Vocatus's Journal, 17 May 21

well, I just got to the gym and already it has been a great day.

I had my alarm set for 3:40 in hopes of getting to the gym by 4, but ended up staying up later than I wanted, so I reset it for 4:15. I woke up at 3:15 or so, fully awake. so I got around and got ready for the gym. but it was storming so hard I couldn't get to the truck without being drenched. after a few minutes, I decided to just wait it out. and while I wait, I'll do that scripture reading I have been trying to do each morning. Matthew chapter 5, the Sermon on the Mount. I sat and read and a couple of times, the rain slacked off to the point I could make it. but I didn't want to leave my reading - and besides, I got the feeling it wouldn't be raining when I was done anyway. Let's just say this isn't my first time getting so caught up in life I've forgotten to take time to seek God, only for Him to remind me.

sure enough, as I completed my brief study, I couldn't hear the rain. I walked from house to truck with barely a fine mist. I went into my office to get the rest of my gym stuff (it's a separate small building closer to where I had the truck parked), and walked from office to truck with not a drop falling from the sky.

it was raining again before I left the driveway. it stopped long enough for me to go from truck to gym.

what could I do this morning but take a moment to praise God and say "I got the message. Thank you."

then I stepped on the scale and was down 6 pounds from Friday (of course, I fasted Sunday, so it may well rebound a bit tomorrow).

now it's time to break my workout fast (breaking the food fast comes after lol) and keep this day getting better 😁

Amen Vocatus, thanks for this beautiful post💞. God is calling us to the blessed secret place- alone with Him: Psalms 91:1‭-‬2 NIV Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord , “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
