Moments Part 2 | 11 of 16

​There is another young man I have been training with and my best crack at spelling his name would be Sihow (Sea-how). He is around fourteen years of age and doesn't speak much English. One day we found ourselves left behind at the training camp and had the responsibility to run the training ourselves. We actually were able to progress through the routines very well, all things considered. 

After we wrapped up, it began to rain. We both spent sometime outside in the rain just enjoying the weather. Because it was so humid, the water actually felt really good . I had some jazz music playing from my phone and I grabbed my journal and started to write. 

Before any of this happened, I had read a scripture earlier that day. The scripture spoke about when was the last time we asked God to cleanse us. When I recalled what I had read  I decided to use this rain as an opportunity to experience another baptism. There were no tears streaming down my cheeks this time during this impromptu self-dedication, but none the less, I believed my inward sincerity to be honored and accepted. 

​The last time I played in the rain like that I was but a child. And the last time I was able to write with the doors and windows wide-open while it was raining with the jazz melodies of Tony Bennett playing in the background, well, quite frankly, never. This was another one of those moments that if I did not record it on paper it could have easily been forgotten. That would have been a complete shame. 

​I hope these Moments encourage you to slow down, and take life in. Often times I think many become distracted looking for content to post rather than being content and embracing who and what is before them. Don’t sacrifice life’s valuable experiences for a false value of views, likes or comments. My challenge for you is to become more relevant in the moment. 

Talk soon & God bless, 
​MG
