Just Over One Month Until Competition

On this page, I have a list of prayer requests. I just want to expand on a couple of them.
  1. "To have strength and endurance both physically and mentally." As it turns out, that prayer is not just in regards to competition. Our office is moving some time around the middle of September...only a week or two before competition. And I'm doing the Trophy Ball at the studio on 9/13. So between the 3, there will be some stress. Not to mention sore muscles...
  2. "Prepare and compete injury-free." This is a tricky one since my left knee and right foot continue to misbehave. Sometimes I tweek my knee getting out of the car which I don't understand since I've been riding in cars all my life and driving them for nearly half my life. Some days, working out at the gym or practicing my dances just have to wait and I have to let it rest. As far as my foot goes, I just don't know what to do short of going to a podiatrist when competition is over. I have dancers' feet...no arch, a bunion and a big toe that flops over onto my other toes making it hard to go up on the ball of my foot like I'm supposed to in waltz and bolero.

But I believe God will work everything out to his glory. There is a quote in Joyce Meyer's "Life in the Word" that fits: My eyes are on God. I am walking in obedience to Him. Nothing can hold me back. I am anointed for His purpose. I will no longer procrastinate or be slow of heart to believe. I will move when the Lord says 'Move'".
