Signs of Change

Now I am not one who is big on getting signs from God. Don't get me wrong here I am sure that he has put signs in my life that he just shook his head and said; Boy I wish that boy knew how to read my signs. 

But I can tell you that there are now two times in my life that I feel I have received a sign and have understood it for what it is. 

The first sign came after the end of my first marriage. I was struggling with the divorce and was truly hoping to make things work out with my ex-wife. I still was wearing my wedding band because it was all I had left of what we had started. 

Well I was in Las Vegas visiting my parents and decided to go to see a movie to lift my spirits. Well as I was sitting in the theater, I was spinning my wedding ring on my finger. When all of a sudden it came flying off. I heard it hit the floor and then heard it roll and bounce all the way to the front. For a very brief moment I thought about going to try and find it, but then it hit me. This was the sign that it was truly over and time for me to move on with my life. 

And now on to this most recent sign. I am not going to get into a long story of my history with sports and Triathlon. Ironman to be even more specific. But what I will say is that I have been having a real struggle figuring out if I should push on or move away from that part of my life. To do or not to do if you will. 

Well I feel that God again has finally stepped in and given me another sign. Now over the years I have purchased many Ironman Watches. I was even given a very nice GPS watch a few years ago. Well last night my very last remaining watch broke. A total of 5 watches are completely unusable. I got the message loud and clear. It's time for me to change my focus and move on to things that don't require me to pace or time myself. No more heart rate monitor telling me all my stats. 

So I am moving on and following some new ventures. Looking for more signs of Gods direction in my life. I am excited with all that is going on and look forward to the things to come. 
God bless
