Like many of us, I had decided at 8pm Tuesday I was not going to post Wednesday morning. Then you get the call the Q and you sigh, but suck it up and realize you got to be there for the guys and give them a good showing.

So 5am rolls around and I load up and go post. 5:28 there is 1 other car in the lot and I am praying it’s the school principal opening the school. 5:30, time to roll so I get out of the car and it’s me and Shutdown posting.

After some pleasantries, I ask Shutdown…”Want to call it and go back to bed?” His response, “We are here, we might as well do something.”

Thank you to Shutdown for keeping me focused and not quitting. If there is 1 there is enough to post and workout!

Shutdown and I had a good conversation about youth sports and his playing days at Wake. Although it was just us, it was a great workout and happy we held each other accountable.

The Bricks without Straw references when the Israelites had to make bricks without the straw as Pharaoh become hardened against them trying to be freed from slavery.

Today we are faced with doing more with less….more at work, home, in the community with fewer resources. This leads to discouragement and feeling forgotten. God did not forget the Israelites and he does not forget you. He provides each of our needs and will always be faithful. Know he is walking with you every minute of every day especially when feeling discouraged.

Aye!
