Tonight our Communitas team met with Pastor's Coach. I wasn't sure what the point of us meeting him was. I knew there must be something to it or Pastor would not have arranged it. As it turns out, it was very beneficial to meet him. We met with him for about 2 hours and I'm sure we could have met for another 2 hours easily!
He had a lot of very useful information to share. He asked pointed questions that got us all talking. He even got us started on a somewhat heated debated. Not in a bad way. Just in a way that allowed many people to speak about how they were feeling and to bounce ideas of off each other. The conversation is far from over but it made me happy he was here to chat with us. He's not a coach in the sports sense of the word, as in he knows everything and it has to be his way or else, but in a way that he has done this a lot and observed others doing it. He's here to help us avoid making the same mistakes that others that have gone before us have made.
He spoke about a few specific things that clicked with me personally. I recently started to notice a trend with the team about getting healthy. A few months ago James said he was working out and giving up meat. God has been speaking to me about the same thing for quite sometime now but I've been choosing to avoid it. Hearing that was just another message to me that I needed to do the same thing. Many team members are fasting on sweets until they sell/rent their houses, find jobs and apartments in NYC. That will also make them healthier. God has very clearly been telling me that I needed to give up junk food (thankfully nothing about giving up chips & salsa : )
J sold his car and is riding his bike 4 miles everyday to work. T$ is eating healthy!
Last week my Man mentions that he hopes to finally get his health on the right path and start jogging again. He quit jogging in the middle of last summer. He goes to see a specialist tomorrow which gives us hope that he may have a diagnosis that will explain years of health issues. This diagnosis will allow us to finally treat it and get him on track to being healthy again. He is also fasting on sweets.
Coach had a few key points he wanted to share with us. One was that we needed to get healthy. We needed to take our best physical and emotional beings to NYC.
That's it. I see the trend. I need to do it. I need to truly fast on sweets and eat healthy. Always. I know this but now I'm convicted.
