just look...


Just look at the rich color of the field. It is vibrant, it is deep green, it is ready for Harvest...Just look at the child whose eyes are filled with tears because they are full of fears......Just look at the woman walking down N. Main Street, trying to make money by hustling on her feet...Just look...at the street sign with bullet holes its truly time...Just look at this picture again, don't let your heart fail you there's work ahead! Its ready, its ripe, its time...Just look, his kingdom is coming, don't fear don't fret, just don't forget...Just look at yourself and say, what am i doing to reach a soul today... Just look...at the family of 5 holding up..a I'm hungry sign..Just look...there's a man who has not clue what to say..instead he wonders where he will lay..Just look..at the community so deep in need..will you go..will you fight..will you say its time for Gods kingdom to shine..just look and see get on your knee..fight for the light..to shine tonight.

JUST LOOK!!!
i wrote this thinking as i drove with my daughter down the streets of East Salinas. We were driving and praying down every street as we rode in the dusk of the night. As we drove down elkington, pacific, garner, del monte, casitas, mae, green, sieber, my heart said just look. One day it will be filled with children playing, not worried about the dark coming, filled with the love of God. filled with hope filled with peace..its not just some far distant dream. It is reality it will happen. JUST Look...it motivates me. it causes me to revolutionize the way i think, the way if see things. It is not impossible...because with God all this are possible! Dream...

I love The old school Nike Stuff

You don't stand in front of a mirror before a run
wondering what the road will think of your outfit.
You don't have to listen to its jokes and
pretend they're funny in order to run on
it.
It would not be easier to run if you
dressed sexier.
The road doesn't notice if you're not
wearing lipstick.
Does not care how old you are.
You do not feel uncomfortable because you
make more money than the road.
And you can call on the road whenever you feel like it. Whether it's
been a day or even a couple of hours since your last
date.
The only thing the road cares about, is
that you pay it a visit once in a while.
Nike. No games...just sports.

Sooner or later, you start taking yourself seriously. You know when you need a break. You know when you need a rest. You know what to get worked up about and what to get rid of. And you know when it's time to take care of yourself, for yourself. To do something that makes you stronger, faster, more complete. Because you know it's never too late to have a life. And never too late to change one.

Si Se Puede!


YES its been forever. Im still running. Im still going forward. Im still pressing on towards the goal. The Run is in November and its September. I still have so much more training to run a full 3.2 miles, but im going to do it whether i run the whole thing or i walk and run. Im not giving up im a fighter im doing it. HAHHA YES DONT GIVE UP! Im surrounded daily by those reminders of giving up, of saying dont do it, why run, why even think of it!! BUT then i say no push harder push until you cant push anymore. That's life right. That's what we have to do if we want to accomplish anything in life. WE HAVE TO PUSH. I hear the whole Rocky song in my head...only its Misty Edwards singing I will run. I will run I will run..Cuz all i want is the Lord and what he has for my life. This run is not about being fit. or saying OH i ran a 5K but to look at how far i have come in life and say I DID this with the help of the only lover worthy of my life!!! So if you feel like you are about to throw that towel in and say I quit. DONT DO IT push hard!!! Its in that one moment that you dont quit that you realize I HAVE COME THIS FAR, and ill go until i see the finish line in front of me! DONT QUIT~~~ SI SE PUEDE~~ YES I CAN~~
