Happy day after Thanksgiving!
Welcome to the Principia Swimming and Diving blog!Mary Ann and I (Jenny) are setting this up to serve as a place for you to post your thoughts throughout this break and to serve as a place where we can track both your physical workouts and your metaphysical work.
Any team member can post comments on here and Mary Ann and I will hopefully be putting up some sort of workout schedule for you all soon. In the mean time, be writing down your workouts so that you can email them to us once a week (if not more often). We will expect you to send us an updated of your yardage and metaphysical thoughts every Wednesday by noon (to: mas@prin.edu and jcmoeller@gmail.com).
By Wednesday night or Thursday morning, we will have all of your updates posted and you will be responsible to your team if you aren't working out enough or if you haven't sent in your update.
This is an AWESOME opportunity for spiritual growth. Let's remember that God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called. I was thinking a lot about all of the people in the Bible that have gone through difficult situations, and it seems to be a theme that, humanly speaking, the least qualified individual is the one God appoints for the task. Moses had a fear of public speaking and yet God chose him to lead the people out of Egypt. David was the smallest of all his brothers and yet, he was the one who slew Goliath. Where human strength is the least, God's power is the greatest. Let us humble ourselves before God and show what Love can accomplish!
Here are two thoughts I'd like to leave you with for now. The first is a quote written on the second page of our blue swim bible. It says,
"Trust is the emotional glue that holds every team together... in times of trial, it transforms a group of committed individuals into a team of individuals committed to each other."
Let us work to trust each other and to show what a team committed to each other can look like. And secondly, from Prose Works:
"Faithfully and more than ever persistently, you are now, through the providence of God, called to do your part wisely and to let your faith be known by your works. All that we ask of any people is to judge our doctrine by its fruits." - My. 148:1-5
Christian Science works in EVERY situation and we can be the living proof that all things are possible to God. Mary Ann and I look forward to reading your entries and hearing what you're learning! Please shoot us an email or give us a call if you have any questions.
As always, lots of love,
Jenny
