Over the last few weeks I have rekindled a love for a hobbie I've had for a long time but only recently gotten into at any real level. Most of you reading this know that this hobbie is mountian biking. As I said these last couple weeks I've realy began to ride again. Its kinda wierd actually cus after not rideing for about 4 months due to work and such i've realised that I'm not as good at it as I once was. I am quickly catching up to the level that I was at and will soon surpass it. However the season is quickly comming to a close and sun going down sooner and sooner (therfor limiting the amount of time spent at the dirt track due to lack of light)
Anyways it all eventually comes down to this... when we stop doing something we may even love doing we will quickly wear down the habbits and our ability to do said activity. This is me in my prayer life. My life in general has changed allot sence the last school year and really I'm finding it hard to get back into a dedicated time spent with God.
As some people will know there are many different types of Mountian biking out there from cross-country, to downhill, to the varying variety of freeride and dirtjumping. Lately I've been getting more into dirtjumping. Not so much for doing tricks and the like but to learn how to hit a jump and continue riding... basicly just to improve my overall riding ability and balance. Anyway i've been building myself up to hit this one jump... its the bigest one at the park we've been going to. Really its not all that big but it sure looks it when your coming up to it at a fair clip. The thing with dirtjumping or any freeride for that matter is that the whole point is to go big and if that means biteing it and haveing to pick yourself up out of the dirt and doing it again so be it. Personally I believe that it should be the same way with my spiritual life. I need to "go big or go home" exept to go home I need to go big. I need to put all inhabitions and fears and excuses behind and strive for more. That is what I believe my school is doing this year as a student body and i think thats what we all need to do in our spiritual life. So to everyone reading this "Go Big and Go Home"
