1) 3rd place a/g and (2)5th place a/g finishes and qualifying for the USAT Age-Group Nationals. But that was not the only thing that had happened to me. In January I attended Elevate Church for the 1st time. I never thought that going there would change my life. It was here that made me desire to want to seek God and want to serve Him. Most of all I never thought I would be writing a blog of my journey as a Christian Triathlete.

So as I look back on my year as a Triathlete there are things I enjoyed and things I want to change. I have found a new enjoyment in running even if I am injured and not running  right now. I have a huge hunger to get back out and start running. I really want to work on my 1/2 marathon running. I would love to do that elusive 1/2 Ironman. I also really want to achieve an overall win. the closest I have come this year was 7th overall. I have set a standard high and to improve on this year's accomplishments will be really hard, but I am ready to try. I have also set my sights on competing the North Carolina triple T, with my brother Scott.(we are not really brothers, just brothers in Christ).

In my Christian life. I want to grow more in the grace and knowledge of my Lord and Saviour. I want to be used so great by God. It is my prayer that Staring at Lines will grow. I pray that this blog will start to reach people and create a desire to follow Jesus by following the perfect line of the Bible.  I desire that my journey through life and my own staring at the perfect line of the Bible will drastically change my life as well. I pray that I am an impact and a motivator to the people of my Church that I attend. I hope and desire to inspire many of people at Elevate Church, as they have inspired me in my life.

So as I journey through 2011 I hope and pray that the Lord Jesus Christ is glorified in all that I do physically and Spiritually. I desire that no matter what Triathlon/marathon I compete in that God's glory shine through me. No matter how I serve Jesus at Elevate Church or in my own walk that Jesus be Glorified. Through it all as I Stare at Lines in my training  of my body, mind and Soul that they all are based on the perfect line of the Bible. Finally if 2011 is anything like 2010 you will not want to miss following me as I Stare at Lines.
