Sharing your Gifts

"Little Drummer Boy"

"Come they told me, parum pum pum pum,
A new born King to see, parum pa pum pum,
Our finest gifts we bring, parum pa pum pum,
To lay before the King, pa rum pa pum pum.
Rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum,
When we come.

Little baby, parum pa pum pum,
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pa pum pum,
I have no gifts to bring, pa rum pa pum pum,
That's fit to give the King, parum pa pum pum,
Rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum.
Shall I play for you, parum pa pum pum,
On my drum?

Mary nodded, parum pa pum pum,
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pa pum pum,
I played my best for Him, pa rum pa pum pum,
Rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum,
Me and my drum."


During this past Thanksgiving week, I have thought alot about those two words. Thanks and Giving. I am so thankful for what God has given me. Everyone has something special from God, be it sports, accounting, parenting, smiling, teaching...These special talents are gifts and gifts are meant for giving. Sharing your God given talents, big or small, pleases Him.
This song fills my heart with joy. It makes me want to get out there and swim and bike and run my best for Him.
Hope to see you out there:)

Live your best life.

Live life to the fullest.

Every day is a precious gift from God.

Be thankful.
Be kind.
Be honest.

Go after things with all of your heart.
Believe in yourself. Have faith in others. Have faith in the Lord.


I'm not gonna lie...it's been a hard year. I unexpectedly lost my "dream" job-a job I put everything into. I gave it all of my time and effort. I stopped training and quit racing so I could be better at my job. I lost my soul in the process but I thought it was what I was supposed to be doing.
But God has different plans for me. I don't know what exactly they are but I have learned alot about myself and others during this process. I know God wants me to be happy and to have a positive and uplifting affect on others...I can feel His hand on my head gently guiding me in the right direction.
I am working hard on doing all kinds of things right(training, eating, hydrating, stretching...)and building strong healthy relationships. I am living my best life right now. Are you?
