"Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong" 2 Corintheans 12:10
Here is the secret of Divine all-sufficiency, to come to the end of everything in myself and in my circumstances. When I reach this place, I will stop asking for sympathy because of my hard situation or bad treatment, for I will recognize these things as the very conditions of my blessing, and I will turn from them to God and find in them a claim upon Him.
"My God, I have never thanked Thee for my thorn. I have thanked Thee a thousand times for my roses, but not once for my thorn. I have been looking forward to a world where I shall get compensation for my cross; but I have never thought of my cross as itself a present glory. Teach me the glory of my cross; teach me the value of my thorn. Show me that I have climbed to Thee by the path of pain. Show me that my tears have made my rainbows. Alas for him who never sees, the stars shine through the cypress trees."

Notes:
- Monotonous workout. SDHP were tough mentally and added a very different dimension to the workout, especially when paired with fast movements such as squats and burpees. Low ceiling so thrusters got split up into weighted squats and kneeling military press. Military press took quite a while and slowed my overall time down. I was pleased with burpee time especially since my shoulders were completely shot after military press and SDHP. Pumped about the PR in situps as well.
