Your function here is only to decide against deciding what you want in recognition that you do not know. How, then, can you decide what you should do? Leave all decisions to the One Who speaks for God and for your function as He knows it. So will He teach you to remove the awful burden you have laid upon yourself by loving not the Son of God and trying to teach him guilt instead of love.

“I am not a victim. No matter what I have been through, I’m still here. I have a history of victory.”- Steve Maraboli Another week. Same grind. 14 weeks until The IRONMAN Group Florida, which will be my first full IRONMAN, a 2.4-mile ocean swim, 112-mile bike ride, and 26.2-mile run. And, As usual, life is still hurling #adversity my way, and I continue to train through it. Rather than feel sorry for myself, I continue to use adversity to fuel my training with new gains after a forced 10 days off of swimming due to a skin burn (couldn't risk infection!) Highlights this week include: #swimming : 8,038 yards #cycling : 154 miles with 56 miles as long ride of the week #running : 39 miles with 13.2 miles @ 8:37 pace as long run of the week #walking : 3.4 miles In addition, my fundraising goal has been met for IRONMAN Foundation, and Airbnb paid for (it was a gift it was nonrefundable!) #raceformore As you may know, I am raising funds for the IRONMAN Foundation. The money I raise will benefit community groups & organizations in our community(s) via grant funding. In 2021 alone, the IRONMAN Foundation distributed over $2.1 million to 1,500 organizations worldwide. $100 could mean bikes for several kids, money that helps keep a community center pool open or money that goes to honoring Gold Star families, or supporting diversity in sport through initiatives like Women For Tri, an organization I am passionate about as endurance sports has dramatically changed the trajectory of my own life. Please donate to the IRONMAN Foundation; every dollar counts! In Good Health. Ilana https://lnkd.in/geVf3ghy

So powerful and so memorable

Today marks the 3-year anniversary of someone we lost who was near and dear to us in our Mission Center at Recovery Centers of America. Joe believed in people when they didn't believe in themselves and when everyone else had given up on them. He serves as a testament of why we do what we do, and how we all need a little more of his spirit in us all. If you or anyone needs help just know there are people here for you who will believe in you and support you to get the help you need when everyone else gives up on you. 1-800-RECOVERY #5it #TeamRCA #recoveryispossible Katie Sullivan Cluff, Teresa Ryan, Monica Haynes, Robert Strauber, CIP, CAI II, CFRS, CRS, Erin McShane
