Pursuit. Such a lovely word. Such a daunting task!

Now and then it is good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy. – Guillaume Apollinaire

This is an excerpt from Anwar Fazal and used in our “call to worship” during my church service this past Sunday. It is in all honesty, my full-blown fitness pursuit. It is a LIFE pursuit:

“Do more than attend; participate. Do more than believe; practice. Do more than care; help. Do more than be present; belong. We’re all in this together.”

I strive so hard to epitomize fitness. It is a passionate pursuit to praise my Lord for the gift of life He has given me. But I need to pause more often and just “be.” To leave it all on the field is a joyful fitness pursuit, and to bask in the feeling of having loved every moment is truly a peaceful feeling. That is how I want to “be” each and every day! It is my prayer for you too!
