Confession day at Midoriyama.

With the youth on my mind as school starts, I wanted to share my day with the guys.

Now that the bourbon chase is coming up and one of our PAX needs a little support getting ready for it, I decided to put together a run day. With Merkins owed for one of our PAX’s 2.0. I decided to do Merkins and running. The plan is to run 1 mile and do 30 Merkins. That should put us at 3 miles and 90 Merkins at the end, and finishing up with 10 Merkins to get our 100 in. As we started, I realized that maybe I am in over my head. We get 60 Merkins and 2 miles in. My legs are killing me, my feet are hurting and so I deviate from the plan. We get 30 more Merkins in and then moseyed over for some sprint work. We do 15 Merkins and sprint to the other side and complete our other 15, then  sprint back.

After each mile run, I confess some of my actions throughout the day to the other PAX. As I confessed we stopped and said a prayer. The first prayer was for ourselves, that God may show move us in the right direction that God may forgive us for our actions. The second prayer was for someone else. That God may bless the person that we were thinking about, that we may have wrong, or whoever God laid on our hearts at the time. Please keep each other in your thoughts, in your prayers and when God lays a name on your heart don’t just pray about it, (although that is the best thing you can do for someone) but also reach out to them let them know that you were thinking about them. Maybe even say a prayer with them right then. God has given each one of you a very important role in this life. I hope that you can recognize it, that you can step up when needed, that you will not be afraid but know that the Lord has your back. Bless you guys and peace out.
