Shared Joy

La Plagne, France
December 14, 2017
 
It snows everyday. Around 32 F / O C. Track is located way up in the French Alps. 
 
Race day is tomorrow. Unfortunately, I lost my race off by 1/100th of a second to Kyle, so she will be the brakeman for Kristi in tomorrow’s race. 
 
Not going to lie, I was really upset. I wanted to race. Of course, we both came here for this day. But, I have to remember that it was all planned out by the big man upstairs and good can still come out of all of this. Plus, Kyle has worked her butt off to get to race, and deserves to. When Kristi and I won in Calgary, Kyle cried in happiness. 
 
Tomorrow is my time to “cry” for them. I love these two girls and excited to cheer them on.  
 
Shared joy, is double joy. 
 
Things I say on repeat when life doesn’t go my way...
1. He will work all things work out for good (Romans 8:28)
2. He knows the desires of my heart (Psalm 37:4)
3. He will do more than we can even dream or imagine (Ephesians 3:20)
 
So…dream big.
 
Tomorrow after the race, we leave to visit Lake Como in Italy and then head to St. Moritz, Switzerland. St. Moritz is the only “natural” track in the world. Literally, built up every year with just snow.
