Funk
Funkadelic, funkalicious, won't you take me to funky town? I'm in a funk, and I'm not feeling very funky, you could say I'm in a grand funk. The good thing is I realize I'm in it, and because I realize that, I can get out of it. Realizing it alone helps me to pull out of it. I confided my funk to a friend, and by funk I mean to say I am spiritually and emotionally covered in gunk (no attempt to be Dr. Seuss). My friend asked how long has this been going on. Normally I would have no idea, but because I journal and keep an exercise log I'm able to pinpoint when the funk hit. My funk hit three weeks ago. I went from riding 100+ miles per week to 40 miles, I went from eating healthy to eating often, I went from journaling to channel surfing.
Maybe it's been going on longer than I realize, I don't know and I don't care. I can come out of it because I now know where I am. I've been mired in it for a few weeks but have woken up enough to find the way out. The first step is simple. Be still. Ps 46:10 Be still and know that I am God. He is God and I am not. In my mind I see God smiling at me like a parent smiles at a small child who takes those first few steps, or races around the block without training wheels for the first time (wearing a helmet of course).
The second step is simpler, it's time to do something. It's time for movement.
1 Cor 9:25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Training is regular consistent applied effort towards a predetermined goal or outcome (I made that up). My goal is to get people to realize if they know Jesus they need to do something about it, if they don't know Jesus they need to do someting about it. So now I train, I'll ride today and tomorrow, it may not be 100 miles but it will be a start. Most importantly I will be still and know, and I will focus on my goal one pedal stroke at a time.
