When I'm 15...
I want 15 to be filled with adventure, friends, and family.
I want to pursue God with all my heart, soul, mind and Strength.
I want to live without greed.
I want to get a real camera and show the world what I see.
I want to dance from the heart.
Because dance is a universal launguage that is spoken to the heart. But you have to be open to it to see the true beauty and art of it.
I want to shine.
I want to be runner, because running isn't a sport. It's a lifestyle.
In running, your biggest competitor is yourself.
In running, you have to do hard things and push through even though it hurts.
In running you set goals. Goals to improve, to grow stronger, to find who you are.
As soon as you complete a goal you make a new one.
In running you are never "Good Enough," because you can always be better.
It's the same with life.
You stride for better hoping for excellence, but that is one goal you can never achieve.
Which just makes me want it even more.
"Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize." 1 Corinthians 9:25-27
I plan to live. To really live at 15.
I want to live for God.
There are a thousand other things that I want to do and be when I'm 15, but I can't write them all down.
So tomorrow I start a journey, (and who knows what obstacles and joys await me) but I'm ready.
I'm ready to live my best.
