Sticking to What I Know

I have a friend from work who want to try and do a Triathlon. I have helped a few people in the past reach their goal of completing a triathlon. So it was nothing for me to tell her I would help her. So today she met me at the gym I train at and I just had her follow me and train along with me. On Monday's I do a strength training and did my normal routine of, Dips,Pull ups, Chin ups, Squats, Lunges and Bench press. Then we moved to the Treadmill (or the dreadmill, same thing) I noticed that she was running flat footed which I had never seen before. So I pulled her off the treadmill and went to the indoor track where we worked on proper running form. I taught her how to run on the balls of her feet instead of flat footed. Then back to the dreadmill for a 30 minute run (she is in the National Guard and is in good shape already) After the run she said that was the best run she ever did and it felt so natural. Not sure if it was because of my great coaching abilities or if she was so used to running bad that the good form felt better? Anyway after the run I met her at the pool. Before we started to swim she said she had a hard time keeping her head underwater. So I knew the first thing I had to do was to teach her how to breathe. I told her that swim breathing is backwards. You breathe out you nose (underwater) and in your mouth (preferably out of the water). So I had her practice this while I did my drills. She said, I finally get it now. I said good and then I gave her a pull drill and a kick drill. After it was all said and done she thanked me for all my help. She also said I really helped her allot. As I walked away I thought I really didn't do anything. She did all the work I just told her what I know.

You know our God is like that. He tells us what He knows.  He tells us how to live. How to talk. How to treat each other. He has instructions for everything we do in life. God gave us the Word of God. The Holy Bible is life's, "How to Manual on Life". I think it is funny how we as Christians spend so much money on how to books for our lives. I am not saying that these books are wrong, I buy these books as well.(allot of these books are based on Scripture as well) I just wonder if we as God's children would seek God's advice by just reading His Word and Praying. (praying = talking to God, Reading the Word is God talking to us)  I think if we spent more time doing this we could get the same advice that the authors of the books we buy get with the added bonus of spending time with our Great Saviour.

So until next time I will continue to seek Him and His will for my life as I Stare at Lines. (the Word of God. The only line, path and direction I need.)
