So yesterday my plan was to take all my running gear with me to work and then on my way home I would stop at the Stone Creek golf course in Oregon City and run around the trail a couple times (at high speed of course). But that plan failed when I forgot my bag of gear right where I had set it out the night before- right by the front door where my lunch box was sitting (obviously I'm not fully awake by 5:45 AM when I leave for work).
So Kelly suggested to me that when I get home later that day we pack up the kids and jogger strollers and go as a family to Stone Creek. I'll admit, I wasn't keen on that idea since that means going at different rate of intensity and I usually don't like driving anywhere once I get home from fighting through all the commuters. So instead we got the jogger strollers and went walking around the neighborhood looking at all the nice yards and making plans for things we would like to do to our yard.
The point of this post, and something that I have been working on in myself, is this: Being RELENTLESS has to have prioritized otherwise it will turn into being RECKLESS. A person, especially a Father, that is relentless only for themselves is weak and selfish. Relentless living for me has to be in this order: God, Wife, Family, Church Family- then everything else. Taking any of these out of order only equals one thing: EPIC FAIL!
I loved that we went and worked out together last night... and getting in some good yard planning time, while spending time together as a family was a GREAT evening!!!
