Friday 2.11.11

Wake Up:
5:00 am

Daily Reading:
Isaiah 42-44
Psalm 56-58

Devotion:
Streams in the Desert
We must learn to take God at His worda dn walk straight ahead in obedience, even when we can see no way to go forward. The reason we are so often sidetracked by difficulties is that we expect to see barriers removed before we even try to pass through them.

If we would only move straight ahead in faith, the path would be opened to for us. But we stand still, waiting for the obstacle to be removed, when we ought to go forward as if there were no obstacles at all.

Faith that goes forward, triumphs.

Good Read:

Sonnet 19 (Sonnet XIX)
When I consider how my light is spent
John Milton

When I consider how my light is spent,
Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide,
And that one talent which is death to hide
Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent
To serve therewith my Maker, and present
My true account, lest He returning chide,
"Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?"
I fondly ask; But patience, to prevent
That murmur, soon replies "God doth not need
Either man's work or his own gifts. Who best
Bear His mild yoke, they serve Him best. His state
Is kingly: thousands at His bidding speed
And post o'er land and ocean without rest;
They also serve who only stand and wait."

Warm Up/Stamina:

• 30 min intense sealgrinderPT (been using the model from that website and adding reps so the 30 min is split up into 10 min of warm up and mobility drills and 20 min of going at about 80-85%. Really get a good sweat going and the first 10 min force me to get a good shoulder and hip warm up in)

• 14 DB Swings (7 each arm w/35lb db)
• 14 DB Power Snatch ( 7 each arm w/35lb db)

Notes: DB swings slowed me down, but was pleased with the hip speed in the snatches and I have really upped the number of burpee's these past two weeks and have seen big improvement. Absolutely flew through them today.
