My High/Low of the week...

We have a question we use at the dinner table to help us keep updated on each of our kids. The question is: "What was your High of the Day?" and "What was your Low of the Day?" Or High/Low for short. Here's mine for the week.

HIGH: We did a quick trip to Florence this week to do some staff planning. We stayed at a friends house just up from Driftwood Shores, right on the beach. As you may know the weather has been absolutely great all week; even with the few drops of rain. It was no different on the coast. That alone is great... but it gets better.
Tuesday morning I got to get in an early morning run on the beach! Yes, folks that's my high. It was absolutely beautiful... perfect weather, stunning scenery and I felt great. With the small exception of the dead seal that I ran passed it was PERFECT!

LOW:
1. Went to the fundraiser for Vanessa Grossnicklaus at Papa's. That's not the low part.

[by the way, it was a great night to see all those a part of the Willamette Community coming together to support Pete and Vanessa].

2. Anyway, ate some great pizza. LOVE THE PAPA'S PIZZA... That's not the low part.
3. Went home and felt... bad. I haven't eaten that much cheese and pepperoni in months. It was quite a shock to the system. That's the low part :-(

Lesson learned.
Running on the beach... GOOD!
Eating multiple slices of Pepperoni Pizza.. BAD!
Eating the pizza was easy. Running on the beach was a challenge.

Brings to mind another lesson I've learned.
Choosing my own way... Easy.
Humbling myself before God... a challenge.

This application is clear.

"You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to, instead...he humbled himself in obedience to God." Ephesians 2:5,6, 8 (NLT)

This scripture helps me... If Jesus can do this... I can too!
