Unstoppable

This year has been insane. School + training = kicking my tail. It's been extraordinarily hectic. I said tonight, I'd be fine if I didn't have the rest of life to take care of. Some days I feel like it's all I can do to keep my head above water. There are so many intricate annoyances that I can't begin to explain, unless you're right there going through it as well. And just as I think I have everything settled into a nice organized package, a wrench gets thrown at me. But, apparently I was raised right because even at my worst I keep on going...and going...and going (kinda like the energizer bunny!) And eventually, sometimes longer than others, there's a breakthrough and things fall back into place (for a very short time, I might add). I was looking for the Rascal Flatts song called "Unstoppable" to link to my post tonight, and I found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1xF1L8ZS7s . It's not the original version, but, it's wonderfully fitting. The original is fitting also, because, it talks about Love being unstoppable...which was why I was going to post it. I wouldn't be able to keep going if I didn't have the love and support around me from everyone. It takes an army to make one person's dream come true. But, I really like this version that Rascal Flatts did. You'll see why when you watch it. When you're done with it, youtube the original version if you have time.

I need a lot of prayers. My grant request for this year was denied. I was really counting on receiving it. I have more expenses than ever this year with going to Malaysia added on to the regularly occuring expenses. I know it will come. I know that God didn't bring me this far to leave me hanging. It was just a very big blow to think about having to deal with raising all the money on top of my already hectic schedule. But, Brian always says "We'll work on it. We'll fix it." And, he said it again this week, and I know we will. Somehow.

Today was a GREAT workout. My forearms felt GREAT. I was able to do full sets without stopping AND when I got done, the rest of my body actually felt like I worked out today. :)

Cable Rows - 150 lbs., 15. 175 lbs., 10. 185 lbs., 8. 195 lbs., 7, plus 2 more with 150 lbs.
Overhead Cable Iron Cross - 90 lbs., 110 lbs., 120 lbs., 12 each.
Lateral Pulldown - 70 lbs., 10 & 90 lbs., 6, both with the long rotator bar. Then 60 lbs., 2 sets of 12 with the parallel bar (i think that's what Brian called it).
Shrugs - 95 lbs., 15. 115 lbs., 2 sets of 10 & a set of 8 (i think...maybe just one set of 10).
