Training happens slowly.
You can’t rush the process of preparing for a marathon, a long-distance bike ride, performing surgery, playing a symphony. Training requires time and sacrifice. You can’t “cram.”
We all knew friends (not us, of course!) who waited until the day before the test to study. The all-nighter, ten cups of coffee, and perhaps some emergency prayers might get you through an exam. They’re not long-term learning strategies.
The weather in Colorado isn’t ideal for cycle training right now. I don’t really enjoy riding indoors, spinning on the silly stationary trainer. Tempting to huddle by the fire, sip coffee, and wait for nice warm weather before I begin training.
But…training is long-term. I can’t cram it into a few weeks just because it might be more convenient. Or fun.
Don’t sacrifice long-term on the altar of right-now.
What’s the thing YOU want to accomplish, that you need to train for?
Learn photography. Build a cool website. Read the bible with more understanding.
You don’t get there overnight. Or by watching TV. You get there slowly, long-term, with ups and downs. One step at a time, beginning with step #1.
I hope you’re thinking about the FREEDOM TOUR. I hope this is the year you decide to become part of this amazing journey of hope and freedom.
Maybe you’ve followed this crazy story for years and wondered if you’re the kind of person who does stuff like that. Perhaps it’s time to click the link and take the first step toward being part of a story bigger than yourself.
This is our fifth year of encouraging folks to follow God-sized dreams. We would love to have you join us.
